The HTML code is given attached, I do not want to use hard code xpath, the requirement is to make it generic:
<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<input name="hotel_name_0" id="hotel_name_0" type="text" value="Hotel Creek" class="select_text" onfocus="disable_ctrlV()" onkeypress="return Nothingonly(event)">
</td>
Code:
public static boolean fncVerifyTextInColumn(WebElement gridObjWebElement,
String stringToValidate, int columnNumber,String colName) {
boolean flagTextinColumn=false;
ArrayList<WebElement> objRows;
ArrayList<WebElement> objCols;
ArrayList<WebElement> childElement;
objRows=(ArrayList<WebElement>)gridObjWebElement.findElements(By.tagName("tr"));
objCols=(ArrayList<WebElement>)objRows.get(0).findElements(By.tagName("td"));
if(objCols.get(columnNumber).getText().equalsIgnoreCase(colName)){
for(int index=1;index<objRows.size();index++){
objCols=(ArrayList<WebElement>)objRows.get(index).findElements(By.tagName("td"));
childElement=(ArrayList<WebElement>)objCols.get(columnNumber).findElements(By.xpath("//input"));
System.out.println(childElement.get(0).getAttribute("value"));
if(stringToValidate.trim().equalsIgnoreCase(childElement.get(0).getAttribute("value").trim())){
flagTextinColumn=true;
}
}
}
return flagTextinColumn;
}
Method Calling:
fncVerifyTextInColumn(objGrid,hotels,1,"Hotel Name");
I would use cssSelector [id^='hotel_name_'] to locate the element and then getAttribute() retrieve the attribute value
By css = By.cssSelector("[id^='hotel_name_']");
WebElement myDynamicElement = (new WebDriverWait(driver, 10))
.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(css));
System.out.println(myDynamicElement.getAttribute("value"));
Notice the regex search of cssSelector here. With ^ I am skipping any dynamic number. Hoping that's the only element with hotel_name_someNumber on the page.
Just do
String attValue = driver.findElement(byAnyMethod).getAttribute("AttributeName");
Hope it helps
I think what you are looking for is this. (I'm assuming you know how to code, you just need a general direction so I'm going to leave out specific code.)
First, find the table the td is in. You might need to use an xPath for this or you'll need to assign an ID to the table so you can locate it.
Then once you have the table, do a FindElements to get the list of TRs under it.
Once you have the TRs, you can loop through them, grab the TDs under that and grab the TD at the index that has the INPUT you want the value of, get the INPUT and then get it's value.
Yep, lots of steps.
A shortcut may be to class all of the inputs you want the value for with a unique class and do a FindElements By className and loop through that list.

#FindAll(#FindBy(xpath = ".//input[contains(#name,'adv_xfer_fields')
and contains(#name,'::amounts')]"))
List <WebElement> amounts;
</i>
I have dynamic web-table in the input field, Ideally I need to pass value to this. But I'm not sure how to implement this?
public List<WebElement> getAllAmounts() {
return amounts;
}
Please help
As per your question, I don't see any error in your tried out code but definately we can be a bit structured more precise as follows :
#FindAll({#FindBy(xpath = ".//input[contains(#name,'adv_xfer_fields')]"),
#FindBy(xpath = ".//input[contains(#name,'::amounts')]")})
List <WebElement> amounts;
As per the documentation, FindAll is used to mark a field on a Page Object to indicate that lookup should use a series of #FindBy tags. It will then search for all elements that match any of the FindBy criteria though elements are not guaranteed to be in document order.
In Selenium Webdriver we have three Text boxes. All the text boxes have the same Id, and I want to send some text in the second text box.
This is my code:
Driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[#id='testInstanceScan']"));
Could anyone please help how to handle Text boxes which have same Id ?
Currently i m using below code which always send same text for all the three text boxes.
List<WebElement> textfield1 = Driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[#id='testInstanceScan']"));
for(int i=0; i<textfield1.size();i++){
WebElement local_textfield1=textfield1.get(i);
String value1=local_textfield1.getAttribute("placeholder");
if(value1.equalsIgnoreCase(""))
{
local_textfield1.sendKeys("Amarendra Singh");
}
}
There are two ways to get the second textbox.
Method 1: using find elements
List<WebElement> textfields = Driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[#id='testInstanceScan']"));
textfields.get(1).sendKeys("Amarendra Singh");
Method 2: using xpath
WebElement textfield2 = Driver.findElements(By.xpath("(//*[#id='testInstanceScan'])[2]"));
textfield2.sendKeys("Amarendra Singh");
You can use an array like trick to access each element matching the XPath
WebElement textField1 = driver.findElements(By.xpath("(//*[#id='testInstanceScan'])[1]"));
WebElement textField2 = driver.findElements(By.xpath("(//*[#id='testInstanceScan'])[2]"));
The quickest and easiest way I know to do this is to use an XPath to specify the expected ID and placeholder = "" and then specify the index of the element you want.
