I'm trying to verify is a checkbox is checked or not and trying to build a robust xpath. I need to figure out how to transverse from 'Password Never Expires' text to img scr with attribute title?
You first need to select the td that has the text 'Password Never Expires', this is quite straightforward:
//td[text()='Password Never Expires']
When you have this element you can use the Axis [following-sibling][1] to get the following td node:
following-sibling::td
Now you have the node that contains the img node, all you have to do now is to get the #src attribute of this node:
img[#title='Checked']/#src
Putting all the above together will give you:
//td[text()='Password Never Expires']/following-sibling::td/img[#title='Checked']/#src
Hope this helps.
You can use this Xpath :
//td[contains(#class,'Never Expires')]/parent::td//following-sibling::td[#class='dataCol']/img
try out ! and let me know if it works for you or not.

I've an element with html -
<h3>App-1 Playground Login</h3>
I want to identify it with entire text - App-1 Playground Login, but causing issues to identify it. Please help how this element can be identified.
Please use the below xpath. I have already tested that and it is working fine. In the second argument of the translate method you need to type "ALT+0160" and in the third argument you will have to put just a normal space.
//h3[contains(translate(text(),' ',' ' ), 'App-1 Playground Login')]
One of the way to select your title could be :
//h3[text()= concat('App-1 Playground',codepoints-to-string(160),'Login')]
Works fine on http://xpather.com/
I am locating a textbox element inside shadow DOM using script(), and it works properly. Once I find the element, I want to enter a string into that box. I am trying to use input(), but since input() takes a locator and a value I am having issues using script() as a locator. Is this possible? I would appreciate any ideas or feedback on how to make this work.
Just use JavaScript (element.value) itself, it should be the simplest way:
* script('.parent', "_.shadowRoot.querySelector('input').value = 'somevalue'")
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')]")
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:
