I am trying to find a matching string and then click the reply button using Selenium IDE.
I keep getting a 'not found' error.
I tried:
/html/body/div[2]/article[2]/div[1]/a[3]/span[contains(text(), 'my-search-string')
sample HTML:
<article class="thread">
<div class="threadline normal first">
<span class="area" title="no location given">---</span>
text? <
<a href="?act=su&handle=my-search-string" target="R" class="handle">
<span class="handle hnd">my-search-string</span>
</a> >
<button class="BlockButton">Block</button>
<time>12:14</time>
</div> <!-- Added by edit -->
</article> <!-- Added by edit -->
or
<div class="threadline normal">
<span class="dotz"> : . . : . . : . . : . . : . . </span>
some text <
<a href="?act=su&handle=my-search-string" target="R" class="handle">
<span class="handle hnd">my-search-string</span>
</a> >
<button class="BlockButton">Block</button>
<time>12:03</time>
</div>
I get the error:
'not found'
How do I use the Selenium IDE to search for the string 'my-search-string' in the expression
<span class="handle hnd">my-search-string</span>
?
The correct XPath expression is
/html/body/div[2]/article[2]/div[1]/a[2]/span[contains(text(), 'my-search-string')]
Its output is:
my-search-string
You were missing a final ] and your index of the a element was off by one.
try this selector:
//span[text()='my-search-string']
You can use the "verifyAttribute":
Command: verifyAttribute
Target: target#class
Value: value
Example:
Command: verifyAttribute
Target: /html/body/div[2]/article[2]/div[1]/a[3]#href
Value: ?act=su&handle=my-search-string
OBS: I don't know if this works in the new IDE, i use the old version, 2.9.1.

having the following HTML (snippet grabbed from the web page I wanted to scrape):
<div class="ulListContainer">
<section class="stockUpdater">
<ul class="column4">
<li>
<img src="1.png" alt="">
<strong>
Buy*
</strong>
<strong>
Sell*
</strong>
</li>
<li>
<header>
$USD
</header>
<span class="">
20.90
</span>
<span class="">
23.15
</span>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>...</ul>
</section>
</div>
how do I get the 2nd li 1st span value using XPath? The result should be 20.90.
I have tried the following //div[#class="ulListContainer"]/section/ul[1]/li[2]/span[1] but I am not getting any values. I must said this is being used from a Google Sheet and using the function IMPORTXML (not sure what version of XPath it does uses) can I get some help?
Update
Apparently Google Sheets does not support such "complex" XPath expression since it seems to work fine:
Update 1
As requested I've shared the Google Sheet I am using to test this, here is the link
What you need is :
=IMPORTXML(A1;"//li[contains(text(),'USD')]/span[1]")
Removing section from your original XPath will work too :
=IMPORTXML(A1;"//div[#class='ulListContainer']/ul[1]/li[2]/span[1]")
Try this:
=IMPORTXML("URL","//span[1]")
Change URL to the actual website link/URL
Using Scrapy, I want to extract some data from a HTML well-formed site. With XPath I am able to extract a list of items, but I am not able to extra data from the elements in the list, using XPath
All XPath's have been tested using XPather. I have tested the issue using a local file that contains the webpage, same issue.
Here goes:
# Get the webpage
fetch("https://www.someurl.com")
# The following gives me the expected items from the HTML
products = response.xpath("//*[#id='product-list-146620']/div/div")
The items are like this:
<div data-pageindex="1" data-guid="13157582" class="col ">
<div class="item item-card item-card--static">
<div class="item-card__inner">
<div class="item__image item__image--overlay">
<a href="/www.something.anywhere?ref_gr=9801" class="ratio_custom" style="padding-bottom:100%">
</a>
</div>
<div class="item__text-container">
<div class="item__name">
<a class="item__name-link" href="/c.aspx?ref_gr=9801">The text I want</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
When using the following Xpath to extract "The text I want", i dont get anything:
XPATH_PRODUCT_NAME = "/div/div/div/div/div[contains(#class,'item__name')]/a/text()"
products[0].xpath(XPATH_PRODUCT_NAME).extract()
The output is empty, why?
Try the following code.