Given an HTML example of
<html>
<div id="testInstanceScan" placeholder="">e1</div>
<div id="testInstanceScan" placeholder="">e2</div>
<div id="testInstanceScan" placeholder="">e3</div>
</html>
The code below works
List<WebElement> searchBox = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[#id='testInstanceScan'][#placeholder='']"));
System.out.println(searchBox.get(1).getText());
and returns
e2
which is the element that contains the desired ID, empty placeholder attribute value, and is the second element. This form of XPath can be tailored to a lot of different situations to get the desired element in a single pass instead of looping or filtering the collection.
In your case, your final code would look like
List<WebElement> textfields = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//input[#id='testInstanceScan'][#placeholder='']"));
textfields.get(1).sendKeys("Amarendra Singh");
If that still doesn't work, you may need a wait.
By locator = By.xpath("//input[#id='testInstanceScan'][#placeholder='']");
List<WebElement> textfields = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfAllElementsLocatedBy(locator));
textfields.get(1).sendKeys("Amarendra Singh");
I don't know exactly what is yoyr question but what i understand you want to perform operation on textbox which have same xpaths
This is a sample Html which I used for example
<html>
<div id="test" placeholder="">element1</div>
<div id="test" placeholder="">element2</div>
<div id="test" placeholder="">element3</div>
<div id="test" placeholder="">element4</div>
</html>
First use findElements() to extract all elements and then use if loop to select one and perform operation This is my code
WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("URL");
List<WebElement> allElements=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[#id='test']"));
for (WebElement tempElement : allElements) {
if(tempElement.getText().equalsIgnoreCase("element2"))
{
System.out.println(tempElement.getText()); // you can perform your operations
}
}
I have a span as below:
<div class="ag-cell-label">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-asterisk" title="This is a draft row. It can only be seen by you. "/>
</div>
I want to get the text "glyphicon glyphicon-asterisk". How can I do it.
The validation of the test case is to check weather asterisk is not present after clicking on save button.
Assuming you are using Java, You should try as below :-
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
WebElement el = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//div[#class='ag-cell-label']/span")));
String class = el.getAttribute("class");
Hope it will help you...:)
This is a simple case of:
Locate the WebElement using a suitable locator strategy (Class, CSS, XPath etc) and assign it to a new WebElement object.
Use the .getAttribute(String arg) method with an argument of "class" to retrieve the required class value from the WebElement object instantiated in the first step and assign it to a new String object.
Use the .contains(String arg) method with an argument of "asterisk" to determine whether the "class" attribute retrieved in the second step contains the text "asterisk".
Can I take all local-name() of WebElement?
I don't know the attributes of this webElement and I wish to find and save it.
Edit:
I have WebElement elm which it tagName is Div. I find this element by the next command:
WebElememnt elem = driver.findElements(By.xpath(//*[identifier="c")).get(1)
Now, I want to know all the attributes of this element, which I don't know when I do my query. for example: elm is the next in my DOM:
<div identifier="c" someAtr="b" someAtr2="c">
So I wish to know that I have an attributes which it name is "someAtr"="b" and "someAtr2"="c" (Again, I don't know that someAtr even exists, and for that I want all the attributes).
You can do so using the Javascript Executor and then getting the innerHtml:
String html = (String)((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("return arguments[0].innerHTML;", ele);
Then you can parse the String as you normally would.
I am trying to use Selenium's Xpath ability to be able to find an set of elements. I have used FirePath on FireFox to create and test the Xpath that I have come up with and that is working just fine but when I use the Xpath in my c# test with Selenium nothing is returned.
var MiElements = this._driver.FindElements(By.XPath("//div[#class='context-menu-item' and descendant::div[text()='Action Selected Jobs']]"));
and the Html looks like this:-
Can Anyone please point me right as everything that I have read the web says to me that this Xpath is correct.
Thanking you all in-advance.
Please post the actual HTML, so we can simply "drop it in" into a HTML file and try it ourselves but I noticed that there is a trailing space at the end of the class name:
<div title="Actions Selected Jobs." class="context-menu-item " .....
So force XPath to strip the trailing spaces first:
var MiElements = this._driver.FindElements(By.XPath("//div[normalize-space(#class)='context-menu-item' and descendant::div[text()='Action Selected Jobs']]"));
Perhaps you don't take into consideration the time that the elements need to load and you look for them when they aren't yet "searchable". UPDATE I skipped examples regarding this issue. See Slanec's comment.
Anyway, Selenium recommends to avoid searching by xpath whenever it is possible, because of being slower and more "fragile".
You could find your element like this:
//see the method code below
WebElement div = findDivByTitle("Action Selected Jobs");
//example of searching for one (first found) element
if (div != null) {
WebElement myElement = div.findElement(By.className("context-menu-item"));
}
......
//example of searching for all the elements
if (div != null) {
WebElement myElement = div.findElements(By.className("context-menu-item-inner"));
}
//try to wrap the code above in convenient method/s with expressive names
//and separate it from test code
......
WebElement findDivByTitle(final String divTitle) {
List<WebElement> foundDivs = this._driver.findElements(By.tagName("div"));
for (WebElement div : foundDivs) {
if (element.getAttribute("title").equals(divTitle)) {
return element;
}
}
return null;
}
This is approximate code (based on your explanation), you should adapt it better to your purposes. Again, remember to take the load time into account and to separate your utility code from the test code.
Hope it helps.
