class selenium.webdriver.support.relative_locator.RelativeBy(root: Dict[By | str, str] | None = None, filters: List | None = None)

Gives the opportunity to find elements based on their relative location on the page from a root elelemt. It is recommended that you use the helper function to create it.

Example:

lowest = driver.find_element(By.ID, “below”)

elements = driver.find_elements(locate_with(By.CSS_SELECTOR, “p”).above(lowest))

ids = [el.get_attribute(‘id’) for el in elements] assert “above” in ids assert “mid” in ids

Creates a new RelativeBy object. It is preferred if you use the locate_with method as this signature could change.

in please use the fluent API on the object to create the filters
