List' Object Has No Attribute 'Get_Attribute' While Iterating Through Webelements

list' object has no attribute 'get_attribute' while iterating through WebElements

Let us see what's happening in your code :

Without any visibility to the concerned HTML it seems the following line returns two WebElements in to the List find_href which are inturn are appended to the all_trails List :

find_href = browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//div[@class="text truncate trail-name"]/a[1]')

Hence when we print the List all_trails both the WebElements are printed. Hence No Error.

As per the error snap shot you have provided, you are trying to invoke get_attribute("href") method over a List which is Not Supported. Hence you see the error :

'List' Object has no attribute 'get_attribute'

Solution :

To get the href attribute, we have to iterate over the List as follows :

find_href = browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//your_xpath')
for my_href in find_href:
    print(my_href.get_attribute("href"))

Python Selenium problems with get_attribute('innerHTML')

find_element_by_class_name returns an element, but find_elements_by_class_name returns a list of elements. Like the error suggests you are calling get_attribute() on a Python list, which is not a thing. You have to specify an element in that list:

products = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("mod-article-tile__meta")
# get the innerhtml of the first element in the list
innerhtml = products[0].get_attribute('innerHTML')

IndexError: list index out of range / AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'get_attribute'

You are using a wrong locator.

This is why viewcth is and empty list.

find_elements_by_xpath(".//*[@class='eo2As ']//*[@class='EDfFK ygqzn']//*[@class='Nm9Fw']") finds no matching elements and returns empty list.

So when you trying to get a first element from that list by viewcth[0] you are getting

IndexError: list index out of range.

If you trying to perform viewct = viewcth.get_attribute('innerHTML') this gives you

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'get_attribute'

since viewcth is a list. Empty, but still a list.

So you can not apply .get_attribute('innerHTML') method on a list, it is not a web element.

If you want to get amount of like try this:

For images

likes = bdy.find_element_by_xpath(".//a[@class='zV_Nj']/span").text

For videos:

likes = bdy.find_element_by_xpath(".//div[@class='Nm9Fw']/a").text

Or

likes = bdy.find_element_by_xpath(".//div[@class='HbPOm _9Ytll']/span").text

Get the src value from a list of webelements with Selenium

I can find the mistake you have made.

Instead of this

images = [images.get_attribute('src') for img in images]

It should be

images = [img.get_attribute('src') for img in images]

Since you are iterating the list.

Now print the list you will get all src values.

print(images)

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'click' - Selenium Webdriver

Thanks for helping out. I found the answer for myself. Idea given by "Dan Niero"

The problem is, I am using driver.find_element[s] instead of driver.find_element. So one s makes difference and calling a wrong method. In fact I am following the eclipse autocomplete :(. Obviously driver.find_elements_by_link_text returns list so If I send click event it wont understand.

Thanks for helping and sorry for my bad question
