Description

Selector Gadget is an open source Chrome Extension that makes CSS selector generation and discovery on complicated sites a breeze. After having installed the extension, go to any page and launch it. A box will open in the bottom right of the website. Click on a page element that you would like your selector to match (it will turn green). SelectorGadget will then generate a minimal CSS selector for that element, and will highlight (yellow) everything that is matched by the selector. Now click on a highlighted element to remove it from the selector (red), or click on an unhighlighted element to add it to the selector. Through this process of selection and rejection, SelectorGadget helps you come up with the perfect CSS selector for your needs. There is a tutorial video and a bookmarklet version available at https://selectorgadget.com

How do I use it with Scrapy???I pick an item and the box just gave me .text, how do I convert that into .css() something?

There is no copy pasting the results and it seems like it's not very useful if we have hidden or underlaying elements.

Doesn't handle dynamically added elements very well (at all?). Does produce specific enough selectors to isolate a single element.

This does not give me the full path, not what I am looking for.

It really only gives very basic selectors that aren't at all likely to be unique. This isn't useful for getting css selectors for testing and I would imagine on anything but the simplest of web sites, it wouldn't be any good for scraping either.

almost never works on the pages I test... I'm removing this
