Tool for formatting inputs for selenium css selectors for multi class names (with spaces) - selenium python

July 15, 2020

When you use selenium to select an element with multiple classes using driver.find_element_by_css_selector(), you need to replace spaces with dot notation. For example, To select The following element: <i align="center" class="far fa-copy croc-copy-icon"> you 'll need to use the following selector with dot notation formatting: driver.find_element_by_css_selector(".far.fa-copy.croc-copy-icon”) Having to replace spaces with full stops over and over again can get repetitive and time-consuming especially for lengthy classes. Here is a quick script I use to replace all spaces with dots, and add a dot at the beginning of the string. I found this can save quite a bit of time import pyperclip text = "a really long multi class element t-14 t-black--

Infinite scroll selenium python

July 15, 2020

One way to handle infinite scroll is by using the height of the viewport. Here we continue to scroll until the viewport height before and after does not change, hence, all elements on the page have been loaded import time def scroll_infinite(driver, wait_time, number_of_times_to_scroll): # Current scroll height current_height = driver.execute_script("return document.body.scrollHeight") while True and number_of_times_to_scroll > 0: # Scroll to bottom of page driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);") # Wait for new content to load time.sleep(wait_time) # Calculate new scroll height n_height = driver.execute_script("return document.body.scrollHeight") if n_height == current_height: break number_of_times_to_scroll -= 1 current_height

python selenium cant find elements in iframe

July 11, 2020

To find elements within an iframe using selenium, you’ll need to use the driver’s switch_to.frame() method: i_frame = driver.find_element_by_id("iframe_id") driver.switch_to.frame(i_frame) Now you can locate elements as normal Why does this happen? Selenium initally looks for the first HTML tag available in the page. However, iframes have their very own second HTML tag , thus its necessary to switch back and forth when finding elements.

blogger CSS disappeared or can't find

July 11, 2020

Sometimes in blogger.com, when you try to edit CSS ( Theme > Customize > Advanced > Add CSS ), you find it missing! This is usually a result of changes made to your Theme's HTML, such as adding a CSS file or a script. However, you'll notice that nothing has changed on your site - so clearly your custom CSS is still there. Whilst I'm not exactly sure what the cause is, my guess it that this is not a bug, but rather a symptom of design. Without being able to see code base of blogger, my guess is when you first select your theme, there an initialisation script that runs which instantiates a reference point for "add CSS" component. However, when you make custom changes to the HTML, this reference point is lost either due to it not being updated, or possibly - it is overwritten to be empty. How to fix When you 'add CSS', blogger just appends it onto the theme's HTML page within the <b:skin> tag. So the fix is to grab it back! (a bit hacky i
