I want to click a button that contains "Add" as text.
ie:
driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//a[contains(text(),'Add')])").click()
however it's not practical to do this:
driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//a[contains(text(),'Add')])[1]").click()
It would be fine, except the page has a button with text "Add User", and it clicks that instead. Is there a way to only click it if it is EXACTLY "Add" and not just contains "Add"?
You can also try :
driver.find_element_by_link_text("Add").click()
link text will match links who's text equals Add and it doesn't match text which contains Add as part of it.
This should work for you:
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[text()='Add']").click()
You should change your xpath to require an exact match instead of a partial match.
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[text()='Add']").click()
Using text()= requires the text on the button to be equal to 'Add' and will not find other buttons that happen to contain the text 'Add'

I am trying to automate the web table on the demoqa site https://demoqa.com/webtables where I am aiming to click the edit and delete button for a specific user. Please find the attached screenshot for reference.
Screenshot
I am trying to click the edit and delete button for the user 'Cierra' hence I have created the customize XPath '//div[contains(text(),'cierra#example.com')]//following::div[text()='Insurance']//following::div//div//span[#title='Edit']'
Trying to click the edit and delete button using the contains text with email 'cierra#example.com' however I see four results even I use the unique username. Could anyone help me with this?
(//div[contains(text(),'cierra#example.com')]//following::div[text()='Insurance']//following::div//div//span[#title='Edit'])[1]
you can enclose the result in bracket and call [1] , to get first one:
But you don't have to over complicate it , just get email then go back to parent and get span under that parent ,:
//div[contains(text(),'cierra#example.com')]/..//span[#title="Edit"]
if you still want to use fancy xpath locator then use :
//div[contains(text(),'cierra#example.com')]/following-sibling::div[contains(text(),'Insurance')]/following-sibling::div//span[#title='Edit']
i'm struggling with this one, i need to hide a button, i mean a command button based on the value of a column.
i grab the following example from kendo pages, i would like to show/hide the button "View Details" based on the "Discontinued" value.
i've already tested with :visible or :hide properties without success.

does someone know how to get this working?
The command option is expecting string or array so this is an updated stackblitz example that worked at my side - https://stackblitz.com/edit/e1fre3-wnzfer?file=index.html
I have a problem in scanning a drop-down menu which disappears upon opening the xScan. I need to get the module id of the dropdown menu to verify some test steps.
Do you have any solution with this if it is not really possible to get the module id of the dropdown menu?
Open developer tools in your browser of choice (F12), navigate to the console and input the following code:
var fulldoc='';
var scrollX=0;
var scrollY=0;
document.addEventListener("keydown",function(event){
if(event.key=='q' && event.altKey){
fulldoc=document.body.outerHTML;
scrollY=window.pageYOffset;
scrollX=window.pageXOffset;
}
if(event.key=='w' && event.altKey){
document.body.outerHTML=fulldoc;
document.body.scrollTo(scrollX,scrollY);
}
});
When the window looks the way you would want to scan, press 'Alt + Q', then press 'Alt + W'.
Now your window will freeze and then you can scan your page.
To steer the objects you need to refresh your browser.
You can resolve the issue with below 2 steps
1 - Add some text in textbox which will populate the dropdown below it .
2 - Use Send Keys Module to scroll down and select the value.
I had a similar issue where we had a popup that only appeared when clicking on a text box. The solution we received from the Tricentis trainer was as follows:
Part One
1. Open your application in Chrome
2. Right click the inspect
3. In the inspector window, on the Elements tab, navigate to your html element where it should be (you can do that by clicking on the element and check that you can see the html in the element)
4. Use the debugger to add a break point there, this should pause it and you should be able to see the elements you need to steer it.
5. Once you found the element, you will need the type of element (e.g. div, span, etc), and the class name
Part two
1. Rescan your module and select any element that matches the criteria of your element selected in Part One #5
2. Identify it by only it's class name property and tag
3. Save and close
4. Edit the element in the module view by changing the class name. This should help you steer it
Note: if the element class name is not unique, you might need to use Explicit name.
Good luck
I have a field that has a "+" Add button in case you want to add more lines. I want to add 2-3 lines with it, then to click on the "+" button from a newly created line to create 2-3 more. The problem is that all buttons are declared the same:
<button class="ng-scope" ng-if="formData.order_request_status == STATUSES['OPEN']" ng-click="addImportMaterial()" style="margin-left: 3px;" type="button">+</button>
I have written the following xpath:
//button[#ng-click='addImportMaterial()']
but this selects all plus buttons and I want only the third one to be pressed. Any ideas? Thanks!
You should try using xpath with index then as below :-
I want only the third one to be pressed
(//button[#ng-click='addImportMaterial()'])[3]
So, (Assuming your using java) use above xpath to locate third button and click as :-
driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//button[#ng-click='addImportMaterial()'])[3]")).click()
Since you will be getting a List of buttons, to press the third one you just have to do buttons.get(2).click();
I want, depending of the previous choice from the user just let some tab's being seen.
Once i am new in VBA, i start showing all the tab's and after the choice from the user, i remove the tab's that i don't want. For that i am using this line of code
MultiPage1.Pages.Remove "name of the tab"
The problem is, if i don't have the same CAPTION and the NAME field of the tab the tab is not remove.
If anyone have a diferent solution for this or another away to remove without have to change the caption for the same name of NAME field i would be thankful.
Thanks
You can give a page of a multi-page control a different name from the caption in the Properties Window. You can access it from the View menu.
I've highlighed the name of the control in yellow and the caption in aqua.
If the captions are unique, you could use a Select Case statement to get the name, based on the caption. Are users actually typing in the caption of the tabs they want, or selecting from check boxes? In either case, the captions would have to be unique, so you could do something like:
Select Case True
Case Check1.Value
MultiPage1.Pages.Remove Pages("kp").Index
Case Check2.Value
MultiPage1.Pages.Remove Pages("jp").Index
End Select
That's a bit rough, but is that the general idea?
