This was just a random script I made to complete a quiz but I can't seem to access the final element. I want to select the element, click the element and then send some text to the element.
I have tried to access the input box by class name, CssSelector and by XPath.
The website is https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test
Here are the XPaths I have tried:
//*[contains(#class, 'email-wrapper')]
//div[contains(#placeholder, 'your#email.com')]
//div[#class="row request-info-wrapper"]
//*[#id='request - email']"
Any help is greatly appreciated as I'm new to the framework and would very much like to know what I'm not understanding about locators! Thank you!
EDIT:
I can't seem to target this element or any of its children:
You have selected wrong tag DIV.Try this following Xpath. All should work.
"//input[#id='request-email']"
Or
"//input[#name='email']"
Or
"//input[#placeholder='your#email.com']"
Your field has a (presently) unique ID of "request-email".
Thus you can simply use, as a CSS selector,
('#request-email')
Then, in you can simply tell Selenium to hit ENTER to save your data. Let me know if you need help doing that.

I want to use XPath to locate a link behind a text.
I want to use XPath to locate a link behind a text. For example, locate "one4" by "what10". You can only use the text message "what10", but you can't use it in any other way, because the information on this page will change. I want to get is the "one4" link node.
<body>
<p>
so
<br>what1 one
<br>what2two
<br>what11one4
<br>what3three
<br>what4one1
<br>what5two2
<br>what6three3
<br>what7one3
<br>what8two3
<br>what9three3
<br>what10one4
<br>just return
<br></p>
</body>
For some special reasons, what I want to pass is that the text of what10 is positioned to one4.
Please help me.
You can use below line
WebElement loginLink = driver.findElement(By.linkText("one4"));
Selenium doesn't supports xpath-2.0 but uses xpath-1.0
The element which you are trying to refer i.e. which contains the text what10 is a Text Node and Selenium can't use it as a reference. So finding the node with text as one4 with reference to the text what10 won't be possible. As an alternative if the desired node is always the last but one node you can use the following solution:
xpath:
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//body/p//a[position()=last()-1]"));
Update
As per #MosheSlavin counter question here is the snapshot to demonstrate that the XPath works perfecto:
I have a celltable , where i have multiple rows and is a dynamic table,
Screenshot attached ..
What i want is to find the row where column contains useren#lim.mobi
and then click its checkBox.
I am trying with xpath but not much experience here , If i can get some help please
Thanks
Here is the html code of the specific cell
I don't know the exact html of your table to form an xpath would be difficult.
however it should look something like this
//*[contains(text(),'useren#lim.mobi ')]/../td[2]
for following table, if I have to find the corrosponding contact for some company, This is how I would do it.
https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp
//*[contains(text(),'Magazzini Alimentari Riuniti')]/../td[2]
Please try with the following xpath:
//tr[./td[contains(text(),'useren#lim.mobi')]/td[2]/input
if above xpath is not working please attach html code screenshot so i can tell you the extact xpath.
This might help to solve your issue:
//td[#title="useren#lim.mobi"]/following::input[#type="checkbox"]
If you get NoSuchElementException with this XPath you might need to add ExplicitWait as below:
WebElementWait wait = new WebElementWait(getWebDriver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//td[#title='useren#lim.mobi']/following::input[#type='checkbox']")));
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 need to find an input element with an 'empty' value by xpath.
Something like //input[#value='empty']. I don't mean the word 'empty', but the value is empty or blank.
What Xpath will return such element?
Thanks
Since the link I posted in the comment is a potential solution
So, I thought to post it as an answer:
How do I select an empty element in XPath?
Edit:
Based on advice from the comment to duplicate the essential parts of the linked answer (incase the link becomes obsolete), please find it below:
You could use XPath's not() function.
a[#href='#'][#class='button save-as'][#title='SaveAs...'][not(text())]
Next time post html snippet so that people will understand parent and target element
the below code will work, but if more input fields with null values are there then more than one result will be returned. [i am sure below xpath will return many results]
so please include parent node in below xpath
//input['not(text())']
the input belongs to text area, submit button, radio button , check box ....
again, post the HTML snippet next time. when you ask question related to xpath.
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.
