AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'click' - Selenium Webdriver

Question

I am trying to use click command in Selenium webdriver using python. But I am getting the below error. Can some one help me?

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\vikram\workspace\LDC\test.py", line 13, in <module>
driver.find_elements_by_link_text("MISCQA Misc Tests").click()
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'click'

Here is my program

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By 
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException 
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
import config

url = config.config.get('url')

driver = webdriver.Ie()
driver.get(url)

driver.find_elements_by_link_text("MISCQA Misc Tests").click()

driver.close()

I think I am missing some thing. Please suggest me

Answer 1

Thanks for helping out. I found the answer for myself. Idea given by "Dan Niero"

The problem is, I am using driver.find_element[s] instead of driver.find_element. So one s makes difference and calling a wrong method. In fact I am following the eclipse autocomplete :(. Obviously driver.find_elements_by_link_text returns list so If I send click event it wont understand.

Thanks for helping and sorry for my bad question

Answer 2

maybe driver.find_elements_by_link_text("MISCQA Misc Tests")[0].click() or another index...

I don't know Selenium, but I guess find_elements_by_link_text is finding more than one thing, or maybe the method always return a list rather than a single object. If you are absolutely sure that only one object should be the result of your search, than just use [0] as I mentioned, if you can't assume that there will be only one object, than you need to come up with a stronger strategy
