_element should become part of the official API (allows Selenium calls)
See original GitHub issueLet’s look at some code similar to something I write using Splinter:
a = browser.find_by_id("foo")
txt = a._element.get_attribute('outerHTML')
try:
txt.find('some HTML')
except:
print("Test FAIL")
return -1
The point being, I’m using _element to access a method in the underlying Selenium that Splinter does not appear to support.
We should make this part of the official API: If you want to do something with an element and Splinter does not support it, use _element to make the required Selenium call. This way, already written code does not need to be revised.
