I'm looping from a diferents urls trying to get some information from some movies
I'm trying to get the writers. I am not extracting each csselector because perhaps in some other movie there is not the same number of scriptwriters and it would give an error. For this reason I want to extract the elements that are bound to the tag. For example I want to get all the elements of the tag "a" (image attached)
I have the following code but it's not working:
driver.find_element(By.TAG_NAME,"a")
I don't know if there is any other way without using tag
url movie = "https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7740496/?ref_=watch_fanfav_tt_t_4"
I think you are using python. Try to use one of this methods:
driver.find_elements_by_xpath('(//span[contains(text(),"Guión")])[1]/../div//a')
driver.find_elements(By.XPATH,'(//span[contains(text(),"Guión")])[1]/../div//a')
Check selenium documentation: Locating Elements
My result with java code it returns 3 elements as you want.

I have added the screenshot I have a group of elements that have the exact same xpath except the span tag.I want to identify the individual input fields, but unable to.
I have tried using contains, with class but unable to attach span to the xpath
Here is what the HTML looks like:
/html/body/div[#id='app']/div/div[#class='LayoutModify_LayoutModify_1Akxb']/main[#class='LayoutModify_main_5aBy3']/section[#class='sub-detail inner ProductDetail_productdetail_bJWN2']/div[#class='ProductDetail_productsphere_kgNGm']/div[#class='ProductDetail_threecol_2zA1n ProductDetail_productsphereleft_2pLZT']/span[4]/div[#class='el-input el-input--medium ProductDetail_productsphereinput_3eVZg']/input[#class='el-input__inner']
/html/body/div[#id='app']/div/div[#class='LayoutModify_LayoutModify_1Akxb']/main[#class='LayoutModify_main_5aBy3']/section[#class='sub-detail inner ProductDetail_productdetail_bJWN2']/div[#class='ProductDetail_productsphere_kgNGm']/div[#class='ProductDetail_threecol_2zA1n ProductDetail_productsphereright_3BrqC']/span[4]/div[#class='el-input el-input--medium ProductDetail_productsphereinput_3eVZg']/input[#class='el-input__inner']
Notice the span[4] and span[15] are the only differences
Quick question:
do either of these locators:
locator A
//span[4]/div/input[#class='el-input__inner']
locator B
//span[15]/div/input[#class='el-input__inner']
find any input on Your page?
If not - could You please post here the whole HTML page code here please?
Here is the xpath that worked:
//div[contains(#class,'ProductDetail_productsphereright')]/span[4]/div/input
I am using Selenium WebDriver and I have number of items on a page and each item on page is a separate form type.
I have saved all of these form elements in a list and I am iterating over every item in an attempt to get the name of the element by using the "alt" attribute.
However when I try to get the "name" attribute from the input element it is always returning the first input tag found on that page, not the name attribute of the element I have currently selected.
The syntax I am using is:
((Webdriver imgtags.get(i)).findelement(By.xpath("//input[#name='qty']")).sendKeys ("100");
I have also tried to get the id from the tag by using:
((Webdriver imgtags.get(i)).getAttribute("id");
It's returning a blank value, but it should return the value of the id attribute in that input tag.
I also tried to get the id by using .bytagname but as id is an attribute it is not accessible
Try:
(driver) findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(local-name(), 'input') and contains(#name, 'qty')]")).sendKeys("100");
To answer the comment by #rrd: to be honest, I have no idea why OP uses ((Webdriver imgtags.get(i)). I don't know what that is. Normally, I just use driver.findElement[...]
Hoping that he knows what works in his framework :D
Selenium Xpath handling is not fully compliant and it does not always treat // as a synonym of descendant-or-self.
Instead try tweaking your code to use the following Xpath:
((Webdriver imgtags.get(i)).findElement(By.xpath("./descendant-or-self::input[#name='qty']")).sendKeys("100");
This will base your search off the currently selected WebElement and then look for any descendants that have a name attribute with a value of "qty".
I would also suggest storing your imgtags array as an array of WebElement e.g.
List<WebElement> imgtags = new ArrayList<>();
This is a much better idea than casting to WebDriver to be able to use .findElement(). This will cause you problems at some point in the future.
Is there any other way to find out the count of webelements present in a webpage without using "findElements()" method?
This Question is asked in Interview. So I would like to know whether it is possible to get the count of Webelements without using findElements().
Update to #mate and #custom answer,
using xpath, to extract the number.
driver.executeScript(() => $x('count(//div)'));
if there is 25 div elements, will return 25 as a number.
Here's one way:
Go to DevTools
Enter $x('//*') to console
You will get the number of HTML elements
You could use WebDriver.prototype.executeScript which lets you execute some JavaScript code. That code can either be a function or a string:
driver.executeScript(() => document.querySelectorAll('*').length);
PS: I'm using the JS flavour of selenium-webdriver.
I have some elements on my page which have xpath like //*[#id='protect']/a, //*[#id='deezer']/a ,//*[#id='international']/a..I want to get all the xpaths in an array list..all the xpaths are ending with '/a'..but the id is different for all the elements..please help
i want to get all the elements in an array list.so that i can click them by using some loops and conditions inside loop
There's a straighforward way to do it in selenium: using findElements. Ex:
List list = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//a"));
You'll get every single hyperlink on the page stored in a List. Then you'll be able to handle every webelement in it by using loops.
I am using XPath to find exact value:
//h5[#class='familyName productFamilyName'][contains(text(),'Dozers ')]
but it was failing because in my application there are 2 elements with text values "Dozers " and "Dozers wheel" which is come under same class.
I can't use id locators,because it is dynamically generating in my application like //div[#id="482"]/div/div[1]/h5.
Please suggest me any solution.
If you want to match element with exact innerHTML value just use
//h5[#class='familyName productFamilyName'][text()='Dozers')]
or
//h5[#class='familyName productFamilyName'][text()='Dozers wheel')]
Depending on HTML structure you might need to use [.='Dozers'] or
[normalize-space(.)='Dozers'] instead of [text()='Dozers']
