Checking IDs with Selenium & Python

I am running a selenium test with python. I am having a specific problem with the following bit of html code.....

<span class="cke_label" id="cke_8_label">Source</span>

I have tried the following.......

self.assert_element_present_by_class('Source button', 'cke_8_label', 'cke_label')**

here's the function .........

def assert_element_present_by_class(self, description, id, name):
    sel = self.selenium
    try:
        self.assert_(sel.is_element_present("//" + id + "[contains(@class,'" + name + "')]"))
        logging.info('PASS: "' + description + '" is present')
    except Exception:
        logging.exception('FAIL: "' + description + '" is not present')

This gives me this error.......

File "Template_Designer_P37.py", line 293, in assert_element_present_by_class self.assert_(sel.is_element_present("//" + id + "[contains(@class,'" + name + "')]")) File "C:\Python27\lib\unittest\case.py", line 420, in assertTrue raise self.failureException(msg) AssertionError: False is not true

I have tried a couple of other methods, such as simply trying to assert that the id *strong text*exists

My hunch is that the problem surrounds the 'id'

Any thoughts?

You try to use incorrect xpath and insert id instead of tag name. So correct version will be

self.assert_(sel.is_element_present("//*[@id='" + id + "' and contains(@class,'" + name + "')]"))
