I have 5 tooltips in page. Using WebDriver, I am trying to verify these tooltip text.
I am using following code sequentially to get the tooltip text of all 5 elements:
Actions builder = new Actions(WebDriver);
builder.ClickAndHold(Element1).Perform();
Console.WriteLine(Element1ToolTip.text);
builder.ClickAndHold(Element2).Perform();
Console.WriteLine(Element2ToolTip.text);
builder.ClickAndHold(Element3).Perform();
Console.WriteLine(Element3ToolTip.text);
The issue is I get only the tooltip text of first element printed in console.
Is it because I need to refresh or reset the builder?
It's really weird when I delete the code for 1st element , then I can get tooltip text of 2nd element. So, basically it is getting tooltip text only once in single execution.
Verify tool tip by comparing "title" attribute of the web element and your expected tool tip text.
Console.WriteLine(Element1.GetAttribute("title"));
Console.WriteLine(Element2.GetAttribute("title"));
Tool tip text for input elements would be the title attributes and for images, alt attribute would be the tool tip.This is the standard for HTML 4, so I am not sure if you need to do hover and all.
Console.WriteLine(InputElement1.GetAttribute("title"));
Console.WriteLine(ImageElement1.GetAttribute("alt"));

I think, it needs to release from element as:
builder.release(Element1).perform();
So, your code could be as below:
Actions builder = new Actions(WebDriver);
builder.ClickAndHold(Element1).Perform();
Console.WriteLine(Element1ToolTip.text);
builder.release(Element1).perform();
builder.ClickAndHold(Element2).Perform();
Console.WriteLine(Element2ToolTip.text);
builder.release(Element2).perform();
builder.ClickAndHold(Element3).Perform();
Console.WriteLine(Element3ToolTip.text);
builder.release(Element3).perform();
I am facing the same issue , i checked the view source page on running the test and it appears that the title attribute is displayed as data-original-title.Due to which it is unable to display the text.On replacing the title with data-original-title . I am able to obtain text.

im trying to find an element with dinamic values , for example <span class="ms-Button-label label-175" id="id__177">Save</span> in inspect element, the id and class values tend to change for every refresh, how can i in this case find the element in selenium? i tried troguht xpath but seems doesnt work because can not find the path, i was thinking to find "Save" world torught always find by xpath but actually i dont know if im doing well : driver.find_element_by_xpath(//span(#.... but then? how can insert element if it changes everytime? thanks!
Something like this may work:
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//span[text()="Save"]')
But this will fail, if there is more than one button with text "Save" on the page.
In that case you may try to find some specific outer element (div, form, etc.) which does not change and contains the button. Then find the button inside of it.
With few requests with driver:
specific_div = driver.find_element_by_id("my_specific_div")
button = specific_div.find_element_by_tag_name("span") # e.g. there is only one span in that div
Or with more specific xpath:
button = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//div[#class="some-specific-class"]/span[text()="Save"]')
If needed, search for more nested elements before the button, so you can get more narrow search field.
More examples in the docs.
I am still dipping my toes in selenium , I am SAP guy working on Selenium automation POC. my requirement is to click on the drop down and select a value from the droplist.
I have extensively looked at the previous posts but could not find any answers. I have tried all the suggestions from the post but nothing seems to be working for me.
Please can you help me how to access this drop down value.
HTML code is attached in the pic along with the element that I am trying to access
My selenium code :
driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.name("SMFrame")));
System.out.println("TExt" + driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='file-type']")).getText());
Error:
error -- > no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//div[#class='file-type']"}

