I could not find a website with several layers of nested frames to fully test this concept, but I was able to test it on the site with only one layer of nested frames. Thus, this may require a bit of debugging to work with a deeper nesting. In addition, this code assumes that each of the frames has a name attribute.
I believe that using a recursive function on these lines will solve the problem for you, and here is an example of a data structure to go with it:
def frame_search(path):
framedict = {}
for child_frame in browser.find_elements_by_tag_name('frame'):
child_frame_name = child_frame.get_attribute('name')
framedict[child_frame_name] = {'framepath' : path, 'children' : {}}
xpath = '//frame[@name="{}"]'.format(child_frame_name)
browser.switch_to.frame(browser.find_element_by_xpath(xpath))
framedict[child_frame_name]['children'] = frame_search(framedict[child_frame_name]['framepath']+[child_frame_name])
...
do something involving this child_frame
...
browser.switch_to.default_content()
if len(framedict[child_frame_name]['framepath'])>0:
for parent in framedict[child_frame_name]['framepath']:
parent_xpath = '//frame[@name="{}"]'.format(parent)
browser.switch_to.frame(browser.find_element_by_xpath(parent_xpath))
return framedict
You release it by calling:, frametree = iframe_search([])and framedictin the end it will look something like this:
frametree =
{'child1' : 'framepath' : [], 'children' : {'child1.1' : 'framepath' : ['child1'], 'children' : {...etc}},
'child2' : 'framepath' : [], 'children' : {'child2.1' : 'framepath' : ['child2'], 'children' : {...etc}}}
