Following xpath I have copied from the browser(inspect)
# // *[ # id = "customize-coverage--customize-your-quote--propertyDamage-1--info-title"]
I am trying to read the element but its just not able to locate it with the follwoing xpath
Is there anyway I can locate the above element by selenium? Please help. I am not sure why the belwo is not working to locate the web element by driver
return self.page_element(By.XPATH,
'//*[starts-with(#id,"customize-coverage--customize-your-quote--propertyDamage-") and ends-with(#id,"-info-title")]/span').text
I tried to use contains and regex also. Nothing seems to work.
Note: I am using python
ends-with() requires XPath 2.0, and although that's now nearly 14 years old, Selenium doesn't implement it yet. You have to use a combination of substring() and string-length().

PROBLEM:
I am having an issue to identify an element in Appium.
As I can't identify the element, I managed to identify by xpath the next element. Let's call it "FOUND" element.
SO now I try to get the previous element from this element "FOUND".
DETAILS:
In this screenshot above, you can see the elements I am speaking about.
To find the "FOUND" element, I am looping in all the element with the class "android.widget.TextView", I extract the attribute 'text' and compate it to the string 'Website'.
Then from the element FOUND, I try to find the element I need. I tried so many various expression, but I didn't succeed to get it. I use a "try, except" to try to cath it, but without success.
here is the code:
elements_of_profile_detail_page = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("android.widget.TextView")
list_xpath=[
"preceding-sibling::android.widget.TextView[1]",
"preceding-sibling::android.widget.TextView[1]",
"(/preceding-sibling::android.widget.TextView)[1]",
"/*preceding-sibling::android.widget.TextView[1]",
"(/*preceding-sibling::android.widget.TextView)[1]",
"(preceding-sibling::android.widget.TextView)[1]",
"../android.widget.TextView[0]",
"preceding-sibling::*[1]",
"/preceding-sibling::android.widget.TextView",
"preceding-sibling::android.widget.TextView",
"(preceding-sibling::android.widget.TextView)[1]"
]
i=0
while i<len(list_xpath):
try:
website = element_of_profile_detail_page.find_element_by_xpath(list_xpath[i]).get_attribute('text')
print(f"website : {website}")
print(f"xpath : {xpath}")
break
except:
print("It didn't work!")
i+=1
And here is another screenshot with more details of the element I need:
I am using Appium 1.15.1 and Python 3.7. I don't think it is important as it is a matter of Xpath.
I hope I gave enough details to find the solution. I am working on it since very early this morning.
You can directly find the element by using its text in the xpath like:
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[contains(#text,'AlfangeAcademy')]")
Firefox driver is not entering a value for Firstname field.
I'm trying the following:
driver.findElement(By.xpath(//*[#id=\JNHGYHG\"]")).sendsKeys("Hello");
Can someone help me with this?
Try this and see any difference.
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='JNHGYHG']")).sendKeys("Hello");
As mentioned in your code trial there is an error within the Locator Strategy you have used.
Solution
You can use either of the following solutions:
Using id attribute:
driver.findElement(By.id("JNHGYHG")).sendKeys("Hello");
Using cssSelector:
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#JNHGYHG")).sendKeys("Hello");
Using xpath (option A):
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='JNHGYHG']")).sendKeys("Hello");
Using xpath (option B):
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id=\"JNHGYHG\"]")).sendKeys("Hello");
Below is the HTML code of an element and I want to locate this element by classs and style property using selenium webDriver in java
<div class="qooxdoo-table-cell" style="left:252px;width:117px;height:24px;"/>
suggest a way which can be help full in selenium
I want to locate the element using java code
i.e. Driver.findelement(by. ....
As long as the element isn't unique you must grab both attributes:
This is the general form, replacing the empty strings for your required class and style:
driver.findElement("By.xpath(//div[#class='' and style='']");
So:
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='qooxdoo-table-cell' and style='left:252px;width:117px;height:24px;']");
Best of luck!
If you need to match <div> with exact style attribute, you can try something like
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='qooxdoo-table-cell'][#style='left:252px;width:117px;height:24px;']"))
Another way is to use cssSelector as follows:
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div[style='left:252px;width:117px;height:24px;']"));
If you are using a older version of selenium you can as well use the older version of cssSelector.
driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("div[style='left:252px;width:117px;height:24px;']")
Note: this function still works in current version of Selenium (with DeprecationWarning )
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']
I want to identify an element by linktext, I am facing strange issue
If the linktext value is short i.e addFirst, addLast will be able to locate the element by using
driver.findelement(By.linktext("addLast, addFirst")).click
IF the linktext is addmanualreferraltocheckthelenghtF, addmanualreferraltocheckthelenghtF lengthy as above not able to identify the element
Please help me to find the solution
Why don't you try partial link text.
driver.findelement(By.partialLinkText("addLast, addFirst")).click
try out contains method. use the XPATH value and in XPATH use contains for link text.
EG:
.//*[contains(#Linktext, "addmanualreferraltocheckthelenghtF")]
driver.findelement(By.xpath("//*[contains(#Linktext, "addmanualreferraltocheckthelenghtF")]").click
Alternatively you can also use starts with XPATH value.
.//*[starts-with(#linktext,'addmanual')]
driver.findelement(By.xpath("
//*[starts-with(#linktext,'addmanual')]").click
Hope it helps you.
