how to click on a webpage all buttons with specific text, one by one

I have this quora webpage as a sample

It does contain 4 "View Upvoters" buttons Using this code, I want to get all 4 button in order to click them one by one later.

upvoter_list = wait.until(EC.presence_of_all_elements_located((By.CLASS_NAME, 'AnswerVoterListModalLink')))

print(len(upvoter_list)) gives me 4, which is correct when I print the text of the first element of upvoter_list 

print(upvoter_list[0].text)

I get 'view upvoters' as a result but when I print the remaining, i get the empty result,

print(upvoter_list[1].text)

what is the problem?

Solution

  • Use this (updated) 

    from selenium import webdriver 
from time import sleep
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
obj = webdriver.Chrome('path to driver')


list_of_upvoters = []
obj.get('https://www.quora.com/Have-you-ever-countined-to-pursue-someone-who-wasnt-interested-in-you')
sleep(5)
obj.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);")
sleep(5)
obj.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0,1);")
sleep(5)

for p in obj.find_elements_by_class_name('AnswerVoterListModalLink'):
    sleep(5)
    p.click()
    sleep(10)
    for div in obj.find_elements_by_class_name('author_info'):
        list_of_upvoters.append(div.find_element_by_class_name('user').text)
    print(list_of_upvoters)
    list_of_upvoters = []
    sleep(10)
    obj.find_element_by_class_name('modal_close').click()
    sleep(10)
