My current project involves testing a webpage containing a list of product articles. Each article includes an item title, price, stock availability tag, and an add to cart button. To achieve my goal, I am attempting to gather all the product articles using the By library and CSS_SELECTOR locator. Then, I plan to iterate through this list to identify available items by locating the stock availability tag and appending these products to a separate list. Ultimately, I aim to randomly select a product from the list of available items and click on the add to cart button.
However, despite manual verification showing different counts for the complete list and the list of available items, my program consistently returns identical lengths for both lists.
all_items_on_page = self.browser.find_elements(*CataloguePageLocators.PRODUCT_POD_ARTICLE)
print(f"Total number of items on page is {len(all_items_on_page)}")
available_items = []
for item in all_items_on_page:
if self.is_element_present(*CataloguePageLocators.AVAILABLE_ITEM_TAG) is True:
available_items.append(item)
print(f"Total number of available items is {len(available_items)}")
return available_items
The is_element_present function has the following code:
def is_element_present(self, how, what):
try:
self.browser.find_element(how, what)
except NoSuchElementException:
return False
else:
return True
I have included the print statements to compare the lengths of the lists, although they are temporary and will be removed once the issue is resolved. I suspect the problem lies within the if condition, and likely has a simple solution that currently eludes me.
