selenium python xpath trouble finding element text() on page

Question

I'm trying to verify the text Active: from this example

<div class="details">
    <p class="double">
        <a href="url">Set as default</a>
        <br>
        <a id="modal124434" class="modalAction" href="#">Delete</a>
    </p>
    <span class="bold">TEXT</span>
    : 1234567890 (12/2017)
    <br>
    Active:
    <a class="game" href="#GAME">GAME</a>
</div>

I also need to check TEXT to make sure it's there. I used the following to find TEXT:

foo = b.find_element_by_xpath('//span[contains(text(),"TEXT")]/..')

and when I print(foo.text) I can see all the text from the html example abve. So, I thought I could do something like this:

b.find_element_by_xpath('//span[contains(text(),"TEXT")]/..[contains(text(),"Active:")]/a[text()="GAME"]

but I get a NoSuchElement exception. I've also tried:

b.find_element_by_xpath('//*[contains(text(),"Active")]')

and still got nothing. Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

To print the element texts TEXT, Active: and GAME you can use the following code blocks :

• To print TEXT :

  print(b.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='details']//span[@class='bold']").get_attribute("innerHTML"))
  

• To print Active: :

  fullsting = b.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='details']").get_attribute("innerHTML")
  part_word = fullsting.split(")")
  words = part_word[1].split("G")
  print(words[0])
  

• To print GAME :

  print(b.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='details']//a[@class='game']").get_attribute("innerHTML"))

You can try this xpath :- //span/following-sibling::text()[2]

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span/following-sibling::text()[2]").text ;
