Python Selenium Loop click through links

Question

I am unable to loop click the links. When I try loop click the links it keeps clicking the first link only.

From the html code, I need the element named "key" value as well. How to capture it.

html file copy in dropbox. Please click https://www.dropbox.com/sh/85rx13m8iqwax4b/AACNDq_YyOukLh22JNv76vjua?dl=0.

html code

Python code I tried

elem = WebDriverWait(browser, 200).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//DIV[@id='propertySummaryList']/DIV[@class='summaryListItem   ']/DIV[1]/DIV[3]/DIV[1]/H2[1]/A[1]")))
     elem.click()
     browser.back()

Edit: Added dropbox link. Since the site is sign in only. I have made a copy of the page.

I do not understand, content of the link after clicking the link? or actual code of where link is available. If it is the 2nd on then yes, there is no href to get the url. I think javascript is handling the link href part. There is an event onclick / onmousedown event. — ACE, Nov 16 '20 at 22:36
the site is signin only. Can't be viewed without credentials. — ACE, Nov 16 '20 at 22:40
Your xpath is targeting a single a tag without incrementing. — Arundeep Chohan, Nov 16 '20 at 23:25

You can gather all the elements, then use a relative find to find the link you need. Be careful, this may cause stale elements if you don't open the click in a new window.

summaryList = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//DIV[@id='propertySummaryList']/DIV[@class='summaryListItem   ']")
for elements in summaryList:
    link = elements.find_elements_by_xpath(".//h2//a")
    link.text // or link.click() but need to open in a new window or will get staleElementReference

I have ran the script as per your example. But got error like ```python AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'click'``` – ACE Nov 17 '20 at 00:31
That's probably because `find_elements_by_xpath` generates a list. Try using `link = elements.find_element_by_xpath(".//h2//a")` instead. – Patrick Klein Nov 17 '20 at 14:48
I guess I am on the right track. As you said I have received staleElement error. I am figuring out how to open links in new tab or window. – ACE Nov 17 '20 at 14:57
@PatrickKlein I have added dropbox link with html files. Please take a look. – ACE Nov 17 '20 at 15:03
You can try this to open links in new window: https://stackoverflow.com/a/19152396/1387701 – DMart Nov 17 '20 at 15:35
I tried but getting error. `action = browser.action AttributeError: 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'action'` – ACE Nov 17 '20 at 17:52
Even when I try to manually CTRL + CLICK doesn't open the links just a blank window, I believe it is due to javascript links. – ACE Nov 17 '20 at 18:42
