How to target an element with random id
I tried to use xpath, but doesn't worked
Use cy.contains() to search by text or regex alone or with a selector.
cy.contains(/This text has random Id/i)
You can use cy.contains with the combination of selector and text.
cy.contains('p', 'This text has random Id')

I'm currently trying to locate this check box. I know I can use a xpath to locate it but I'm trying to see if there's a more efficient way of doing it. The problem I'm seeing is that there are multiple div class with the same name. I'm trying to find this specific one and isolate it. I'm trying to make my code more efficient if possible.
Xpath
/html/body/div/div/div/div[1]/cow-data/cat-panel/section/div[1]/div/div/md- checkbox[4]/div[1]
Element path:
<div class="cd-container" cd-gar-ripple="" cd-gar-ripple-checkbox=""><div class="cd-icon"></div></div>
Code I'm trying to use:
find('cd-container').click
The problem I'm seeing is that the div id 'cd-container' has multiple occurrences on the page and thus this doesn't work. I'm trying to see if I can find a more efficient way of doing this.
As per the HTML cd-container is the value of the class attribute but not id attribute. So your effective line of code will be:
find('.cd-container').click
If you want to find an element (AND THEN), return it's xpath. Use capybara.
This will allow you to locate using text / css selector. And then you can just return the path of the element.
i.e.
page.find('td', text: 'Column 1').path # Random td with text
page.find('#main').path # ID
page.all('div').select { |element| element.text == 'COoL dIv' }.first.path # First div that matches certain text
page.find('.form > div:nth-of-type(2)').path # Specific structured div
page.all('p div li:nth-child(3)').sample.path # Random li
JHow do I grab this text here?
I am trying to grab the text here based on that the href contains "#faq-default".
I tried this first of all but it doesn't grab the text, only the actual href name, which is pointless:
//a/#href[contains(., '#faq-default-2')]
There will be many of these hrefs, such as default-2, default-3 so I need to do some kind of contains query, I'd guess?
You are selecting the #href node value instead of the a element value. So try this instead:
//a[contains(#href, '#faq-default-2')]
I am trying to find all DIV elements have the attribute widget-name and a descendant span tag that have a title attribute.
This is what I am trying.
//div[#widget-name and descendant::span[#title]]"
This seems to almost work but it is missing one element in the Nodes Collection it returns.
Never mind.
This is what I needed:
//div[#widget-name and descendant::span[#class='title']]
OK - take it back.
This is not the complete answer.
I am now trying to tweak this to where it returns all except where title is not equal to some text:
//div[#widget-name and descendant::span[#class='title' and [text()[contains(., '{someTextToKeep}'
Anyone see why this would be invalid XPath?
Final answer is:
//div[#widget-name and descendant::span[#class='title' and text()[not(contains(., 'someTextToKeep'))]]]"
This XPath should return all div's that:
has a widget-name attribute
has a descendant span element (used abbreviated syntax) that:
has a class attribute with the value 'title'
contains the text 'someTextToKeep' (if you want to exclude spans with certain text, wrap the contains() in not().
XPath:
//div[#widget-name and .//span[#class='title'][contains(.,'someTextToKeep')]]
I am facing issue in selecting a particular drop down from the webpage.
I need to select the second highlighted div tag in the image above.
The xpath that I am trying to use is:
//div[#class='page-container']//table//div[#class='ui-multiselect-selected-container']
Kindly suggest how can I edit the xpath to select the second div tag.
I am new to xpaths and any help will be appreciated.
I think the below xpath should work to locate the second instance
(//div[#class='ui-multiselect-selected-container'])[2]
The second row has a tr class. When you use //div[#class='page-container']//table//div[#class='ui-multiselect-selected-container'] since your are referring to relative div(using //) it points to 1st element found by default.
I see that the tr element for the second multiselect has a class attribute, which makes unique
so, this will be //div[#class='page-container']//table//tr[#class='rowRelativeTo']//div[#class='ui-multiselect-selected-container']
You can also use the style elements which are unique:
//div[#class='page-container']//table//tr[#class='rowRelativeTo']//div[#style='float:right'] /div[#class='ui-multiselect-selected-container']
On my HTML page I have forty divs but I only want one div.
Using agility pack to search and get all the divs with Ids I use this XPath:
"//div[#id]"
But how do I search for divs with Ids where the id contains the text "test" like so:
<div id="outerdivtest1></div>"
Use the contains function:
//div[contains(#id,'test')]
I've used this with for the CSS class:
//div[#class = 'atom']
I assume it's similar with id's.
You can use the xpath
//div[#contains(#id,'test')]
If you want to use the first occurrence, it works fine but if it's not the first occurrence you have to go with different xpath specific to the particular element.
For example if you want first selection "id" is like that
(//[#id="numberIdentify"])//following:://a[contains(text(),'V ')]
