Hope you´re really fine and can help me with this short question.
I´m trying to locate the following object id=C39_W133_V136_thtmlb_button_27
but using the text that is located after an span (text = "Edit"). Please I tried different ways but didn´t work till now, any idea?
<a href="javascript:void(0)" class="th-bt th-bt-icontext-dis icon-font" tabindex="-1" oncontextmenu="return false;" ondragstart="return false;" id="C39_W133_V136_thtmlb_button_27">
::before
<img class="th-bt-img" src="/SAP/BC/BSP/SAP/thtmlb_styles/sap_skins/belize/images/1x1.png">
<span class="th-bt-span"><b class="th-bt-b">Edit</b></span>
<b class="th-bt-b">Edit</b>
</a>

In order to locate an element using text contained in an element, the only option is to use XPath.
//a[./b[.='Edit']]
^ Start at the top of the document and find an A tag
^ ...that has a descendant B tag
^ ...that contains the text 'Edit'

To locate the <a>
element which have a descended <span>
with text as Edit you need to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located()
and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using XPATH
:
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//a[contains(@id, 'thtmlb_button')][.//b[text()='Edit']]")))
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
