I found a problem when using python selenium: Use 'find_element_by_partial_link_text("abc")' .If the "abcd" link still matches in the first place, how can I avoid this problem?

I need to exactly match 'abc', only match 'abc', not 'abcd'. How should I write it?

  • So the first link with "abcd" does match? I don't understand the question – Anand May 01 '18 at 13:44

find_element_by_partial_link_text will locate any element with partial match. So the string "abc" will match any string containing this sequence ("qabc", "abckj" and so on).

For exact match use find_element_by_link_text, without the partial.
