To print the text my text you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using class_name and get_attribute("textContent"):
print(driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, "current-stage").get_attribute("textContent"))
Using css_selector and get_attribute("innerHTML"):
print(driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "span.current-stage").get_attribute("innerHTML"))
Using xpath and text attribute:
print(driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//span[@class='current-stage']").text)
Ideally you need to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CLASS_NAME and get_attribute("textContent"):
print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "current-stage"))).get_attribute("textContent"))
Using CSS_SELECTOR and text attribute:
print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "span.current-stage"))).text)
Using XPATH and get_attribute("innerHTML"):
print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//span[@class='current-stage']"))).get_attribute("innerHTML"))
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
