python returns error regarding attributes when using stripped_strings while parsing a html content. This html content is added to the class

python returns error regarding attributes when using stripped_strings while parsing a html content. This html content is added to the class. Here is the code snippet, the data that needs to be extracted is part of a list.

Updated Code :

from typing import List, Any, Optional

import requests from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

class RESTApp: def init(self, url): self.url = url

def getAllUsers(self):
    # the list is added here
    data = '''<ul class="users-list clearfix">
                <li>
                  <img src="dist/img/user1-128x128.jpg" alt="User Image">
                  <a class="users-list-name" href="#">Alexander Pierce</a>
                  <span class="users-list-date">Today</span>
                </li>
                <li>
                  <img src="dist/img/user8-128x128.jpg" alt="User Image">
                  <a class="users-list-name" href="#">Norman</a>
                  <span class="users-list-date">Yesterday</span>
                </li>
                <li>
                  <img src="dist/img/user7-128x128.jpg" alt="User Image">
                  <a class="users-list-name" href="#">Jane</a>
                  <span class="users-list-date">12 Jan</span>

                  <img src="dist/img/user5-128x128.jpg" alt="User Image">
                  <a class="users-list-name" href="#">Sarah</a>
                  <span class="users-list-date">14 Jan</span>
                </li>

                  <img src="dist/img/user4-128x128.jpg" alt="User Image">

                </li>
              </ul>'''
    soup = BeautifulSoup(data, "html.parser")
    user_names = soup.find('ul', class_='users-list clearfix')
    split_details = list(user_names.stripped_strings)
    print(split_details)
    test = RESTApp("https://adminlte.io/themes/AdminLTE/pages/examples/profile.html")
    test.getAllUsers()

ACTUAL RESULT = AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'stripped_strings'

You're constructing BeautifulSoup with a string literal, '''data''', instead of the variable data.

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

class RESTApp:
    def __init__(self, url):
        self.url = url

    def getAllUsers(self):
        # the list is added here
        data = '''<ul class="users-list clearfix">
                <li>
                ...............
                </li>

                <li>
                ......
                </li>
                <li>
                .....
                </li>
            </ul>'''


        # parsing the data to get text from list.
        soup = BeautifulSoup(data, "html.parser")
        user_names = soup.find('ul', class_='users-list clearfix')
        split_details = list(user_names.stripped_strings)
        print(split_details)

test = RESTApp("https://adminlte.io/themes/AdminLTE/pages/examples/profile.html")
test.getAllUsers()

Change soup = BeautifulSoup('''data''', "html.parser") to soup = BeautifulSoup(data, "html.parser")
