I have the following HTML:
<div class="flex flex-wrap">
<span>Final result </span>
<strong>2:0</strong> (7:6 <div>
<sup>5</sup>
</div>, 6:1)
</div>
I can extract all the text using:
string(//div[#class='flex flex-wrap'])
However, I don't want extract the superscript text in the <sup> tag. How would I do this?

Say I have the following XML:
<body>
<div id="global-header">
header
</div>
<div class="a">
<h3>some title</h3>
<p>text 1</p>
<p>text 2</p>
<p>text 3</p>
</div>
</body>
I want to
find any <p> node whose value is "text 2", and then
find all the nodes that precede this particular <p> but are also descendants of the <div class='a'> node.
The desired output should look like:
<h3>some title</h3>
<p>text 1</p>
The caveat is that the preceding nodes may contain arbitrary node type, not only <h3> and <p>, as in the above case.
My first try:
.//p[text()="text 2"]/preceding::*
Unfortunately, this will also select <div id="global-header">, which is not desired.
You need to use preceding-sibling to select nodes that are children of the same parent instead of preceding:
.//p[text()="text 2"]/preceding-sibling::*
I'm trying to select a node whose children do not contain some specific text.
For example:
<div class="b-margin">
<div class="tag">Pt</div>
<div class="tag">En</div>
</div>
<div class="b-margin">
<div class="tag">Ru</div>
<div class="tag">En</div>
</div>
How would i go about selecting the 'div class="b-margin"' nodes that do not have children with the text "Pt"?
Here is the simple xpath.
//div[#class='b-margin' and not(div[.='Pt'])]
Screenshot:
<div class="bli-category">
<div class="row ng-scope" ng-repeat="placementtrack by $index">
<div class="col-sm-12">
<div class="col-sm-1 bli-category-checkbox">
<input class="bli-check-box ng-valid" type="checkbox" ng-click="addPlacement" ng-checked="checkedPlacementIndex" ng-model="selectedPlacement">
</div>
<div class="col-sm-8 bli-category-content">
<div class="ng-binding" ng-bind="placement.placementName">page_details</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I need to select the checkbox in class='bli-check-box ng-valid' for the text in class='ng-binding'
When I try to get the xpath like
//input[#class='bli-check-box ng-valid']
it selects all the 4-5 checkboxes
To select the checkbox in class='bli-check-box ng-valid' with respect to the text in class='ng-binding' i.e. page_details you can use the following xpath :
//div[#class='bli-category']//div[#class='ng-binding' and contains(.,'page_details')]//preceding::input[#class='bli-check-box ng-valid']
Note : As the element is an Angular element you have to induce wait for the element to be clickable before attempting to click.
//div[text='page_detials' and class='ng-binding']/../preceding-sibling::div//input[class='bli-check-box ng-valid']
The above xpath starts with finding the node which has the custom text that you know. It then traverses to its parent and then its previous sibling which in your case houses your required input node. So after traversing to the div you select its child which is your required input node.
I am trying to enter text into an input field and can not successfully get it working. I have two inputs that look like this:
<div class"outerParentClass">
<div class="classLabel">From</div>
<div class="classA classB classD">
<div class="classE">
<div class="classText"> TEXT HERE </div>
<input class="classInputA classInoutB" type="text">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="classLabel">To</div>
<div class="classA classB classD">
<div class="classE">
<div class="classText"> DIFFERENT TEXT HERE </div>
<input class="classInputA classInoutB" type="text">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Both the inputs are the exact same format as above. There are no Id's and both have the same classes. I am struggling at entering the text into these or even finding them correctly.
When I do this:
browser.text_field(:class => "classInputA").size
It returns 20
When I do this:
browser.text_field(:class => "classInputA")
It returns:
#<Watir::TextField:0x..fbccafb7ed2e9b85e located=false selector={:class=>"classInputA", :tag_name=>"input"}>
Not sure how to locate either of these inputs. Any suggestions?
The text adjacent to the field provides a label and context for the field. As it is likely unique, you can use this to identify the element.
To do this, find the div containing the label text. Then navigate to the adjacent div that contains the text field.
browser.div(text: 'From', class: 'classLabel') # label of interest
.element(xpath: './following-sibling::div[1]') # adjacent div containing text field
.text_field # the text field
Note that in the next release of Watir, .element(xpath: './following-sibling::div[1]') will be replaceable by just .following-sibling.
I am new to nokogiri and so far most familiar with CSS selectors, I am trying to parse information from a table, below is a sample of the table and the code I'm using, I'm stuck on the appropriate if statement, as it seems to return the whole contents of the table.
Table:
<div class="holder">
<div class ="row">
<div class="c1">
<!-- Content I Don't need -->
</div>
<div class="c2">
<span class="data">
<!-- Content I Don't Need -->
<span class="data">
</div>
</div>
...
<div class="row">
<div class="c1">
SPECIFIC TEXT
</div>
<div class="c2">
<span class="data">
What I want
</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
My Script: (if SPECIFIC TEXT is found in the table it returns every "div.c2 span.data" variable - so I've either screwed up my knowledge of do loops or if statements)
data = []
page.agent.get(url)
page.search('div.row').each do |row_data|
if (row_data.search('div.c1:contains("/SPECIFIC TEXT/")').text.strip
temp = row_data.search('div.c2 span.data').text.strip
data << temp
end
end
There's no need to stop and insert ruby logic when you can extract what you need in a single CSS selector.
data = page.search('div.row > div.c1:contains("SPECIFIC TEXT") + div.c2 span.data')
This will include only those that match the selector (e.g. follow the SPECIFIC TEXT).
Here's where your logic may have gone wrong:
This code
if (row_data.search('div.c1:contains("SPECIFIC TEXT")'...
temp = row_data.search('div.c2 span.data')...
first searches the row for the specific text, then if it matches, returns ALL rows matching the second query, which has the same starting point. The key is the + in the CSS selector above which will return elements immediately following (e.g. the next sibling element). I'm making an assumption, of course, that the next element is always what you want.
I'd do
require 'nokogiri'
html = <<_
<div class="holder">
<div class ="row">
<div class="c1">
<!-- Content I Don't need -->
</div>
<div class="c2">
<span class="data">
<!-- Content I Don't Need -->
<span class="data">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="c1">
SPECIFIC TEXT
</div>
<div class="c2">
<span class="data">
What I want
</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
_
doc = Nokogiri::HTML(html)
css_string = 'div.row > div.c1[text()*="SPECIFIC TEXT"] + div.c2 span.data'
doc.at(css_string).text.strip
# => "What I want"
How those selectors would work here -
[name*="value"] - Selects elements that have the specified attribute with a value containing the a given substring.
Child Selector (“parent > child”) - Selects all direct child elements specified by "child" of elements specified by "parent".
Next Adjacent Selector (“prev + next”) - Selects all next elements matching "next" that are immediately preceded by a sibling "prev".
Class Selector (“.class”) - Selects all elements with the given class.
Descendant Selector (“ancestor descendant”) - Selects all elements that are descendants of a given ancestor.
