I have a problem with the selectorer, which has a space at the beginning:

I have something like this on html:

    <div class=" _xyz"></div>

and in python I do this:

    driver.find_elements_by_class_name(' _xyz')

or this other:

    driver.find_elements_by_class_name(' _xyz')

The result is selenium saying that it does not locate the element. How do I select elements that have a space at the beginning?

html python selenium selenium-webdriver

Normally spaces are not a problem for selectors. Alternatively you could try to use a search by xpath with the function normalize_spaces

driver.find_elements_by_xpath(".//div[normalize-space(@class)='_xyz']")
