I have this code in html. and I want to go to a sibling node.
I search by title (since this is a unique value in the UI), but I want to move to the same level but with different class name that will contains ant-select-tree-switcher_close.
This is the xpath to what is marked, and I just want to move in the same level for the first span, but without span1, or any hard coded solution. I want to search by class name that contains the words ant-select-tree-switcher_close as some text in the class name.
the xpath is:
//*[#title='Arts/Ent'] this is marked in yellow
I want to go to the purple section regards
You can use preceding-sibling
//*[#title='Arts/Ent']/preceding-sibling::*[contains(#class, 'ant-select-tree-switcher_close')]
If you want to use the 'Arts/Ent' WebElement to locate the sibling you can use
./preceding-sibling::*[contains(#class, 'a')]

I need to find an element that is located next to another one depending to an if condition.
For example, I'm trying to retrieve the bottom with the word “Log In & Pay” only if I found the words ‘DANA’ before.
I can find the first element with text DANA in this way, but how can I find then the next botton element with the text “Log In & Pay” ?
driver.findElement(By.xpath ("//*[contains(text(), 'DANA')]"));
Below the Html page:
Get the span with the desired text, find the closest ancestor div which contains both els, find the el you want from there. i.e.
//span[contains(text(), 'DANA')]
//ancestor::div[#class='web-pay-wallet-inside-wrap']
//div[#class='action']
/div[contains(text()='Log In & Pay')]
try using nested predicates
//div[span[contains(text(), 'DANA')]]/following-sibling::div[#class='action']/div
Explanation
//div[span[contains(text(), 'DANA')]] finds the div which contains span with text DANA
following-sibling::div finds the following div at the same level
Selenium 4 introduces relative locators which allow to look up elements in relative position to others. Like:
above
below
right of
left of
and even "near"
You can find examples here.
I need to write the location of an element in page which has just the tag name and only 1 attribute - class and the class value has number characters which is dynamic so I have to use contains to specify the element.
Could not traverse from parent node as it is a list with similar parent name.
Any Suggestions please??
You can use the Selector.withAttribute method.
For example, the following code finds an input with an attribute, which name ends with 'testId' and clicks on it.
await t.click(Selector('input').withAttribute(/.*testid/);
If a class name changes all the time, but a column is always there.
how to navigate RFW to 2nd row and 6 column?

In ROBOT Framework, you can access the element by several ways. See http://robotframework.org/Selenium2Library/Selenium2Library.html . See section 'Locating elements".
The most common way is by id, name, class, xpath and css_selectors. So, let's assume that it is not possible to get locator by id, name & class due its dynamically changes during page load. So, we will use absolute xpath expressioin for this solution.
In xpath, you can access the node either by i) relative xpath or ii) absolute xpath.
If the class or id are dynamic and keep changing, then just use it's absolute xpath.
Before that, it is highly recommended if you install an add-on in your web browser for checking/inspecting the xpath element/expression. For firefox, just install 'ChroPath' extension.
The absolute xpath expression below will return a single matching node for ROW=2, COLUMN=6..
/html[1]/body[1]/div[5]/section[1]/div[6]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[2]/td[6]
The absolute xpath expression below will return all matching nodes for all rows, COLUMN=6..
/html[1]/body[1]/div[5]/section[1]/div[6]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr/td[6]
Then, in ROBOT Framework, you can access this element like below..
${xpath}= Set Variable /html[1]/body[1]/div[5]/section[1]/div[6]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[2]/td[6]
Wait until Page Contains Element xpath=${xpath}
${output} = Get Text xpath=${xpath} #if you want the text of this column.
Click Element xpath=${xpath} #This will simply click the element
I tried with following but no luck.
//button[contains(text(),'Upload')]
The XPath //button[contains(text(),'Upload')] will match a button whose first child text node contains "Upload".
It's not clear from your screenshot, but there may be an all-whitespace text node before the <span>, and if so, it would not contain "Upload".
Instead, try:
//button[contains(., 'Upload')]
There are many span tags as mentioned in the image below and each has its own a-tag with unique id as "chooseitem". I need to choose particular a tag using names in the span tags.
Need to click the a-tag button using the text Mayo Chicken from the above HTML snippet in the image.
I have tried the below Selenium script
WebElement select = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(text(),'Mayo Chicken (Single)')]"));
WebElement add = select.findElement(By.id("chooseitem"));
It doesn't work for me.
driver.findElement(By.id("chooseitem"));
The above code chooses the first item in the page by default as its id is also 'chooseitem', but need to define what to be chosen.
Can anybody help me out?
We need to get the common parent(ancestor) element of the chicked and the clickable 'a' tag, then we can navigate to the tag 'a'. Below xpath should ideally work.
"//span[contains(text(),'Mayo chicken')]/ancestor::div[4]//a"
Note: Here i have used div[4] because fourth parent is the common ancestor for 'Mayo chicken' and tag 'a'.

Hope this helps you. thanks.
You can do that by using the xpath position, press F12 for developer tools click on "Select element button", click the element that interests you on the page, as in your picture you will see one or more lines highlighted, right click the line -> Copy -> Copy xpath. You will have something like the line below:
//*[#id="comment-76500216"]/td[2]/div/span[1]
The xpath position will be:
//td[2]/div/span[1]
You can use that when you have multiple elements that share the name or id or so on.
And you will have:
WebElement select = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td[2]/div/span[1]"));
PS: I used google chrome
