</div>
This is part of page, on which I will have to click on Save button.
Button is not unique and I need to find it throu class attribute from first div (slds-show), or
Can somebody tell me, why this xpath is not finding this element?
//button[parent::div[#class='slds-show'][#class='slds-button slds-button--brand slds-m-left--small']]
I've also try with ancestor, text instead of class and results is the same. Element is not found via Firefox console
To click on Save button once finding it through class attribute from first div (slds-show) you can use a much simpler and effective xpath as follows :
//div[#class='slds-show']/button[#class='slds-button slds-button--brand slds-m-left--small']
Note : The class attribute slds-button--brand is unique for the Save button.
Try to update your expression as below:
//button[parent::div[#class='slds-show'] and #class='slds-button slds-button--brand slds-m-left--small']
Note that predicate [#class='slds-button slds-button--brand slds-m-left--small'] in your XPath intend to test #class value of parent div, but not target button
You can try the following xpaths.
//*[#class="slds-show"]/button[text()="Save"]
or
//*[class="slds-show"]/button[#class="slds-button slds-button--brand slds-m-left--small"]
An xpath can easily get too complex, you can also try something like this:
//button[text()='Cancel']
//button[text()='Save & New']
//button[text()='Save']
These will return the exact buttons you need. If you're looking for a specific ancestor, include it in your xpath:
//div[#class="slds-show"]//button[text()='Save & New']

I am trying to learn how to print by tag. Cannot use find element by xpath or class. If there are 4 "div" tags, how do I print the contents of a specific one?
Desired Output:
vjs-poster
Attempt 1:
divs = driver.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, "div")
print(divs[0])
Attempt 2:
divs = driver.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, "div")
print(divs[0].get_attribute('class'))
HTML: (The third line says "vjs-poster" this is what I want to print.)
<video id="video_html5_api" class="vjs-tech" onclick="streaming();" src="/video/stream?cntId=21671&quality=sd"></video>
<div></div>
<div class="vjs-poster" tabindex="-1" style="background-image: url("https://[REDACTED].com/images/V15064/720X480/720x480/nt/4.jpg");"></div>
<div class="vjs-text-track-display vjs-hidden" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true"></div>
<div class="vjs-loading-spinner" dir="ltr"></div>
To print the value of the class attribute vjs-poster of the second <div> you can use:
print(driver.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, "div")[1].get_attribute('class'))
You can also use a css_selector as:
print(driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "video.vjs-tech#video_html5_api +div +div").get_attribute('class'))
You can try locating that element based on it class name and style or any one of them if the locator will still be unique.
You try this:
class_val = driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, "//div[contains(#style,'https://[REDACTED].com/images')").get_attribute('class')
print(class_val)
Looking for a generic way to find text before an input field to know what to fill in the field. Using xpath, css selector or any other way possible.
<div>
<span>Full Name</span>
<input name="xddadN">
</div>
<div>
<span>Email</span>
<input name="xedadN">
</div>
Or
<div>
<div><label>Full Name</label></div>
<div><input name="xddadN"></div>
<div><label>Email</label></div>
<div><input name="xedadN"></
</div>
Or
<div>
<label>Full Name<br>
<span><input name="xddadN"></span>
</label>
</div>
<div>
<label>Full Name<br>
<span><input name="xddadN"></span>
</label>
</div>
You can try below XPath expression to get preceding text node:
//input/preceding::*[1]
or more specific for Full Name
//input[#name="xddadN"]/preceding::*[1]
and Email:
//input[#name="xedadN"]/preceding::*[1]
For full name use this Xpath : //input[#name='xddadN']/preceding-sibling::span
code :
String fullName = driver.findElement(By.Xpath(//input[#name='xddadN']/preceding-sibling::span)).getText();
String Email = driver.findElement(By.Xpath(//input[#name='xedadN']/preceding-sibling::span)).getText();
You haven't mentioned any Selenium Language Binding Art so I will be using Java for the example.
First the Answer
Yes, you can use a generic way to find text before an input field as follows :
As per the HTML :
<div>
<span>Full Name</span>
<input name="xddadN">
</div>
<div>
<span>Email</span>
<input name="xedadN">
</div>
To retrieve the text Full Name from the <span> tag with respect to the <input> tag you can use :
String myText = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[#name='xddadN']//preceding::*[1]")).getAttribute("innerHTML");
Now the Pitfall
Without any visibility to your usecase in my opinion the generic way would be a pitfall which will induce much chaos and uncertanity for the following reasons :
As per the xpath we are straightway jumping into the previous element, a small change in the HTML DOM (e.g. inclusion of a <span> tag) will make your Testcases to Fail.
