I have a field that has a "+" Add button in case you want to add more lines. I want to add 2-3 lines with it, then to click on the "+" button from a newly created line to create 2-3 more. The problem is that all buttons are declared the same:
<button class="ng-scope" ng-if="formData.order_request_status == STATUSES['OPEN']" ng-click="addImportMaterial()" style="margin-left: 3px;" type="button">+</button>
I have written the following xpath:
//button[#ng-click='addImportMaterial()']
but this selects all plus buttons and I want only the third one to be pressed. Any ideas? Thanks!
You should try using xpath with index then as below :-
I want only the third one to be pressed
(//button[#ng-click='addImportMaterial()'])[3]
So, (Assuming your using java) use above xpath to locate third button and click as :-
driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//button[#ng-click='addImportMaterial()'])[3]")).click()
Since you will be getting a List of buttons, to press the third one you just have to do buttons.get(2).click();

i'm struggling with this one, i need to hide a button, i mean a command button based on the value of a column.
i grab the following example from kendo pages, i would like to show/hide the button "View Details" based on the "Discontinued" value.
i've already tested with :visible or :hide properties without success.
https://stackblitz.com/edit/e1fre3
does someone know how to get this working?
The command option is expecting string or array so this is an updated stackblitz example that worked at my side - https://stackblitz.com/edit/e1fre3-wnzfer?file=index.html
I have a problem in scanning a drop-down menu which disappears upon opening the xScan. I need to get the module id of the dropdown menu to verify some test steps.
Do you have any solution with this if it is not really possible to get the module id of the dropdown menu?
Open developer tools in your browser of choice (F12), navigate to the console and input the following code:
var fulldoc='';
var scrollX=0;
var scrollY=0;
document.addEventListener("keydown",function(event){
if(event.key=='q' && event.altKey){
fulldoc=document.body.outerHTML;
scrollY=window.pageYOffset;
scrollX=window.pageXOffset;
}
if(event.key=='w' && event.altKey){
document.body.outerHTML=fulldoc;
document.body.scrollTo(scrollX,scrollY);
}
});
When the window looks the way you would want to scan, press 'Alt + Q', then press 'Alt + W'.
Now your window will freeze and then you can scan your page.
To steer the objects you need to refresh your browser.
You can resolve the issue with below 2 steps
1 - Add some text in textbox which will populate the dropdown below it .
2 - Use Send Keys Module to scroll down and select the value.
I had a similar issue where we had a popup that only appeared when clicking on a text box. The solution we received from the Tricentis trainer was as follows:
Part One
1. Open your application in Chrome
2. Right click the inspect
3. In the inspector window, on the Elements tab, navigate to your html element where it should be (you can do that by clicking on the element and check that you can see the html in the element)
4. Use the debugger to add a break point there, this should pause it and you should be able to see the elements you need to steer it.
5. Once you found the element, you will need the type of element (e.g. div, span, etc), and the class name
Part two
1. Rescan your module and select any element that matches the criteria of your element selected in Part One #5
2. Identify it by only it's class name property and tag
3. Save and close
4. Edit the element in the module view by changing the class name. This should help you steer it
Note: if the element class name is not unique, you might need to use Explicit name.
Good luck
I am using the Robot Framework and Selenium2Library
The button has a text of "Save" and there is nothing more unique in it's xpath, so I'm trying to write an xpath based on element's text.
How to write an xpath based on element's text with that piece of html:
<button class="slds-button slds-button--brand cuf-publisherShareButton NARROW uiButton" type="button" data-aura-rendered-by="1571:2954;a" data-aura-class="uiButton">
<span class=" label bBody truncate" dir="ltr" data-aura-rendered-by="1574:2954;a">Save</span>
</button>
(this is in the middle of the document).
EDIT:
It appears that there are few elements with the same text on the next tab (which was invisible at the moment).
How should I write the xpath for the second element with this text? I mean with index=1.
Click Button //button[.//text() = 'Save']
Is the "Robot Framework" way of finding a button with the text "Save" and clicking it.
Fixed from the help of #Tomalak

Try searching for a button which contains a span with your required text
WebElement saveButton = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//button/span[text()='Save']")
Use following xpath to find a button which have text as save -
//button[contains(.,'Save')]
Use following keyword, which will first verify whether element is present or not and then it will click on element located by locator
Element should become visible xpath=//button/span[text()='Save']
Click Button xpath=//button/span[text()='Save']
There is another built in keyword
Click Element xpath=//button/span[text()='Save']
Try using below xpath:
xpath=//span[contains(text(),'Save')]
Try this -
//span[text()='Save']/ancestor-or-self::button
I have an html table wich contain multiple lines.
At the end of each line, the last row contain multiple button. I would like to click on the remove button of the first line.
I tried this Xpath code but the element in not located :
There is a mistake somewhere in my xpath query :
//table[#id='tableTest']/tbody/tr[8]/td[8]/a[#class="remove"]
Your query looks pretty OK, but there is no HTML code so we can just guess what happen. What about the number 8?
Try to use XPath axes. For example locator could look like this:
//table[#id='tableTest']/tbody/tr[1]/descendant::a[#class="remove"]
This should find the remove button in the 1st row whenewer it is.
Click the button of the first line... which I think you mean first row?
//table[#id='tableTest']/tbody/tr//a[#class="remove"]
That SHOULD find the first tr (row) of your table and select the href with the class remove. But it's not going to ensure it's the last cell, which if that's vital you'll need to use something like //table[#id='tableTest']/tbody/tr/td[last()]/a[#class="remove"]
Also, if you attach the html snippet this becomes much easier for many of us to answer.
I want to click a button that contains "Add" as text.
ie:
driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//a[contains(text(),'Add')])").click()
however it's not practical to do this:
driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//a[contains(text(),'Add')])[1]").click()
It would be fine, except the page has a button with text "Add User", and it clicks that instead. Is there a way to only click it if it is EXACTLY "Add" and not just contains "Add"?
You can also try :
driver.find_element_by_link_text("Add").click()
link text will match links who's text equals Add and it doesn't match text which contains Add as part of it.
This should work for you:
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[text()='Add']").click()
You should change your xpath to require an exact match instead of a partial match.
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[text()='Add']").click()
Using text()= requires the text on the button to be equal to 'Add' and will not find other buttons that happen to contain the text 'Add'
