How to find selenium element by part of text?

Question

Python

The page needs to find an element whose part has a match, right now I have the following code

self.driver.find_elements_by_xpath(
     """//div[contains(text(), 'фото профиля.')]"""
)

It only finds items whose text == "profile photo." , and I need to find an occurrence of this text, that is, if "profile photo." in text: ... , and it also finds elements whose text is, for example, "this is a profile photo."

How can I do that ?

Answer 1

He and so should find all elements on occurrence, contains after all and is translated as "contains".
For an exact search, one would use

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[text()='фото профиля.']")

So either your elements are not all divs, or something else is wrong. show full code
