Get value in selenium python

Question

I have an element:

<span class="a-color-price hlb-price a-inline-block a-text-bold">$399.98</span>

and I want to extract the price value in dollars which appears in the element’s text.

I have tried:

driver.get_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="nav-search"]/form/div[2]/div/input').get_attribute("value")

That span does not have a `value` attribute. So you'd be interested in getting the HTML of the span — Francisco, Oct 18 '17 at 13:42

What about:

SpanVariable = driver.get_element_by_xpath('Put Xpath Here')

SpanVariableValue = SpanVariable.text
print SpanVariableValue  # $399.98

You need to grab the text of the element you are looking at. Place the element you located in a variable, and then you can call selenium functions to it. In this case, .text grabs the text of your span element for you.

I'm not sure what you're doing wrong, it should be pretty simple. I use C# but based on what you've given I'd try this. And if this doesn't work, use a upper case 't' for the ending '.Text;' part of the call.

my_spanText = driver.get_element_by_xpath("//span[@class='a-color-price hlb-price a-inline-block a-text-bold']").text;

This one worked for me:

element=driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="hlb-subcart"]/div[1]/span/span[2]').text
