How to find element with specific class attributes in selenium (python)?

Question

On Windows Server 2012 I am using selenium 2.53.6, and I want to check if the class contains the element lock-icon for the following html element:

<a href="http://my.page/link/somewhere" class="more-link lock-icon" target="_blank">
                       Selenium Projekt dianep geheim
                   </a>

I tried the following expression with the python API:

find_element(by=By.CSS_SELECTOR, value="more-link.lock-icon")

but it returns a None although the element (shown above) is visible on the website.

How to do it correctly?

You should try as below :-

driver.find_element(by=By.CSS_SELECTOR, value="a.lock-icon")

or

driver.find_element_by_css_selector("a.lock-icon")

Hope it will work..:)

Since more-link is also class name you should call it like .more-link.lock-icon. See the following:

find_element(by=By.CSS_SELECTOR, value=".more-link.lock-icon")