XPATH_PRODUCT_NAME = ".//div[#class='item__name']/a[#class='item__name-link']/text()"
products[0].xpath(XPATH_PRODUCT_NAME).extract()
I have a switch block in my thymeleaf page where I show an image depending on the reputation score of the user:
<h1>
<span th:text="#{user.reputation} + ${reputation}">Reputation</span>
</h1>
<div th:if="${reputation lt 0}">
<img th:src="#{/css/img/troll.png}"/>
</div>
<div th:if="${reputation} == 0">
<img th:src="#{/css/img/smeagol.jpg}"/>
</div>
<div th:if="${reputation gt 0} and ${reputation le 5}">
<img th:src="#{/css/img/samwise.png}"/>
</div>
<div th:if="${reputation gt 5} and ${reputation le 15}">
<img th:src="#{/css/img/frodo.png}"/>
</div>
<div th:if="${reputation gt 15}">
<img th:src="#{/css/img/gandalf.jpg}"/>
</div>
This statement always returns smeagol (so reputation 0), eventhough the reputation of this user is 7: example
EDIT:
I was wrong, the image showing was a rogue line:
<!--<img th:src="#{/css/img/smeagol.jpg}"/>-->
but I commented it out. Now there is no image showing.
EDIT2:
changed my comparators (see original post) and now I get the following error:
The value of attribute "th:case" associated with an element type "div" must not contain the '<' character.
EDIT3:
Works now, updated original post to working code
According to the documentation, Thymeleaf's switch statement works just like Java's - and the example suggests the same.
In other words: you cannot do
<th:block th:switch="${reputation}">
<div th:case="${reputation} < 0">
[...]
but would need to do
<th:block th:switch="${reputation}">
<div th:case="0">
[...]
which is not what you want.
Instead, you will have to use th:if, i.e. something like this:
<div th:if="${reputation} < 0">
<img th:src="#{/css/img/troll.png}"/>
</div>
Change
<div th:case="0">
<img th:src="#{/css/img/smeagol.jpg}"/>
</div>
to
<div th:case="${reputation == 0}">
<img th:src="#{/css/img/smeagol.jpg}"/>
</div>
Here i want to Accept button. Here is the HTML.
<div class="friend-request no-pad ng-scope" ng-if="notifications.friendInvites.length > 0">
<p class="rem-head mzero small">
<div class="reminder-lst lst-box ng-scope" ng-repeat="friendInvite in notifications.friendInvites | limitTo:limit">
<span class="img-frame img-circle">
<span class="pull-left rem-detail-a">
<a class="pull-left rem-detail-a pzero" href="friend#/friends/friendprofile/b6c70e4f-bfe1-440d-836c-2e8fdc88540e">
<span class="frndact pull-right">
<a class="ignore" ng-click="ignoreNotification(friendInvite, 'friend')" href="javascript:void(0)">
<a class="accept" ng-click="acceptNotification(friendInvite, 'friend')" href="javascript:void(0)">
<i class="fa fa-lg fa-check-circle green"></i>
</a>
I have tried using below xpath but not working. Can anyone plz help me?
#FindBy(xpath=".//a[ng-click='acceptNotification(friendInvite, 'friend')']/preceding-sibling::i[#css='.fa.fa-lg.fa-check-circle.green']").
Thanks in advance
Assuming that you are looking for the 'A' tag of class accept, you can try
//i[#class="fa fa-lg fa-check-circle green"]/preceding-sibling::a[#class="accept"]
or
//i[#class="fa fa-lg fa-check-circle green"]/preceding-sibling::a[#ng-click="acceptNotification(friendInvite, 'friend')"]
a couple of things:
as TT noted your xpath was missing the # for the attribute selector
the sample you posted is not a well formed xml, expect troubles with xpath if you don't have an xhtml compliant source.
if you use the second example mind to escape either the " or the ' quotes, if you use it inside another expression
Using Selenium WebDriver, I'm trying to click on Manual Testing option from Testing menu from http://guru99.com/ Manual Testing option appears after hovering mouse on Testing. In order to achieve above, I did following -
testing = $driver.find_element(:xpath, "//li[#class='item118 parent']")
mt = $driver.find_element(:xpath, "//li[#class='item119']/a")
$driver.action.move_to(testing).move_to(mt).perform
mt.click
But, sometimes error for line #3 above code -
Selenium::WebDriver::Error::MoveTargetOutOfBoundsError: Offset within element ca
nnot be scrolled into view: (85, 21): http://guru99.com/software-testing.html
and sometimes error for line #4 in above code -
Selenium::WebDriver::Error::ElementNotVisibleError: Element is not currently vis
ible and so may not be interacted with
Please help me to resolve this issue without executing javascript.
Here is HTML code -
<li class="item118 parent">
<a class="item" href="/software-testing.html"> Testing </a>
<span class="dropdown-spacer"></span>
<div class="dropdown columns-1 " style="width:180px;">
<div class="column col1" style="width:180px;">
<ul class="l2">
<li class="item119">
<a class="item" href="/software-testing.html"> Manual Testing </a>
</li>
.
.
.
You can try with partial_link_text:
testing = $driver.find_element(:partial_link_text, "Testing")
$driver.action.move_to(testing).perform
mt = $driver.find_element(:partial_link_text, "Manual Testing")
mt.click
