Feed List items with Integer

[euras]

I try to get a list item by feeding it with Int variable, but cannot find a way to do it.

# this one works
cars = ["Audi", "Opel", "BMW"]
for x,y in enumerate(cars):
    temp = int(x)
    print(cars[temp])

But when I try to feed an item directly with a variable, I get an error. I want to use direct method in WebAutomation (looping and picking elements in HTML).

# this one not
cars = ["Audi", "Opel", "BMW"]
for x,y in enumerate(cars):
    print(cars["{}".format(int(x))])

Error:
Exception has occurred: TypeError
list indices must be integers or slices, not str
  File "C:\Users\stony\OneDrive\Stalinis kompiuteris\Python\smeliodeze.py", line 19, in <module>
    print(cars["{}".format(int(x))])

This works

cars = ['Audi', 'Opal', 'BMW']

for x, y in enumerate(cars):
    print(f'{cars[x]}')

also this

cars = ['Audi', 'Opal', 'BMW']

for x, y in enumerate(cars):
    print(cars[x])

Output:
Audi
Opal
BMW

but how to do that when interacting with Selenium in webautomation? let's say I want to loop throug a list of elements and click on each element in the list. In that case I need to feed a index in an element path, but I cannot find a way to do it.

contents = driver.find_element_by_id("searchResultTable").find_elements_by_tag_name("tr")
for inda, content in enumerate(contents):
    print(driver.find_element_by_id('searchResultTable').find_elements_by_tag_name('tr')[f'{inda}'].find_elements_by_tag_name('td')[7].text)

Have you look at my answer it your other Thread?

no, that method does not work, since the browser zoom can be set differently, I need just to feed somehow the index into element path, to make it work, and run

driver.execute_script

method.

Then you can not do it like this.

.find_elements_by_tag_name('tr')[f'{inda}']

find_elements_by_tag_name('tr') in a loop return a webelement that can not be access bye referring to a index number[1]
.find_element_by_css_selector can be used to as showed in other Thread can be used to insert a index number.
If use find_elements_by_tag_name('tr') not in a loop so get all element,then can get use elements[1] on that list return.

ok, I tried it with CSS selector (took full Xpath), but it still does not work :/

contents = driver.find_element_by_id("searchResultTable").find_elements_by_tag_name("tr")
for inda, content in enumerate(contents):
    temp_el = driver.find_element_by_css_selector(">html>body>div[1]>div>div>div>div[2]>div>div[1]>div[3]>div[2]>table>tbody>tr[{inda}]>td[8]").text
    print(temp_el)

There is no f then there is just a string and not using f-string.
The basic of this wrong and right.

>>> cars = ["Audi", "Opel", "BMW"]
# Just a string nothing happens 
>>> for inda, content in enumerate(cars):
...     print('tr[{inda}]>td[8]{content}')
...     
tr[{inda}]>td[8]{content}
tr[{inda}]>td[8]{content}
tr[{inda}]>td[8]{content}
>>> 
>>> # Right way
>>> for inda, content in enumerate(cars):
...     print(f'tr[{inda}]>td[8]{content}')     
...     
tr[0]>td[8]Audi
tr[1]>td[8]Opel
tr[2]>td[8]BMW

And you CSS selector can not start with > as is not a valid selector.
Look at CSS Selector Reference .

thank you snippsat for your help! But I don't get it how to place that in an actual call for element. How to write that syntax on the following example?

contents = driver.find_element_by_id("searchResultTable").find_elements_by_tag_name("tr")
for inda, content in enumerate(contents):
   temp_el = driver.find_element_by_css_selector(f'html>body>div[1]>div>div>div>div[2]>div>div[1]>div[3]>div[2]>table>tbody>tr[{inda}]>td[8]')
   print(temp_el.text)

As don't now content of contents ,here is example from other Thread taken step further.
I use BS as it's easier to show than Selenium,CSS selector usage would be the same
So generate new selectors to take out first name,so a working example of similar task that you are trying to do.

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = '''\
<table style="width:100%">
  <tr>
    <th>Firstname</th>
    <th>Lastname</th>
    <th>Age</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Jill</td>
    <td>Smith</td>
    <td>50</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Eve</td>
    <td>Jackson</td>
    <td>94</td>
  </tr>
</table>'''

soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')
contents= soup.select('tr')
for inda, content in enumerate(contents, 1):
    print(soup.select_one(f'tr:nth-child({inda}) > td:nth-child(1)').text)

Output:
Firstname
Jill
Eve
