问题
i try to make a web crawler with selenium. My program fire a StaleElementReferenceException. I thought that were because i crawl a page recursive and when a page have no more links the function navigate to next page and not previously to the parent page.
Therefore i have introduced a tree data structure to navigate back to the parent when the current url not equal the parent url. But this was not the solution for my problem.
Can anybody help me?
Code:
public class crawler {
private static FirefoxDriver driver;
private static String main_url = "https://robhammond.co/tools/seo-crawler";
private static List<String> uniqueLinks = new ArrayList<String>();
public static void main(String[] args) {
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
Node<String> root = new Node<>(main_url);
scrap(root, main_url);
}
public static void scrap(Node<String> node, String url) {
if(node.getParent() != null && (!driver.getCurrentUrl().equals(node.getParent().getData()))) {
driver.navigate().to(node.getParent().getData());
}
driver.navigate().to(url);
List<WebElement> allLinks = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
for(WebElement link : allLinks) {
if(link.getAttribute("href").contains(main_url) && !uniqueLinks.contains(link.getAttribute("href")) && link.isDisplayed()) {
uniqueLinks.add(link.getAttribute("href"));
System.out.println(link.getAttribute("href"));
scrap(new Node<>(link.getAttribute("href")), link.getAttribute("href"));
}
}
}
}
And this is the output from the console:

回答1:
When you navigate away from the first page all WebElements in the
allLinks
list get lost.I would recommend converting it from the list of WebElement to the list of normal Strings like:
List<String> allLinksHrefs = allLinks.stream().map(link -> link.getAttribute("href")).collect(Collectors.toList());
and iterate through this new
allLinksHrefs
list instead.- You can use a hash-based collection for holding the
uniqueLinks
like HashSet - this way duplicates will be automatically eliminated - The current approach can take days to complete, consider using Selenium Grid and running your scraper in Parallel
