I am using a text box :
Expression inside it holds value:
<b>Name1</b><br>
Description 1..Hi this is 1 <br>
<b>Name2</b><br>
Description 2...Hi from <email.com> <br>
I am using option : HTML-Interpret HTML tags as styles as I need formatting.
I am unable to get "email.com" as it is in <> tags.
But I need to display the email in <> tags. I am unable to separate the content in different boxes, because it is dynamically generated. It can have any Name1 Description1....Name(n) Description(n) based on users input
Any suggestion How I can deal with this?

I have to look at an application which I can't use the normal selectors (like "id", "name", etc - this is a design flaw) but I do have a custom tag which has been applied to elements on the page:
test-tag='x'
and this is fine, I can interact with this using (simple script)
var tag = '[test-tag="x"]';
var selector = $(tag);
However, I have now found that some elements (notably textboxes) have a title and a box element - both have the same custom tag applied. Now the text box is an input type. Anyone know how I can change the above to target specifially input types?
try this:
'input[test-tag="x"]'
for the input box

I have a text in a paragraph tag
<p class="lead ng-binding"> Showing all 50 toys available at Delhi store </p>
I used //*[normalize-space(text()) = 'Showing all 50 toys available at Delhi store'
and it located successfully, but what I need is the 50 and store name can be anything. So I need something which I can use to represent anything while locating this element. Any help is deeply appreciated. Thank you!
You can try below code to extract "50" from paragraph:
xpath = "//p[starts-with(normalize-space(text()), 'Showing all') and contains(normalize-space(text()), 'toys available at')]"
paragraph = driver.find_element_by_xpath(xpath)
value = paragraph.text.split("Showing all ")[-1].split()[0]
print(value) # "50"
XPath should allow you to fetch paragraph that starts-with "Showing all..." subsrtring and also contains "...toys available at..." substring, so you don't have to specify number and store name in XPath
P.S. As you didn't specify the programming language you use I provided example of solution in Python. Add appropriate tag if you want solution in specific language
I am trying to automate Salesforce lightning using Selenium, but getting issues with identifying elements. Reason, its having dynamic IDs , and other attributes are either very long , or they are not unique.
For eg ,
<a id="170:1968;a" class="textUnderline outputLookupLink slds-truncate forceOutputLookup"
data-refid="recordId"
data-recordid="0059E000001aOCSQA2"
data-special-link="true"
href="#/sObject/0059E000001aOCSQA2/view"
target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"
title="" data-aura-rendered-by="170:1968;a" data-aura-class="forceOutputLookup"/>
In above code , ID is dynamic , Class is not unique, and all the Lookup elements are associated with it. Also the absolute path is not much trusted , and hence I am trying to find any concrete option to handle these elements. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Here, you could try using the contains method if at least a part of the id attribute value is static.
From your code, you could try
//a[contains(#id,"a")]/ //--extended xpath--
From the given html code, the 'a' in the id attribute of the a tag looks static, while the rest changes.
You can ask the developers to provide an id to the lightning component using aura:id
Then the dynamic id won't be generated.
You can try with field labels and fetch its parent node(s), and then fetching childs or brother nodes to locate related texts/text boxes etc.
Eg. You are in Account Edit/New page, and you want to fill in a value to the text box for Account Name field. So you can firstly try with //*[text()='Account Name']/parent::* to find an element that covers BOTH the field label and the text box.
And then you can check if the text box is a 'brother' or a 'child'. If it's a 'child' then try with //*[text()='Account Name']/parent::*(/parent::*)//*[attributes for the text box];
If it's 'brothers' then try with //*[text()='Account Name']/parent::*(/parent::*)/following-sibling::*[attributes for the text box]
You can use this logic to locate all type of fields in all standard lightning pages.
I am trying to select a specific item in a page which is at the bottom of the page. I want to verify that element is present and the same time I want to focus to that specific item.
How can I do this in the Selenium IDE?
I tried storeEval, but its specific co-ordinated which I don't want. I am looking for some dynamic command. I tried using css:.groupTile:contains("Concentrated") but the focus is not going to that particular item (Concentrated).
Can someone help me with Command, Target and value please?
CSS Selectors have many formats
i) Using id. Put this in Target: css=tag#id
tag = the HTML tag of the element being accessed,
id = the ID of the element being accessed
ii) Using class. Put this in Target: css=tag.class
tag = the HTML tag of the element being accessed,
class = the class of the element being accessed
In value you enter name of the item.
I have a dojo editor on a jsp page. The dojo editor is one of the required fields and i have a validation in place for it. There is a scenario in which some tags are getting appended. I cannot find a particular pattern when it gets appended but most of the times it occurs after one selects and copies all the content and pastes on the editor. So the editor content in this case was
<div id="dijitEditorBody">content which user entered</div>
Issue: When the user deletes all content which was entered the tags are still there and get submitted. In this case atleast visually editor has no content but the field holds the following value:
<div id="dijitEditorBody"></div>
or
<div id="dijitEditorBody"><br /></div>
So it skips validation and displays an empty editor when data is retrieved from DB?
I am confused about why these tags are getting appended?
In RichText.js, this snippet :
if(dojo.isIE || dojo.isWebKit || (!this.height && !dojo.isMoz)){
// In auto-expand mode, need a wrapper div for AlwaysShowToolbar plugin to correctly
// expand/contract the editor as the content changes.
html = "<div id='dijitEditorBody'></div>";
setBodyId = false;
}else if(dojo.isMoz){
// workaround bug where can't select then delete text (until user types something
// into the editor)... and/or issue where typing doesn't erase selected text
this._cursorToStart = true;
html = " ";
}
Explains the reason why that tag is added...
Although you see it in your alertbox, I believe it's not present in the posted contents... right ?
The editor should take care of removing the extra-tags => not tested but pretty sure...
