Can anyone help me? i tried using Firepath for a correct Xpath however the code it gives me is incorrect in my eyes. First line in the examples, is the provided one.
.//*[#id='content']/div/div/div[1]/h2/span
<div id="content" class="article">
<h1>News</h1>
<div>
<div>
<div class="summary">
<h2>
<span>9</span>
// this should be the correct xpath i think
_driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*div[#id='content']/div/span.getText()"));
Here i want check if the text in between is greater or equal to 1
and the other is:
.//*[#id='content']/div/div/div[3]
<div id="content" class="article">
<h1>News</h1>
<div>
<div>
<div class="summary">
<div class="form fancy">
<div class="common results">
Here i want to check if the div class common results has been made, 1 item equals 1 common results
For retrieving span text you can use this
String spanText=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#id='content']/div/div/div/h2/span")).getText();
System.out.println(spanText);
From the second question I am not so much clear.You can get class name like this, Please explain me if its not your solution
String className=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='content']/div/div/div/div/div")).getAttribute("class");
System.out.println(className);
I would suggest you making usage of:
//div[#id='content']/div/div/div/h2/span/text()
Note: the html code you shared was not well formed. I would suggest you to test in advance the code and the xpath with http://www.xpathtester.com/xpath (to fix the code) and http://codebeautify.org/Xpath-Tester (to test your xpath)

<div class="block wbc">
<span></span>
<span> text_value </span>
</div>
for getting text in second span where does below code go wrong?
driver.find_element(X_PATH,"*//div[#class='block']/span[1]")
For trying by yourself, maybe I write sth wrong here is link

And my code; still giving an error
playbackTimeline__duration =driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"*//div[#class='playbackTimeline__duration']/span[2]")
For finding web element clearly:
//*[#id="app"]/div[4]/section/div/div[3]/div[3]/div/div[3]/span[2]
But I will not use this way, I need declare with class method or CSS Selector at least
If you are sure that you always need the second span use this XPath:
*//div[#class='playbackTimeline__duration']/span[2]
If you need the first span that has actual text use this:
*//div[#class='playbackTimeline__duration']/span[normalize-space()][1]
If the #class has more than only playbackTimeline__duration in it you can use:
*//div[contains(#class,'playbackTimeline__duration')]/span[2]
If there are more div's like that use:
*//div[contains(#class,'playbackTimeline__duration')][1]/span[2]
I've used many locator combinations but still, I'm getting element not found error. Here's the element
<div id="mailmillieu">
<div>
<div style="padding:8px"></div>
</div>
<div>
Hi, here is your otp : 216570
</div>
</div>
I just want to extract the otp, that's all. Any help is much appreciated.
You can use #mailmillieu > div:nth-child(2) css locator and then use getText() on it.
On the string you get you can then extract out numbers to get the OTP value.
I have the opposite problem described here. I can't get the text more than one layer deep.
HTML is structured in the following manner:
<span class="data">
<p>This text is extracted just fine.</p>
<p>And so is this.</p>
<p>
And this.
<div>
<p>But this text is not extracted.</p>
</div>
</p>
<div>
<p>And neither is this.</p>
</div>
</span>
My Python code looks something like this:
el.find_element_by_xpath(".//span[contains(#class, 'data')]").text
Try the same with child elements:
print(el.find_element_by_xpath(".//span[contains(#class, 'data')]").text)
print(el.find_element_by_xpath(".//span[contains(#class, 'data')]/div").text)
print(el.find_element_by_xpath(".//span[contains(#class, 'data')]/p").text)
Not sure what's the referred el in your original post. But able to get all the text using the below.
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[#class='data']").text
Output:
'This text is extracted just fine.\nAnd so is this.\nAnd this.\nBut this text is not extracted.\nAnd neither is this.'
Instead of relying on WebElement.text property consider querying innerText property
Consider using Explicit Wait as it will make your test more robust and reliable in case if the element you're looking for is loaded by i.e. AJAX call
Assuming all above:
print(WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//span[#class='data']"))).get_attribute("innerText"))
Demo:
I am trying to use xpath to find a specific text from a page. Selenium can not find this exact text.
Here is the code I am trying with:
searchresult = self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[contains(text(), 'Sorry, we could not find the book you were looking for.')]")
Here is the HTML I am working on:
<div style="width:100%;padding: 20px;">
<div class="searchbox">
</div>
<div class="vert-spacing-15"></div>
Sorry, we could not find the book you were looking for. Please try
searching for something else.
</div>
Try it like:
//*[contains(., 'Sorry, we could not find the book you were looking for.')]
Why? Because text() will only match the text before the first child element.
I would like to use an absolute xpath to fill in a search bar. The ids and classes are dynamically generated and there is no name variable or instance. So it feels like I'm stuck without a tool to fill in boxes without the named variable.
Is there a way around this? Can I somehow change the absolute xpath to look like its a name assignment and then query and fill based on the new 'type' I assigned the absolute xpath?
Is there a method for this in Selenium if not available in Splinter?
I've select by CSS and I'm finding this error 'selenium.common.exceptions.InvalidElementStateException: Message: Element is not currently interactable and may not be manipulated'
Edit:
<div class="type-ahead-input-container" role="search">

As you have asked Is there a method for this in Selenium, the Answer is Yes.
Selenium supports Sikuli. Sikuli automates anything you see on the screen. It uses image recognition to identify and control GUI components. It is useful when there is no easy access to a GUI's internal or source code.
You can find more about Sikuli here.
Let me know if this answers your question.
When you get an error-message like that, it could be that your search result is not what you expected. It could be that you are getting more than one result, ie a list. On a list you can not input.
You can find the input boxes with an xpath, select the prefered one from the list (by trying) and put a text in it with the WebDriverElement _set_value method. That is not appropriate because of the _, but it is usefull.
input_list = browser.find_by_xpath('//div[#class="type-ahead-input"]/input[#class="ember-textfield ember-view"]')
input_list[1]._set_value('just a text to see whether it is working')
