What's the get_Text() equivalent in python bindings for Selenium/Webdriver

I would like to move from开发者_运维知识库 Selenium 1 to Selenium 2. I use python binding however I can not find any get_text() functions.

eg. selenium.find_elements_by_css_selector("locator").get_text()

Is there such function in python bindings for Selenium/Webdriver ?

use the '.text' property.

element.text

This line of code...

selenium.find_elements_by_css_selector("locator").get_text()

...have exactly two (2) issues to be addressed.

Details

As per the current documentation get_Text() can be implemented in two different approaches:

• Using the text attribute: Gets the text of the element.

• Using the get_attribute("innerHTML"): Gets the innerHTML of the element.

Additionally, text attribute or get_attribute("innerHTML") can be applied on a WebElement but not on WebElements. Hence find_elements* needs to be replaced with find_element*

Solution

Effectively, your line of code will be:

• Using text attribute:

  selenium.find_element_by_css_selector("locator").text
  

• Using get_attribute("innerHTML"):

  selenium.find_element_by_css_selector("locator").get_attribute("innerHTML")
