I have the same button in two different application , so i want to write the same code for them , but the pb is that there's a difference between the xpaths in the text , one starts with an uppercase letter and the second all in lower case :
xpath1: //span[contains(#class,'text')][contains(text(),'Test')]
xpath2: //span[contains(#class,'text')][contains(text(),'test')]
so i want to use the same function: Click Element ${element}
for both apps , how to do that ?
THANKS
I'm using below format, it works perfect. So you can have multiple xpath using this union operator "|". There are also multiple options, but this works and easy to use.
//span[contains(#class,'text')][contains(text(),'Test')] | //span[contains(#class,'text')][contains(text(),'test')]
or
you can also use below format, but this looks little dirty.
//span[contains(#class,'text')][contains(text(),'Test') or contains(text(),"test")]

I'm generating an XML report, using the JDF standard for PDFs going into a printing workflow.
There are 3 "DPart" sections, and I can use an xPath query to recognize them, but I want to grab the "Separation" attribute of each "cip4:Part". I can also get a query to find that, but it does not distinguish between the multiple "DPart"s.
<DPart End="0" ID="0003" ParentRef="0002" Start="0">
<DPM>
<cip4:Root>
<cip4:Intent cip4:ProductType="ProductPart"/>
<cip4:Production>
<cip4:Resource>
<cip4:Part Separation="K1"/>
<cip4:Color cip4:ActualColorName="Black" cip4:ColorType="Normal">
</cip4:Resource>
<cip4:Resource>
<cip4:Part Separation="S1"/>**
<cip4:Color cip4:ActualColorName="Dieline" cip4:ColorType="Normal">
</cip4:Resource>
<cip4:Resource>
<cip4:ColorantControl ColorantOrder="K1 S1" ColorantParams="K1 S1"/>
</cip4:Resource>
<cip4:Resource>
<eg:InkCoverage>
<eg:InkCov eg:Mm2="0.000000" eg:Pct="0.000000" eg:Separation="K1"/>
<eg:InkCov eg:Mm2="182.337538" eg:Pct="0.721209" eg:Separation="S1"/>
</eg:InkCoverage>
</cip4:Resource>
</cip4:Production>
</cip4:Root>
</DPM>
</DPart>
I want to do something like:
/DPM[2]/*[name ()='cip4:Part'], but it's not working.
I'm in a low-code pre-press environment (Esko Automation Engine), but the system gives me tools to parse an xPath, and throw some JavaScript at it.
There are at least three reasons your XPath selects nothing:
DPM is not an immediate child of the root node
There is only one DPM, so DPM[2] won't select anything
There is no child of a DPM whose name is cip4:Part.
You also say in the narrative that there are three DPart's, which implies that DPart is not actually the outermost element as it appears to be in your sample. This makes it difficult to provide the correct XPath. However, you might be able to make a start with
(//DPM)[2]//*[name()='cip4:Part']
I had a scenario like I need to select one random date range from drop down list of values(like today, yesterday, last month etc). How should i select one value randomly every time from the drop down list.waht function or method i need use in my jmeter script.Any one please help me. Thanks in advance
The easiest way to get this done is using HTML Link Parser, refer Poll Example user manual entry for more details, basically you need to provide input name and a wildcard like .* and JMeter will automatically scan the possible options and pick up a random value.
Other option (if the above one is not applicable for some reason) is using XPath Extractor or CSS/JQuery Extractor to get the possible dropdown values from the page DOM, Match No. parameter set to 0 will return the random option value.

I have:
//*[text()='Reception']//preceding::th[contains(#id, 'ep')]//following::I
But it only registers following.
The default firepath selector is: .//*[#id='mw-content-text']/div/table[5]/tbody/tr/td[1]/I but this kind of selector is known to break quite frequently. Just wondering if there is a better way of doing this and I thought this might be a way.
Thanks!

- You can see that it's getting stuff under the table which is not what I want :S
Try to use below XPath to match required elements:
//th[contains(#id, 'ep')]/following::I[./following::*[text()='Reception']]
This looks more simple
//tr[contains(#class, 'vevent')]//i
Don't overcomplicate things. You need I tag inside each row. So just find row locator tr[contains(#class, 'vevent')] and get it's I
Another good approach in case you want to check that inside of parent element is located some special element, but you want to find some 3rd element is to use such style: //element[./specific]//child , so in your case:
//tr[contains(#class, 'vevent')][./th[contains(#id,'ep')]]//i
so it's I tag inside row that contains #id,'ep' in header
I've been hacking away at this one for hours and I just can't figure it out. Using XPath to find text values is tricky and this problem has too many moving parts.
I have a webpage with a large table and a section in this table contains a list of users (assignees) that are assigned to a particular unit. There is nearly always multiple users assigned to a unit and I need to make sure a particular user is assigned to any of the units on the table. I've used XPath for nearly all of my selectors and I'm half way there on this one. I just can't seem to figure out how to use contains with text() in this context.
Here's what I have so far:
//td[#id='unit']/span [text()='asdfasdfasdfasdfasdf (Primary); asdfasdfasdfasdfasdf, asdfasdfasdfasdf; 456, 3456'; testuser]
The XPath Query above captures all text in the particular section I am looking at, which is great. However, I only need to know if testuser is in that section.
text() gets you a set of text nodes. I tend to use it more in a context of //span//text() or something.
If you are trying to check if the text inside an element contains something you should use contains on the element rather than the result of text() like this:
span[contains(., 'testuser')]
XPath is pretty good with context. If you know exactly what text a node should have you can do:
span[.='full text in this span']
But if you want to do something like regular expressions (using exslt for example) you'll need to use the string() function:
span[regexp:test(string(.), 'testuser')]
I am writing the selenium test.
I have a label there "Assign Designer" and the select box followed right after the label.
Unfortunetely, select box has the dynamic id and I can not query it by id or any other it's attribute.
Can I build the XPath query that returns "First select tag after text 'Assign Designer'"?
PS. Selenium supports only XPath 1.0
This would be something like:
//label[text() = 'Assign Designer']/following-sibling::select[1]
Note that:
The // shorthand is quite inefficient, because it causes a document-wide scan. If you can be more specific about the label's position, I recommend doing so. If the document is small, however, this won't be a problem.
Since I don't know much about Selenium, I used "label". If it is not a <label>, you should use the actual element name, of course. ;-)
be sure to include a position predicate ([1], in this case) whenever you use an axis like "following-sibling". It's easily forgotten and if it is, your expressions may produce unexpected results.
