Python selenium get location of an element
So I have this site and I'm trying to obtain the location and size of an element based on this xpath "//div[@class='titlu']"
How you can see that is visible and has nothing special.
Now the problem I've faced is that when I'm doing the search for xpath like this
e = self.driver.find_element_by_xpath(xpath) the location and size
of e are both 0
Also, for some reason, if I'm trying to get the text like this:
e.text is going to show me an empty string, and I need to get the actual text in this way e.get_attribute("textContain")
So do you have any idea how can I get the location and size of this element?

There are two elements matching this xpath. driver.find_element_by_xpath returns the first one while you are looking for the second one. Use the ancestor <div> with id attribute for unique xpath
"//div[@id='content-detalii']//div[@class='titlu']"
