How to get the attribute value of a web element in Selenium (using Java or Python)?
We can get the attribute value of a web element with Selenium webdriver using the method getAttribute and then pass the attribute for which we want to get the value as a parameter to that method.
In an html code, an element is defined with attributes and its values in a key-value pair. Let try to get the class – heading, for the below element on the page −
Syntax
WebElement t =driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li[text()='About Tutorialspoint']"));
String s = t.getAttribute("class");Example
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
public class AttribtValue{
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver",
"C:\Users\ghs6kor\Desktop\Java\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
//implicit wait
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
//URL launch
driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/about/about_careers.htm");
// identify element with xpath
WebElement t =driver.
findElement(By.xpath("//li[text()='About Tutorialspoint']"));
//get value of class attribute
String s = t.getAttribute("class");
System.out.println("Class attribute value is : " + s);
driver.close();
}
}Output
