<div class="block wbc">
<span></span>
<span> text_value </span>
</div>
for getting text in second span where does below code go wrong?
driver.find_element(X_PATH,"*//div[#class='block']/span[1]")
For trying by yourself, maybe I write sth wrong here is link

And my code; still giving an error
playbackTimeline__duration =driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"*//div[#class='playbackTimeline__duration']/span[2]")
For finding web element clearly:
//*[#id="app"]/div[4]/section/div/div[3]/div[3]/div/div[3]/span[2]
But I will not use this way, I need declare with class method or CSS Selector at least
If you are sure that you always need the second span use this XPath:
*//div[#class='playbackTimeline__duration']/span[2]
If you need the first span that has actual text use this:
*//div[#class='playbackTimeline__duration']/span[normalize-space()][1]
If the #class has more than only playbackTimeline__duration in it you can use:
*//div[contains(#class,'playbackTimeline__duration')]/span[2]
If there are more div's like that use:
*//div[contains(#class,'playbackTimeline__duration')][1]/span[2]

Using Selenium 4.8 in .NET 6, I have the following html structure to parse.
<ul class="search-results">
<li>
<a href=//to somewhere>
<span class="book-desc">
<div class="book-title">some title</div>
<span class="book-author">some author</span>
</span>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
I need to find and click on the right li where the book-title matches my variable input (ideally ignore sentence case too) AND the book author also matches my variable input. So far I'm not getting that xpath syntax correct. I've tried different variations of something along these lines:
var matchingBooks = driver.FindElements(By.XPath($"//li[.//span[#class='book-author' and text()='{b.Authors}' and #class='book-title' and text()='{b.Title}']]"));
then I check if matchingBooks has a length before clicking on the first element. But matchingBooks is always coming back as 0.
class="book-author" belongs to span while class="book-title" belongs to div child element.
Also it cane be extra spaces additionally to the text, so it's better to use contains instead of exact equals validation.
So, instead of "//li[.//span[#class='book-author' and text()='{b.Authors}' and #class='book-title' and text()='{b.Title}']]" please try this:
"//li[.//span[#class='book-author' and(contains(text(),'{b.Authors}'))] and .//div[#class='book-title' and(contains(text(),'{b.Title}'))]]"
UPD
The following XPath should work. This is a example specific XPath I tried and it worked "//li[.//span[#class='book-author' and(contains(text(),'anima'))] and .//div[#class='book-title' and(contains(text(),'Coloring'))]]" for blood of the fold search input.
Also, I guess you should click on a element inside the li, not on the li itself. So, it's try to click the following element:
"//li[.//span[#class='book-author' and(contains(text(),'{b.Authors}'))] and .//div[#class='book-title' and(contains(text(),'{b.Title}'))]]//a"
I have these 2 xpath that are different each time I load a webpage.
The xpaths were recorded by Selenium-IDE and always have mainForm_view within the id string and the text before and after this always changes.
xpath=//input[#id='abc_hyd_wuu2_8333nd_mainForm_view_jjd_uueue2_jjd_11_jkdhd']
xpath=//div[#id='abc_hyd_wuu2_8333nd_mainForm_view_kcjjcs_sjsjs_jjdj_994_kkk']/div/div[2]/div/div/div/a[1]/h2
I've tried to locate the id like below but doesn't work.
xpath=//input[contains(#id,'mainForm_view')]
xpath=//div[contains(#id,'mainForm_view')]
Which would be the correct way to do it?
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE
I've tried with CSS selector like below but it seems is taking another id that is within an input element
document.querySelector("input[id*='mainForm_view']").id
Examining the html code I see that the id I need is related with a unique class. The code is like below:
<div class="Class_p2">
<div class="Class_p3" style="...">
<input name="8333nd$mainForm$view$jjd$uueue2" type="text" class="class a1 n1-Control" value="xyz" id="8333nd_mainForm_view_jjd_uueue2" disabled="disabled" style="..">
</div>
<input name="8333nd$mainForm$view$ttyi" type="text" disabled="disabled">
</div>
I've tried the following Javascript code in Chrome console but it doesn't work
document.getElementsByClassName("class a1 n1-Control").id
How would be to get the id=8333nd_mainForm_view_jjd_uueue2 that is related with Class=class a1 n1-Control?
