💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'css_selector' when the locator is an XPath expression.

Trying to use 'id' with an XPath string.

XPath is used to locate elements by their path in the HTML structure, useful when IDs or classes are not available.

Using 'xpath' with a CSS selector string.

Using 'id' or 'class_name' incorrectly with complex selectors.

The css_selector locator is used to find elements matching CSS selectors, like '.main-content > p'.

Fill both blanks to create a dictionary comprehension that maps element texts to their IDs for elements with class 'item'.

Selenium Python

elements = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('item')
text_id_map = [1]: el.get_attribute('id') for el in elements if el.text [2] ''

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A{el.text

B==

C!=

D[el.text

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using square brackets instead of curly braces for dictionary comprehension.

Using '==' instead of '!=' to filter out empty texts.

The dictionary comprehension uses {el.text: el.get_attribute('id')} to map text to ID, and filters out empty texts with != ''.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a test assertion that checks if the page title contains the word 'Dashboard'.

Selenium Python

title = driver.title
assert [1] in [2], 'Title does not contain [3]'

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A'Dashboard'

Btitle

Ddriver.title

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using driver.title directly instead of the variable.

Mixing up the order of substring and string in the 'in' expression.

The assertion checks if the string 'Dashboard' is in the variable title. The message shows if the check fails.
