It should be easy to write your own recursive finder. Sorry, I don't know python, but in Java it would look like this:

public void findInAllFrames(WebElement e, String targetIdStr) {

    List l = e.findElements(By.tagName("iframe"));

    for(int inx=0; inx targets = l.get(inx).findElements(By.id(targetIdStr));
        if(targets.size()>0) {
            // Do something with your targets
        }

        findInAllFrames(l.get(inx), targetIdStr);
    }
}

No, cannot pass Selenium, no need to switch to the corresponding iframe.

reason:

When loading a page, Selenium's focus remains on the top window by default. Top window contains other <iframes> and framesets. Therefore, when we need to interact with a WebElement inside an iframe, we must switch to the corresponding <iframe> via one of the following methods:

Frame switching method:

We can switch to the frame in 3 ways.

By frame name:

Name The attribute of iframe through which we can switch to it.

Example:

driver.switch_to.frame("iframe_name")

By frame ID:

ID attribute of iframe, through which we can switch to it.

Example:

driver.switch_to.frame("iframe_id")

Index by frame:

Assuming that the page has 10 frames, we can switch to iframe through index.

Example:

driver.switch_to.frame(0)
driver.switch_to.frame(1)

Switch back to host:

We can use default_content() or parent_frame() to switch back to the main frame

Example:

driver.switch_to.default_content()
driver.switch_to.parent_frame()

Better way to switch frames:

A better way to switch frames is to induce WebDriverWait# by setting expected_conditions to frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it ## To get the availability of the expected framework as follows:

• Pass

  Frame ID:

  WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it(By.ID,"id_of_iframe"))

• By

  Frame name:

  WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.NAME,"name_of_iframe")))

• Via

  FrameworkXpath:

  WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"xpath_of_iframe")))

• Via

  Frame CSS:

  WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"css_of_iframe")))

• Method of processing #document under iframe
