How to get complete text inside page-footer from div - selenium

How to get complete text inside page-footer in the below case.
<div class="page-footer">
<span >Environment: </span>
<span > test</span>
<span >Version: </span>
<span > 0.1.56</span>
</div>

You can use this CSS_SELECTOR :
div.page-footer span
this will select all the span which are inside the div with class page-footer.
In case, you are using JAVA as a binding language :
String allText = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div.page-footer span")).getText();
Hope this helps.

You can use the below method to extract all the visible text
In Java,
getText() method will return the visible text of an element (i.e. not hidden by CSS)
string footerText=driver.findElement(By.className("page-footer")).getText();
In C#,
var footerText=_driver.FindElement(By.ClassName("page-footer")).Text;

Unable to get text() node before a specific span using xpath

I'm trying to find the immediate preceding text of an element.
Below is the sample HTML code that I'm working on.
<span class= "platform">
::before
<br>
name
<br>
age
<span class = "highlight">
::before
"Negine"
</span>
</span>
Came up with an XPath:
//span[#class='platform']/text()[following-sibling::span[position() = 1]]
But the XPath is returning both text nodes where as it should return only 'age'.
Have written this text using your provided HTML in the comment section.
Try using this xpath - //span[#class="platform"]/text()[3]

Selector to extract element value of type different tagName

There is String on my web page which looks as "#Account9 Hey Dude". #Account9 is a link, 'Hey Dude' is span. Please help me to create Selector to extract this "#Account9 Hey Dude".
note: Can find something like selenium "normalize-space" method.
#Account9
Hey Dude
To create a selector that extracts the inner text of the provided markup:
<div class=“XYZ123>
<span class="r-18u37iz">
<a href="/Account9" dir="ltr" role="link" data-focusable="true" class=“ABC123”>#Account9 </a>
</span>
</div>
<span class=“ABCxyz123”> :Hey Dude</span
you need to find the first parent of these elements (div class=“XYZ123 and span class=“ABCxyz123”) , specify CSS selector for it and call innerText property.
const targetText = await Selector('<parent_of_these_elements>').innerText;

trouble making in xpath for "ul" html code in selenium webdriver

HTML code:
<div id="routingPanel" class="">
<div id="routingPanelRight">
<ul id="routingList" class="ui-sortable">
<li class="ui-menu-item ui-draggable" style="display: list-item;" role="presentation" data-type="srl" data-id="15">
<a class="ui-corner-all" tabindex="-1">AS-HTTS-US-LAN-SW</a>
<span class="fa fa-trash"/>
<span class="type">[srl]</span>
</li>
<li class="ui-menu-item ui-draggable" style="display: list-item;" role="presentation" data-type="queue" data-id="119">
<a class="ui-corner-all" tabindex="-1">AS-EMEA-NORTH</a>
<span class="fa fa-trash"/>
<span class="type">[queue]</span>
</li></ul></div></div>
I need to click on a button which is having the span class"fa fa-trash" but it is inside li class. And i have list on buttons on the page with li class changing.
I am giving testdata from excel file so i can't use the direct value.
i tried to use this xpath
.//*[#id='routingList']/li[5]/span[1] //testdata1
.//*[#id='routingList']/li[2]/span[1] //testdata2
where li value changes everytime from excel file.
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 15);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated((By.xpath("//ul[#id='routingList']/li/span[1]")))).click();
List<WebElement> options = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//ul[#id='routingList']/li/span[1]"));
for (WebElement option : options) {
if(testData.equals(option.getText()))
option.click();
Tried above code but it is deleting only one from the list ,where i have passed two more testdata that needs to be deleted.
Need suggestions Please
According to the information you gave me in comments, I think the problem is that you are trying to get a text from an element that doesn't contain text.
Let's say your testData is AS-HTTS-US-LAN-SW. In the HTML you provided and the xpath you mentioned, you are selecting an autoclosing tag <span class="fa fa-trash"/>. Once this tag is selected, you are trying to get the text inside of it, and there is none.
<ul id="routingList" class="ui-sortable">
<li class="ui-menu-item ui-draggable" style="display: list-item;" role="presentation" data-type="srl" data-id="15">
===========================
<a class="ui-corner-all" tabindex="-1">AS-HTTS-US-LAN-SW</a> ----> The text is contained here
<span class="fa fa-trash"/> ---> No text in that tag
===========================
<span class="type">[srl]</span>
</li>
</ul>
So, basically, you have to modify a little bit your xpath from : //ul[#id='routingList']/li/span[1] to : //ul[#id='routingList']/li/a to get the text, and then go back to the parent node to find your button with : ../span[contains(#class, 'fa fa-trash')]
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 15);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated((By.xpath("//ul[#id='routingList']/li/span[1]")))) // removed the click here because you were clicking on the first element of the list
List<WebElement> options = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//ul[#id='routingList']/li/a"));
for (WebElement option : options) {
if(testData.equals(option.getText()))
option.findElement(By.xpath("../span[contains(#class, 'fa fa-trash')]")).click();
Tell me if it helped
I know you already accepted an answer but there's a more efficient way to do this. You can specify the text you are looking for as part of the XPath. So, you do a single search instead of looping through all the options which can be a performance hit if there are many options. Also, with something like this you are likely to use it more than once so put it in a function.
In this case, the function would take in the string you are looking for and then click the appropriate element.
public void selectRegion(String regionName)
{
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[.='" + regionName + "']/following-sibling::span[#class='fa fa-trash']")).click();
}
and you would call it like
selectRegion(testData);
The function looks for an A tag that contains the desired text and then clicks the sibling SPAN with class fa fa-trash.