Assuming you are correctly getting into the iframe
Right now you are selecting a div above the actual dropdown element (the select-dropdown tag). You may want to try changing your xpath to search for the tag like so:
//div[#class='file-dropdown']/select-dropdown
Also you should be creating a dropdown object like this. Then calling a method on it to select the dropdown option you are looking for:
Select dropdown = new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='file-dropdown']/select-dropdown");
System.out.println(dropdown.selectByVisibleText("text that you are looking for in the options"));
This is a good explanation of how to do it: https://www.javatpoint.com/selenium-webdriver-handling-drop-downs
I am clicking with the help of following lione oc code->
actions.moveToElement(objDriver.findElement(By.id("id_popcode")),coordinates.getX(),coordinates1.getY()-1).doubleClick().build().perform();
Basically i double click at a position(x,y) in our application. Individually we cannot click that particular element bcoz it has to be clicked at particular (x,y) itself. So i want to get the properties of that clicked element(which i click using actions command which i mentioned above) liked id, classname. Can some one help me with this...kinda stuck here..........
edit:
try execute.elementFromPoint() with JavascriptExecutor to get element by coordinates
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
WebElement theElement = (WebElement)js.executeScript("return document.elementFromPoint(arguments[0], arguments[1])", coordinates.getX(), coordinates1.getY()-1);
System.out.println(theElement.getAttribute("tagName"));
System.out.println(theElement.getAttribute("class"));
old:
you are using negative value in getY()-1 which mean coordinates above the element, it maybe the parent or preceding-sibling of element try to select it using xpath
WebElement popcodeBefore = objDriver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='id_popcode']/parent::*"));
// Or
// WebElement popcodeBefore = objDriver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='id_popcode']/preceding-sibling::*"));
System.out.println(popcodeBefore.getAttribute("class"));
actions.moveToElement(popcodeBefore).doubleClick().build().perform();
If you have any specific text at that particular coordinates make use of it. I too had the same issue like this where I need to double click on a cell which had text 0.00%. I have done hovering action first using the text and then performed the double-click
Ignore the syntax issues since I am working on the protractor these days
browser.driver.actions().mouseMove(driver.findElement(by.xpath("//*[text()='00')]").build().perform();
and then perform the click
Still, you have issues, check if you have any attribute like ng-click which can be helpful to get the coordinates for that particular location. please always share the HTML code so that It may help us to check more deeply
There are many span tags as mentioned in the image below and each has its own a-tag with unique id as "chooseitem". I need to choose particular a tag using names in the span tags.
Need to click the a-tag button using the text Mayo Chicken from the above HTML snippet in the image.
I have tried the below Selenium script
WebElement select = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(text(),'Mayo Chicken (Single)')]"));
WebElement add = select.findElement(By.id("chooseitem"));
It doesn't work for me.
driver.findElement(By.id("chooseitem"));
The above code chooses the first item in the page by default as its id is also 'chooseitem', but need to define what to be chosen.
Can anybody help me out?
We need to get the common parent(ancestor) element of the chicked and the clickable 'a' tag, then we can navigate to the tag 'a'. Below xpath should ideally work.
"//span[contains(text(),'Mayo chicken')]/ancestor::div[4]//a"
Note: Here i have used div[4] because fourth parent is the common ancestor for 'Mayo chicken' and tag 'a'.
For more details about different xpath axis refer this->https://www.w3schools.com/xml/xpath_axes.asp
Hope this helps you. thanks.
You can do that by using the xpath position, press F12 for developer tools click on "Select element button", click the element that interests you on the page, as in your picture you will see one or more lines highlighted, right click the line -> Copy -> Copy xpath. You will have something like the line below:
//*[#id="comment-76500216"]/td[2]/div/span[1]
The xpath position will be:
//td[2]/div/span[1]
You can use that when you have multiple elements that share the name or id or so on.
And you will have:
WebElement select = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td[2]/div/span[1]"));
PS: I used google chrome
I have tried a lot in finding out how measure the coordinate of an element in a web page in different browser.But I could not find any solution.
Is there any other tool that can measure the position of an element in various browsers???
In AutoIt you can use the following code to get screen coordinates (in my example for displaying a tool tip as an overlay on an Internet Explorer):
$oIE = _IECreate("http://...URL...")
$username = _IEFormElementGetObjByName(_IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "loginform"), "username")
ToolTip("Login", _IEPropertyGet($username, "screenx"), _IEPropertyGet($username, "screeny"))
_IEAction($username, "focus")
Alternatively you can use _IEGetObjById($oIE, "mx77") to get an object reference. Or run through all all elemnts by tag name as shown here.
Instead of getting the absolute screen position, you can get the In-Browser-Position, using
browserx and browsery.
