Is there a way to find an element by attributes in Python Selenium?

Question

I got a html snippet like this:

<input type="text" node-type="searchInput" autocomplete="off" value="" class="W_input" name="14235541231062">

The only unique identity of this element in the html is the attribute node-type="searchInput",so I want to locate it by using some method of Python selenium sort of like this:

search_elem = driver.find_element_by_xxx("node-type","searchInput") # maybe?

I have checked the selenium(python) document for locating elems but didn't get a clue of how to locate this elem by the node-type attr. Is there a explicit way to locate this elem in python selenium?

Answer 1

You can get it by xpath and check the node-type attribute value:

driver.find_element_by_xpath('//input[@node-type="searchInput"]')
