Select SVG using XPATH
Raw
select_svg.md

SVG tags are in another namespace

  • /g becomes /*[name()="g"]
  • /svg becomes /*[name()="svg"]
  • /path becomes /*[name()="path"]

For example, using Selenium:

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//ul/li/svg")  # wrong
driver.find_element_by_xpath("./ul/li//*[name()='svg']"  # right
