How to check if image is visible in Selenium Python?
Selenium Python - Check if image is visible
In this tutorial, you shall learn how to check if a specific image element is visible or not, using Selenium in Python language.
To check if an image element is visible in Selenium Python, you can call the is_displayed() method on the image object.
image.is_displayed()This method call returns a boolean value of True if the image is visible, or False if the image is hidden.
Examples
In the following examples, we shall consider loading the HTML file at path /tmp/selenium/index-30.html . The contents of this HTML file is given below.
<html>
<body>
<h3>Hello World</h3>
<img id="image1" src="/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/pe4-2.png" alt="My sample image 1">
<img id="image2" src="/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/If.png" alt="My sample image 2">
<img id="image3" src="/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/test_image-1.jpg" alt="My sample image 3" hidden>
</body>
</html>1. Check if image with id="image1" is visible
In the following program, we initialize a driver object, load the specified URL, find the image element with id="image1", and check if this image is visible using WebElement.is_displayed() method.
Python Program
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service as ChromeService
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
# Setup chrome driver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=ChromeService(ChromeDriverManager().install()))
# Navigate to the url
driver.get('/tmp/selenium/index-30.html')
# Find the image
image_1 = driver.find_element(By.ID, 'image1')
# Check if image is visible
if image_1.is_displayed():
print("The image is visible.")
else:
print("The image is not visible.")
# Close the driver
driver.quit()Output
The image is visible.2. Check if image with id="image3" is visible
In the following program, we shall check if the image element with id="image3" is visible or not. From the given HTML of webpage, the image is hidden. Therefore, is_displayed() method returns False.
Python Program
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service as ChromeService
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
# Setup chrome driver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=ChromeService(ChromeDriverManager().install()))
# Navigate to the url
driver.get('/tmp/selenium/index-30.html')
# Find the image
image_3 = driver.find_element(By.ID, 'image3')
# Check if image is visible
if image_3.is_displayed():
print("The image is visible.")
else:
print("The image is not visible.")
# Close the driver
driver.quit()Output
The image is not visible.Summary
