Selenium CSS Selector get only first element. How to retrieve all the elements

Question

Getting only one review using the cssSelector. Need to extract all the element of div.

public void getFacebookData()
{
    driver.get("https://www.facebook.com/?stype=lo&jlou=AffEX_j6PH-bDCZt13fmzFUMnE49egOV7IU-LhSi3jQAof5FGyuyPmrV48JQ-DjXrgm2fzxsvhC5L6NOWURamMZiNxooPxopmjtkYs2fn5yNzg&smuh=49385&lh=Ac9lhVHRV5hDKKho4Fw");
    try {
        Thread.sleep(20000);
        driver.get(FACEBOOKURL);
        final WebElement  totalRatings = driver.findElement(By.className("p8bdhjjv"));
        System.out.println("total ratings "+totalRatings.getText()); 
        final List<WebElement>  facebookReview = (List<WebElement>) driver.findElements(By.cssSelector("div[class='g4tp4svg mfclru0v om3e55n1 p8bdhjjv']"));
        System.out.println("size of facebook review list "+facebookReview.size());
        
        facebookReview.forEach(review -> {
            System.out.print("reviews are: "+review.getText());
            
            
        });
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }   
}

Generally for reviews, it is lazy page loading, you need to scroll down to bottom of the page and then get the count. — KunduK, Sep 29 '22 at 13:36

this should work for you:

driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[contains(@class, 'g4tp4svg') and contains(@class, 'mfclru0v') and contains(@class, 'om3e55n1') and contains(@class, 'p8bdhjjv')]"))

however, it might be slower than the css selector, since the xpath is (in theory) the slowest one

using this also it only takes first review. Not able to get all the elements having the same class – Urvashi Meena Sep 29 '22 at 13:55

are all elements displayed, when selenium is trying to find them? perhaps your page isn't fully loaded and only 1 is displayed, when you're trying to collect them – Marek Sep 29 '22 at 14:28
I checked on the google, as per that, cssSelector only take first element of that. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71548292/selenium-css-selector-get-only-first-element-while-the-inspector-show-4 For instance I also try:- `final List facebookReview = (List) driver.findElements(By.cssSelector(".g4tp4svg.mfclru0v.om3e55n1.p8bdhjjv'));` – Urvashi Meena Sep 30 '22 at 06:56
