How to locate or extract texts in html file using selenium in python?

How to locate or extract texts in a HTML file using Selenium in python. The text that I'm trying to get isn't an element.

<div class="datagrid row"> ==$0
 <h2 class="bottom-border block">Accepted Shipment</h2>
 <table>
  <tbody>
   <tr>
    <td>
     <input type="hidden" id="looseAcceptedPieces" value="56"> == $0
      " 56 pcs."

    <!--Modified by A-7558 for ICRD-244765 starts--> == $0
    <input type="hidden" id="acceptedWt" value> == $0
     "952 kg"

How do i locate or get that text under <input>, which is 56 pcs. and 952 kg perhaps, they are not elements.

To extract the texts 56 pcs. and 952 kg as those are text nodes you need to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located() using execute_script() method and you can use either of the following based Locator Strategies:

  • To extract 56 pcs.: 

    print(driver.execute_script('return arguments[0].childNodes[2].textContent;', WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//h2[text()='Accepted Shipment']//following::table[1]/tbody/tr/td")))).strip())

  • To extract 952 kg: 

    print(driver.execute_script('return arguments[0].lastChild.textContent;', WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//h2[text()='Accepted Shipment']//following::table[1]/tbody/tr/td")))).strip())

  • Note : You have to add the following imports :

    from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

You can fetch the values by using get_attribute("value") method 

piece = driver.find_element_by_id('looseAcceptedPieces')
val = piece.get_attribute("value")

And

weight = driver.find_element_by_id('acceptedWt')
val2 = weight.get_attribute("value")
