I am Really stuck for the past two days here. I am trying to click sub menu and when I try to click sub menu I get an errors as like the following
Element not found for the sub menu.
I have tried below code
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("x-menu-el-P46915788081933044__folderbrowser_PJL"));
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);
HTML Code
<li id="x-menu-el-P46915788081933044__folderbrowser_PJL" class="x-menu-list-item">
<a id="P46915788081933044__folderbrowser_PJL" class="x-menu-item" href="javascript:var abc = doNothing()" unselectable="on" hidefocus="true">
<img id="ext-gen926" class="x-menu-item-icon " src="netmarkets/images/import.gif">
<span id="ext-gen927" class="x-menu-item-text">Upload Documents from Compressed File</span>
Instead of using the ID you should probably use the class name.
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.ClassName("x-menu-list-item"));
or you could try using the css selector
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("li[class='x-menu-list-item']"));
Since the above return multiple items you could just use to return the exact element that you need:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Upload Documents from Compressed File"));
1st click on the menu and then try the following statement -
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li[#class='x-menu-list-item']//span[contains(text(),'Upload Documents from Compressed')])).click();
or directly try this -
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[contains(text(),'Upload Documents from Compressed')])).click();
I guess mostly the error is due to the span name spaces in between words, if the above dont work, pls attach a screenshot or give some details of the html code, so we can try more options, all d best.

Service Now has changed to using shadow root like this
<span id='s1'>
#shadow-root
<button>Cancel</button>
<button>Submit</button>
</span>
I can easily get the first span:
WebElement sele = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[#id='s1']"));
And then get the shadow root:
SearchContext sc = sele.getShadowRoot();
But it will not let you do a
sc.findElements(By.xpath(".//button'"));
or more preferably
WebElement cancelButton = sc.findElement(By.xpath(".//button[.='Cancel']"));
You have to find with CS selector
sc.findElements(By.cssSelector(" button"));
and go through each button to get the text. To make it worse, when I try
List<WebElement> buttons = sc.findElements(By.cssSelector(" button"));
because it says there is an error with "=" and it expects "<=". No idea why. Have to do a
for (WebElement wele : sc.findElements(By.cssSelector(" button")) {
String txt = wele.getText();
if (txt.equals("Cancel")) ... // whatever you want
}
So my question is is there someway to convert "sc" to a WebElement? Even maybe someway to get itself? The equivalent of
sc.findElement(By.xpath("."));
or someway to look for xpath with SearchContext?
Looks like this discussion is exactly what you looking for.
There are several answers given there to get the Shadow Root as a WebElement object.
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 am trying to click a button:
<button type="button" class="yt-ui-menu-item yt-uix-menu-close-on-select vm-playlist-monetize-videos">
<span class="yt-ui-menu-item-label">Monetize</span>
</button>
I have tried the following:
//*[#id=\"aria-menu-id-7\"]/ul/li[1]/button/span
Which won't work because the id is sometimes different than 7
I have also trued
//span[.='Monetize']
Which also doesn't work. How can I go about getting the xpath to click the above button?
You can try starts-with function if the id property is not unique. Try following xpath:
//*[starts-with(#id, 'aria-menu-id')]/descendant::button/span[text()='Monetize']
Let me know, if it works for you.
Try below code, using explicit wait method along with xpath.
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10); //wait for 10 seconds to find the web-elment.
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button/span[text()='Monetize']"))));
WebElement button = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button/span[text()='Monetize']"));
Click the button not the span element
//*[text()='Monetize'][#class='yt-ui-menu-item-label']/..
(or use the below format)
//*[contains(text(),'Monetize')][#class='yt-ui-menu-item-label']/..
Want to select the text "This is for testing selector" from below HTML code.
<div class="breadcrumb">
<a title=" Home" href="http://www.google.com/"> Home</a>
<span class="arrow">»</span>
<a title="abc" href="http://www.google.com/">test1</a>
<span class="arrow">»</span><a title="xyz" href="http://www.google.com/">test2</a>
<span class="arrow">»</span>
This is for testing selector
</div>
I'm not sure if there an easy way out for this or not. It turned out to be more difficult than I thought. Below mentioned code is tested locally and giving correct output for me ;)
String MyString= driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='breadcrumb']")).getText();
//get all child nodes of div parent class
List<WebElement> ele= driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[#class='breadcrumb']/child::*"));
for(WebElement i:ele) {
//substracing a text of child node from parent node text
MyString= MyString.substring(i.getText().length(), MyString.length());
//removing white spaces
MyString=MyString.trim();
}
System.out.println(MyString);
Let me know if it works for you or not!
Try with this example :
driver.get("http://www.google.com/");
WebElement text =
findElement(By.className("breadcrumb")).find("span").get(1);
Actions select = new Actions(driver);
select.doubleClick(text).build().perform();
I suggest also that you copy the xpath for the text you need and put it here to have the exact xpath
You cannot select text inside an element using xpath.
Xpath can only help you select XML elements, or in this case, HTML elements.
Typically, text should be encased in a span tag, however, in your case, it isn't.
What you could do, however, is select the div element encasing the text. Try this xpath :
(//div[#class='breadcrumb']/span)[3]/following-sibling::text()
You could try Abhijeet's Answer if you just want to get the text inside. As an added check, check if the string obtained from using getText() on root element contains the string obtained from using getText() on the child elements.
This is my html code:
YIKKU, TFYTUR
I want to click on the link name YIKKU TFYTUR, i have tried the following but nothing worked-
driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("YIKKU, TFYTUR")).click();
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a[href*='Y']")).click();
can anyone please help me??
The only solution to these kind of Href tags are find the nearest "id" element, in my case was this-
<table id="resSearchResultsTBL">
then find this element using css selector:
WebElement guest = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("table[id='resSearchResultsTBL']"));
and then find again in this element a sub element of "a href" tag:
guest.findElement(By.cssSelector("a[href*='guestProfile.do']")).click();
This worked perfectly for me.:)
Try -
WebElement link = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[#name=\"Y\"]"));
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(link));
link.click();
or
WebElement link = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[#target=\"sgr\"]"));
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(link));
link.click();