UPDATE2
I was finally able to do it with
document.getElementsByClassName("class a1 n1-Control")[0].id
Thanks for all the help and time.
You can write css selector as :
input[id*='mainForm_view']
for div it'd be :
div[id*='mainForm_view']
Asterisk is to match the sub string part.
Note that if any id contains mainForm_view that will also be selected, so better to check in developers tool before proceeding.
You can try finding some other element for which xpath/css locator remains same and then try to reach to this element by traversing from there. You can use parent, ancestor, preceding-sibling, following-sibling keywords in order to traverse. Hope it helps :)
I have the opposite problem described here. I can't get the text more than one layer deep.
HTML is structured in the following manner:
<span class="data">
<p>This text is extracted just fine.</p>
<p>And so is this.</p>
<p>
And this.
<div>
<p>But this text is not extracted.</p>
</div>
</p>
<div>
<p>And neither is this.</p>
</div>
</span>
My Python code looks something like this:
el.find_element_by_xpath(".//span[contains(#class, 'data')]").text
Try the same with child elements:
print(el.find_element_by_xpath(".//span[contains(#class, 'data')]").text)
print(el.find_element_by_xpath(".//span[contains(#class, 'data')]/div").text)
print(el.find_element_by_xpath(".//span[contains(#class, 'data')]/p").text)
Not sure what's the referred el in your original post. But able to get all the text using the below.
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[#class='data']").text
Output:
'This text is extracted just fine.\nAnd so is this.\nAnd this.\nBut this text is not extracted.\nAnd neither is this.'
Instead of relying on WebElement.text property consider querying innerText property
Consider using Explicit Wait as it will make your test more robust and reliable in case if the element you're looking for is loaded by i.e. AJAX call
Assuming all above:
print(WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//span[#class='data']"))).get_attribute("innerText"))
Demo:
What xpath can I use for something like this without using ID? Or if there are more checkboxes but IDs are still different after refreshing page?
<td class="player" style="vertical-align: top;">
<span class="gb-CheckBox">
<input id="gb-uid-120" type="checkbox" value="on" tabindex="0" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
<label for="gb-uid-120"></label>
</span>
</td>
Try following:
//span[#class="gb-CheckBox"]/input[#type="checkbox"]
Why not:
//input[#type='checkbox']
this should be enough and will select all inputs that are checkbox type.
If you need only from a certain area then you need to add a constraint by adding another selector in front of this like:
//div[#class='my_prefered_area']//input[#type='checkbox']
Another way of getting the selector would be to use the pare of the id that does not change like:
//input[contains(#id, 'gb-uid')]
Of course you can also add the restriction for checkbox type:
//input[contains(#id, 'gb-uid')][#type='checkbox']
Seems like you got the answer as most of the ways mentioned above are correct.
Correcting the first one path wit CSS :
td.player>span.gb-CheckBox>input[type='checkbox']
(try it removing the spaces before and after > )
Or
td.player>span.gb-CheckBox>input
Will also work.
As you mentioned, if your Id is changing frequently, that means its an dynamic webelement and
if it is changing at the end(after gb-uid- i.e. gb-uid-120, then gb-uid-121 something like this) then use contains function on Xpath as below:
//span[#class="gb-CheckBox"]/input[contains(#id, 'gb-uid-')]
You can also locate this checkbox easily using cssSelector instead of xpath which would be much faster as below :-
td.player > span.gb-CheckBox > input[type='checkbox']
I need to test if the following HTML code and the CSS of that page results into a red and line-through price like:
<div class="listOldPrice">
<span>
<span class="wasPriceEuroDestination">€ </span>
719.
<b>-</b>
</span>
</div>
Can I do that with Selenium? How?
This is the Ruby solution:
price = #driver.find_element(:class, 'wasPriceEuroDestination')
assert_equal(true, price.displayed?)
assert_equal("rgba(255, 0, 0, 1)", price.css_value('color'))
assert_equal("line-through", price.css_value('text-decoration'))
That is usually handled by a class. Since classes aren't the prettiest to match on since they aren't very unique, it's difficult to give you a complete selector, but i'll put some placeholders in:
In Java, you could do something like:
assertTrue(driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div#someParentOfThatPrice div.listOldPrice")).isDisplayed());
If this test fails, that means that it can't find the element, ergo, it's not crossed out.
