[FIXED] Multiple conditions when contains(@attribute) in Scrapy

Issue

For example, if I want to find link tag with application type "application/javascript" or "application/ecmascript", I would like to do something like this:

response.xpath("head/link[contains(@type, "javascript", "ecmascript")]")

It goes without saying that the code I putted above will raise an exception.

But I haven't found the way which will help me to apply multiple conditions in one XPath query.

Solution

Try this:

response.xpath("head/link[@type[contains(., 'javascript') or contains(., 'ecmascript')]]")

Be careful not using the same quotes in code and XPath.
