python selenium find element with attribute containing sometext

Question

There is a li element which I want to select and it has only this information:

<li onclick="show_some_unique_action()"></li>

How can I do this in python and selenium? Is it possible to select the li that has an onclick attribute with text containing show_some_unique_action?

Try to use below XPath :-

//li[@onclick='show_some_unique_action()']

Hope it will help you :)

Use the below xpath to locate the element

//*/li[contains(concat(' ', @onclick, ' '), ' show_some_unique_action() ')]

It will locate the element.
