I have the following three buttons that I can't figure out how to grab the text that is inside of them (e.g Outliers). I tried browser.find_element_by_link_text("Outliers").click(), but got "Unable to locate element" error. How can I do it?

We can find an element that contains specific text with Selenium webdriver in Python using the xpath. This locator has functions that help to verify a specific text contained within an element. The function text() in xpath is used to locate a webelement depending on the text visible on the page.
We can click a button with Selenium webdriver in Python using the click method. First, we have to identify the button to be clicked with the help of any locators like id, name, class, xpath, tagname or css. Then we have to apply the click method on it. A button in html code is represented by button tagname.
text() and contains methods text(): A built-in method in Selenium WebDriver that is used with XPath locator to locate an element based on its exact text value. contains(): Similar to the text() method, contains() is another built-in method used to locate an element based on partial text match.
Another example XPath:
browser.find_element_by_xpath('//button[text()="Outliers"]') If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
