element_search with Selenium (Now With docstrings
😎
)
Just to mention, I'm a beginner to all this, so it it's very possible to make some mistakes
The idea is to create a Python script that contains various functions, that with the help of the Selenium library, searches for web elements, raising no errors, and in the same time writes automatically into a log file what is being searched and if the element was found.
Important note:
* you should already have selenium installed
* along with the specific driver for your platform and web browser
Refer to https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/installation.html for help with that
Current functions:
log_event(event, logfile='log.txt')
search_element(by, driver, element, element_name='', check_once=True, continuous=False, timeout=30, logfile='log.txt')
search_by_id(driver, element, element_name='', check_once=True, continuous=False, timeout=30, logfile='log.txt')
search_by_name(driver, element, element_name='', check_once=True, continuous=False, timeout=30, logfile='log.txt')
search_by_tag_name(driver, element, element_name='', check_once=True, continuous=False, timeout=30, logfile='log.txt')
search_by_css_selector(driver, element, element_name='', check_once=True, continuous=False, timeout=30, logfile='log.txt')
search_by_class(driver, element, element_name='', check_once=True, continuous=False, timeout=30, logfile='log.txt')
search_by_link_text(driver, element, element_name='', check_once=True, continuous=False, timeout=30, logfile='log.txt')
search_by_partial_link_text(driver, element, element_name='', check_once=True, continuous=False, timeout=30, logfile='log.txt')
