How it would be in selenium driver using python

Question

I know if we want to discontinue the loop when some thing found in the page like

    if "page not found"  in browser.page_source:
        return

but how it would be if something not found in the page source then return...

for i.e. but this doesn't work

    if "next page"  not in browser.page_source:
        return

please how to fix it..

What do you mean by "this doesn't work"? Does it always returns? — Buaban, Feb 09 '16 at 07:25
yes always return if next page is in the page source if want it to return when next page is not in the page source — Bostan, Feb 09 '16 at 07:30
There are 2 possibilities: 1. `next page` is inside an iframe 2. `next page` is generated by JavaScript. You have to provide more HTML so I can figure out what is the problem. — Buaban, Feb 09 '16 at 12:26
Can you print the page_source then manually check if the 'next page' exists or not? If not, you may need to get innerHTML of body instead. — Buaban, Feb 25 '16 at 23:44

You can add your code in the try-except block

try:
return str("your text") in self.driver.page_source
except:
return false
