I am very new to this and i have tried to look for the answer to this but unable to find any.
I am using Selenium+chromedriver, trying to monitor some items I am interested in.
Example:
a page with 20 items in a list.
Code:
#list of items on the page
search_area = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//li[@data-testid='test']")
search_area[19].find_element_by_xpath("//p[@class='sc-hKwDye name']").text

this returns the name of item[0]

search_area[19].find_element_by_css_selector('.name').text

this returns the name of item[19]

why is xpath looking at the parent html?
I want xpath to return the name of item within the WebElement /list item. is it possible?
found the answer, add a . in front
hope this is gonna help someone new like me in the future.
from
search_area[19].find_element_by_xpath("//p[@class='sc-hKwDye name']").text
to
search_area[19].find_element_by_xpath(".//p[@class='sc-hKwDye name']").text
xpath to check only within WebElement in Selenium / Python