In general, while constructing a Locator Strategy through css-selectors or xpath it will be benificial to include the <tagName> to optimize the element search process. If <tagName> are not included your Tests will require more time to locate the elements and perform action on them. In this process you are compromising some of the advantages of Test Automation.
Conclusion
Hence as a conclusion as per the Best Practices always include the <tagName> while constructing a Locator Strategy through css-selectors or xpath.
I tired a lot to get the xpath of the div which displays as "カーク商品掲載カタログ Online" on screen, but I'm not able to. The application is made using ZK framework hence it has random ID's.
<td z.type="Lic" id="z_mk_qr1" class="activeCatalogVersionTreeItem z-list-cell" z.zcls="z-list-cell" onmouseout="dragHoverClick( $e('z_mk_qr1'), event, true, null, 0);" onmouseover="dragHoverClick( $e('z_mk_qr1'), event, false, 'PerspectiveDND', 500);">
<div id="z_mk_qr1!cave" class="z-list-cell-cnt z-overflow-hidden">カーク商品掲載カタログ Online
<span id="z_mk_rr1" class="catalog-mnemonic-label z-label" z.zcls="z-label"> (STO-O)
</span>
</div>
</td>
I thought the xpath should be something like //div[contains(text(),'カーク商品掲載カタログ Online')], but it doesn't work.
Thanks!
Try the below cssSelector to identify the required element.
td.activeCatalogVersionTreeItem div.z-list-cell-cnt
You may use partial text match in this case as follows:
//div[contains(text(), 'Online')]

ID and Xpath is changing for "OK" button every time while saving(Account).
HTML Code:
<div class="modal-footer" style="display: block;">
<div class="bootstrap-dialog-footer">
<div class="bootstrap-dialog-footer-buttons">
<button id="fe02d6bd-6058-4871-b0e1-c1e914f64a6a" class="btn btn- default">Ok</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Xpath:.//*[#id='fe02d6bd-6058-4871-b0e1-c1e914f64a6a']
"ID"/XPath is not constant and it is varying while saving.
use the below code:
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div.bootstrap-dialog-footer-buttons>button.btn.btn-default"));
You can devise your own XPath locator to find the OK button by it's text content like so:
//button[.='Ok']
The first part of the XPath expression - //button - will select all <button> WebElements within the currently focused content.
The second part - [.='Ok'] - is a predicate that will filter out any WebElements whose exact text content is not equal to 'Ok'.
If it is the only OK button available on the page then you can probably use below code.
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(.,'Ok')]"));
Else you can take a reference of parent window and locate a button on it as below
WebElement modalWin = driver.findElement(By.id("modal-window-id"));
modalWin.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(.,'Ok')]"));
This below code helps to click OK button in any page.
just call this method with parameter saying OK
public void buttonClick(String buttonname){
WebElemennt button = driver.findelement(by.xpath("//button[text(),'Ok']"))
or
WebElemennt button = driver.findelement(by.cssselector(".btn btn- default"))
for(int i=0; i<button.size;i++)
{
if(button.get(i).gettext().equalIgnorecase(buttonname))
{
button.get(i).click
}
}
}
Let me know result..
I'll try to keep it simple.
I have a list of similar rows like this:
HTML code:
<li ...>
<div ... >
<some elements here>
</div>
<input id="121099" class="containerMultiSelect" type="checkbox" value="121099" name="NodeIds">
<a ...>
<div ... />
<div ... >
<h2>Identified Text</h2>
<h3>...</h3>
</div>
</a>
</li>
I want to click the checkbox with a certain text, but I can't use any of its elements, because they are the same for all the list, and id is generated automatically. The only thing can be differentiated is the h2 text. I tried :
browser.h2(:text => /Identified/).checkbox(:name => "NodeIds").set
and I got UnknownException which is obvious because checkbox is not nested with a tag.
What can I do in this case?
Thanks
The h2 and checkbox are related by the li, which is a common ancestor. Therefore, to find the checkbox, you can look for the li that contains the h2 element. I find the most readable approach to doing this is by using the find method of the element collection. The find method basically allows you to make custom locators.
The code would be:
parent_li = browser.lis.find do |li|
li.h2(:text => 'Identified Text').present?
end
parent_li.checkbox.set
Notes:
browser.lis creates a collection of all li elements.
find iterates through the lis and returns the first element that has the block evaluate as true - ie the first li where an h2 with the specified text is present.
First have a look at this explanation
http://jkotests.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/finding-a-parent-element-that-matches-a-specific-criteria/
Now following a similar approach,
First locate the element that has a unique identifier
parent=#browser.h2(:text=>"Identified Text")
Now we have to iterate over to the parent element which contains both the checkbox and text against it.
parent=parent.parent until parent.tag_name=="li"
Once the control is on the li element, simple click on the checkbox using.
parent.checkbox.click
