Using selenium to click link

I am trying to use selenium to click into a link and then back out. I am new to programming , but I have watched a few tutorials about this and still cannot click into the page. My code is below any help would be appreciated! when I was just trying to pull the building names from the website that worked. I cannot seem to figure out why this does not.

## LEED v3 2009 texas
driver.get("https://www.usgbc.org/projects/?Country=%5B%22United+States%22%5D&Rating+System=%5B%22New+Construction%22%5D&Rating+Version=%5B%22v2009%22%5D&Certification=%5B%22Platinum%22%5D&State=%5B%22Texas%22%5D")
#check this is the right website
#print(driver.title)

buildings = []

try:
    project_profiles = driver.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, "grid-item--title")
    
    for profile in project_profiles:
        
        building_name = profile.text
        buildings.append(building_name)
        print(building_name)

        #load building profile page
        building_profile_link = driver.find_element(By.LINK_TEXT, building_name).click()
        time.sleep(5)
        
        driver.back()
except:
    driver.quit()

I tried using just the string and also the variable name but neither worked

Solution

There are two things that you have to fix First is Replace Find by Linktext with PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT

building_profile_link = driver.find_element(By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT, building_name)

Second is Once you click on the link in current page, go to next page and come back the project_profiles elements list will become stale and you will get stale element reference on clicking , so you should find the list again to avoid that

Complete code Fixed

import time
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get(
    "https://www.usgbc.org/projects/?Country=%5B%22United+States%22%5D&Rating+System=%5B%22New+Construction%22%5D&Rating+Version=%5B%22v2009%22%5D&Certification=%5B%22Platinum%22%5D&State=%5B%22Texas%22%5D")
# check this is the right website
# print(driver.title)

buildings = []

try:
    project_profiles = driver.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, "grid-item--title")

    for i in range(len(project_profiles)):
        # Wait for page to load as order of elements will be incorrect otherwise
        time.sleep(5)
        project_profiles = driver.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, "grid-item--title")  # Find the list again
        building_name = project_profiles[i].text
        buildings.append(building_name)
        print(building_name)

        # load building profile page
        building_profile_link = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, f"//div[@id='result-grid']//h1[text()='{building_name}']")
        building_profile_link.click()
        time.sleep(5)
        driver.back()
except Exception as e:
    print(e)
driver.quit()