No such element Exception. class name with double__

I am trying to get the text under the tag. That is Arduus, Gstaad, Switzerland. I tried with the classname and also with xpath.
driver.findElement(By.className("chalet-details__title"));
String chaletTitle = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div/h1[#class='chalet-details_title']")).getText();
But its giving NoSuchElementException. The classname has double underscore(__) .Is it because of that not working? Can anyone help me with this?
<div class="col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12">
<h1 class="chalet-details__title">
<span class="chalet-details__title-property">Arduus</span>,
<a class="chalet-details__title-resort" href="/ski- resorts/switzerland/gstaad">Gstaad</a>,
<a class="chalet-details__title-country" href="/ski- resorts/switzerland">Switzerland</a>
</h1>
<div class="chalet-details__rating">
<div class="chalet-details__wrapper">
<span class="chalet-details__star" style="width: 108px;"></span>
<span class="chalet-details__mask"></span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
You can try something like:
driver.findElement(by.cssSelector("h1.chalet-details__title"))
I just tried this and it worked fine with the provided html, if this still fails for you, can you verify that there aren't any iframes on the page.
Both your locators are OK, but you might need to wait for your element to be present in DOM:
WebDriverWait wait= new WebDriverWait(driver,20 );
String chaletTitle = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.className("chalet-details__title"))).getText();
Another reason for NoSuchElementException: your element could be located inside an iframe, so you need to switch to that frame before handling target element:
driver.switchTo().frame("iframeNameOrId");
If it has no attributes as id or name:
WebElement someFrame = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//iframe[#someAttr='someValue']"));
driver.switchTo().frame(someFrame);
To get all the text under h1 tag find all elements using locator as follows:
List<WebElement> items = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector("h1.chalet-details__title > *")); //it will find all elements immediately under the h1 tag
Now, iterate over the elements.
Complete code:
List<WebElement> items = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector("h1.chalet-details__title > *"));
for(WebElement item : items){
System.out.println(item.getText());
}

Using selenium, how to select a the text in a paragraph which is nested in a div element?

Sample code:
<div class="loginbox">some code</div>
<div class="loginbox">other code</div>
<div class="loginbox">
<p> style="color: Red;">Test Extract</p>
</div>
Using Selenium Web Driver, I would like to extract the text Test Extract within the paragraph element which is nested within a div, whose class name is shared with other div classes. c# preferred.
You can try below method:
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='loginbox']/p")).getText();
EDITED
You should use = inside the square braces like:
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='loginbox']/p");
C# code to get the text from the locator specified,
IWebElement element = Browser.GetElementByCssSelector("div.loginbox p");
string text = element.Text;
