HTML:
<a title="ITC" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="TPComView("2020-2021","39");">ITC</a>
I tried using cssSelector and xpath but it shows error like:
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element
You can use the find_element_by_xpath function.
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//a[@href="'+url+'"]')
To locate the element you can use the title, onclick or/and innerText attributes and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using link_text:
element = driver.find_element_by_link_text("ITC")
Using css_selector:
element = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("a[title='ITC'][onclick^='TPComView']")
Using xpath:
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[@title='ITC' and text()='ITC']")
Ideally, to locate the element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using LINK_TEXT:
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.LINK_TEXT, "ITC"))).click()
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a[title='ITC'][onclick^='TPComView']")))
Using XPATH:
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//a[@title='ITC' and text()='ITC']")))
Note : You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
