How to extract the text "152" from the textnode using Selenium

enter image description here

I need to extract the xpath for the number 152. The xpath that I created extracts the text after 152 which is "Test" but excludes the number 152. I need to get this count.

I am using below xpath :

//div\[@class='filter_filter__5H_fi'\]/h1

Not sure how to get this.

Solution

  • As per the HTML:

    HTML

    both the text 152 and Test are within their respective text nodes.

    Solution

    To retrive the text 152 you can use either of the following locator strategies:

    • Using Java, cssSelector and firstChild:

      WebElement = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div.filter_filter__5H_fi > h1"));
System.out.println(((JavaScriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("return arguments[0].firstChild.textContent;", element).toString());

    • Using Python, xpath and firstChild:

      parent_element = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//div[@class='filter_filter__5H_fi']/h1")
print(driver.execute_script('return arguments[0].firstChild.textContent;', parent_element).strip())
