I'm new to Selenium and ScalaTest, but I'm having issues finding Selenium+ScalaTest's counterpart to .getText()
For example, when I use selenium-java, I can retrieve text "Cat" by:
driver.findElement(By.id("firstHeading")).getText()
from:
<h1 id="firstHeading" class="firstHeading" lang="en">Cat</h1>
However, I can't figure out how to do this with ScalaTest, and my googling skills have failed me. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
I've figured out one working solution:
id("firstHeading").element.text should be ("Cat")
This lets me extract the text from an element by the id "firstHeading". Please let me know if there is a better/more acceptable approach. Thanks!

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.
Please find screenshot
Xpath Expressions are :
1.xpath
//td[.//span='Large' and .//span='Angelfish']
2.Xpath
//td[.//span='EST-1']
Above two xpaths, i want to merge it into single xpath. I tried the below
//td[.//span='EST-1' and .//span='Large' and .//span='Angelfish']
but no luck. Any help is appreciated...
I think you are talking about the JPetStore site Angelfish table, you can try the below Xpaths :
//td[span[text()='Large'] and span[text()='Angelfish']]/preceding::td/a[text()='EST-1']
or
//td[span[text()='Small'] and span[text()='Angelfish']]/preceding::td/a[text()='EST-2']
But I'm not sure what value you need from that because your question is not clear and the given information also not enough.
This is what I have
1000000 Venelin-PPxo-P24-FAID-EUR
want to write an XPath for the a based on its contained text. I tried the below but it does not work
xpath=(//a[contains(text(),'-PPxo-P24-FA')])[2]
However, if I try with the below, it works
xpath=(//a[contains(text(),'-PPxo-P24-FAI')])[2]
I am using Selenium IDE 2.9.1 if that makes any contribution to my question.
Hi it seems your Xpath is incorrect
can you try following:
xpath = ("//a[contains(text(),'-PPxo-P24-FA')][2]")
Thank you for all of the answers, guys!
However, I found the solution. It looks like the website contains the text some more times than I need it to. The working code is:
xpath=(//a[contains(text(),'-P24-')])[6]
I have a celltable , where i have multiple rows and is a dynamic table,
Screenshot attached ..
What i want is to find the row where column contains useren#lim.mobi
and then click its checkBox.
I am trying with xpath but not much experience here , If i can get some help please
Thanks
Here is the html code of the specific cell
I don't know the exact html of your table to form an xpath would be difficult.
however it should look something like this
//*[contains(text(),'useren#lim.mobi ')]/../td[2]
for following table, if I have to find the corrosponding contact for some company, This is how I would do it.
https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp
//*[contains(text(),'Magazzini Alimentari Riuniti')]/../td[2]
Please try with the following xpath:
//tr[./td[contains(text(),'useren#lim.mobi')]/td[2]/input
if above xpath is not working please attach html code screenshot so i can tell you the extact xpath.
This might help to solve your issue:
//td[#title="useren#lim.mobi"]/following::input[#type="checkbox"]
If you get NoSuchElementException with this XPath you might need to add ExplicitWait as below:
WebElementWait wait = new WebElementWait(getWebDriver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//td[#title='useren#lim.mobi']/following::input[#type='checkbox']")));
I need to click on the below href element,which is present among similar href elements.
<a id="oldcontent" href="listDetails.do?camp=1865"><u>Re-Call</u></a>
Can anyone provide me xpath to click the above href link?
Try below locator.
selenium.click("css=a[href*='listDetails.do'][id='oldcontent']");
or
selenium.click("xpath=//a[contains(#href,'listDetails.do') and #id='oldcontent']");
This works properly try this code-
selenium.click("xpath=//a[contains(#href,'listDetails.do') and #id='oldcontent']");
This will get you the generic link:
selenium.FindElement(By.XPath("xpath=//a[contains(#href,'listDetails.do')")).Click();
If you want to have it specify a parameter then you will have to test for each one:
...
int i = 1;
selenium.FindElement(By.XPath("xpath=//a[contains(#href,'listDetails.do?camp=" + i.ToString() + "')")).Click();
...
The above could utilize a for loop which navigates to and from each camp numbers' page, which could verify a static list of camps.
Please excuse if the code is not perfect, I have not tested myself.
have you tried:
//a[#id='oldcontent']/u[text()='Re-Call']
for me worked //a[text()='Re-Call']
what worked for me:
//a[contains(#href,'logout')]
Below works fine.
//a[#id='oldcontent']
If you've tried certain ones and they haven't worked, then let us know, otherwise something simple like this should work.
Best way to locate anchor elements is to use link=Re-Call:
selenium.click("link=Re-Call");
It will work..
