This is my html structure.I have this text Test Check inside a Span and : Please display the text inside a Paragraph tag.
What i need is ,i need to identify, whether my structure contains this complete text or not Test Check: Please display the text.
I have tried multiple ways and couldn't identify the complete path.Please find the way which i have tried
//span[text()='Test Check']/p[text()=': Please display the text']
Can you please provide me the xpath for this?
I think there is one possible solution to identify within the given html text and retrieve. I hope this solves your problem.
def get_tag_if_present(html_text):
soup_obj = BeautifulSoup(html_text,"html.parser")
test_check = soup_obj.find_all(text = re.compile(r"Test Check"))
result_val = "NOT FOUND"
if test_check:
for each_value in test_check:
parent_tag_span = each_value.parent
if parent_tag_span.name == "span":
parent_p_tag = parent_tag_span.parent
if parent_p_tag.name == "p" and "Please display the text" in parent_p_tag.get_text():
result_val = parent_p_tag
break
return result_val
The returned result_val will have the tag corresponding to the p tag element with the parameter. It would return NOT FOUND, if no such element exists.
I've taken this with the assumption that the corresponding data entries would exist in a "p" tag and "span" tag respectively , feel free to remove the said conditions for all identifications of the text in the given html text.

I would like to show an example.
This how the page looks:
<a class="aclass">
<div class="divclass"></div>
<div id="innerclass">
<span class="spanclass">Hello</span>
</div>
</a>
<a class="aclass">
<div class="divclass"></div>
<div id="innerclass">
<span class="spanclass">Pick Delivery Location</span>
</div>
</a>
I want to select anchor tags that have a child (direct or non-direct) span that has the text 'Hello'.
Right now, I do something like this:
//a[#class='aclass'][div/span[text() = 'Hello']]
I want to be able to select without having to select direct children (div in this case), like this:
//a[#class='aclass'][//span[text() = 'Hello']]
However, the second one finds all the anchor tags with the class 'aclass' rather than the one with the span with 'Hello' text.
I hope I worded my question clearly. Please feel free to edit if necessary.
In your attempt, // goes back to the root of the document - effectively you are saying "Give me the as for which there is a span anywhere in the document", which is why you get them all.
What you need is the descendant axis :
//a[#class='aclass' and descendant::span[text() = 'Hello']]
Note I have joined the conditions with and, but two separate conditions would also work.
I have a html like:
...
<div class="grid">
"abc"
<span class="searchMatch">def</span>
</div>
<div class="grid">
<span class="searchMatch">def</span>
</div>
...
I want to get the div which not contains text,but xpath
//div[#class='grid' and text()='']
seems doesn't work,and if I don't know the text that other divs have,how can I find the node?
Let's suppose I have inferred the requirement correctly as:
Find all <div> elements with #class='grid' that have no directly-contained non-whitespace text content, i.e. no non-whitespace text content unless it's within a child element like a <span>.
Then the answer to this is
//div[#class='grid' and not(text()[normalize-space(.)])]
You need a not() statement + normalize-space() :
//div[#class='grid' and not(normalize-space(text()))]
or
//div[#class='grid' and normalize-space(text())='']
I am newbie here. Please advise. How to select checkbox in my case?
<ul class="phrases-list" style="">
<li>
<input type="checkbox" class="select-phrase">
<span class="prase-title"> Dog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia </span>
(en.wikipedia.org)
<div class="prase-desc hidden">The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris or Canis familiaris) is a domesticated...</div>
</li>
The following doesn't work for me:
When /I check box "([^\"]+)"$/ do |label|
page.check(label)
end
step: And I check box "Dog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"
If you can change the html, wrap the input and span in a label element
<ul class="phrases-list" style="">
<li>
<label>
<input type="checkbox" class="select-phrase">
<span class="prase-title"> Dog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia </span>
</label>
(en.wikipedia.org)
<div class="prase-desc hidden">The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris or Canis familiaris) is a domesticated...</div>
</li>
which has the added benefit of clicks on the "Dog - Wikipedia ..." text triggering the checkbox too. With that change your step should work as written. If you can't modify the html then things get more difficult.
Something like
find('span', text: label).find(:xpath, './preceding-sibling::input').set(true)
should work, although I'm curious how you're using these checkboxes from JS with nothing tying them to any specific value
Let's assume that you are prevented from changing the HTML. In this case, it would probably be easiest to query for the element via XPath. For example:
# Here's the XPath query
q = "//span[contains(text(), 'Dog - Wikipedia')]/preceding-sibling::input"
# Use the query to find the checkbox. Then, check the checkbox.
page.find(:xpath, q).set(true)
Okay - it's not as bad as it looks! Let's analyze this XPath so we can understand what it's doing:
//span
This first part says "Search the entire HTML document and discover all "span" elements. Of course, there are probably a LOT of "span" elements in the HTML document, so we'll need to restrict this:
//span[contains(text(), 'Dog - Wikipedia')]
Now we're only searching for the "span" elements that contain the text "Dog - Wikipedia". Presumably, this text will uniquely identify the desired "span" element on the page (if not, then just search for more of the text).
At this point, we have the "span" element that is adjacent to the desired "input" element. So, we can query for the "input" element using the "preceding-sibling::" XPath Axis:
//span[contains(text(), 'Dog - Wikipedia')]/preceding-sibling::input
I have some weirdly formatted HTML files which I have to parse.
This is my Ruby code:
File.open('2.html', 'r:utf-8') do |f|
#parsed = Nokogiri::HTML(f, nil, 'windows-1251')
puts #parsed.xpath('//span[#id="f5"]//div[#id="f5"]').inner_text
end
I want to parse a file containing:
<span style="position:absolute;top:156pt;left:24pt" id=f6>36.4.1.1. варенье, джемы, конфитюры, сиропы</span>
<div style="position:absolute;top:167.6pt;left:24.7pt;width:709.0;height:31.5;padding-top:23.8;font:0pt Arial;border-width:1.4; border-style:solid;border-color:#000000;"><table></table></div>
<span style="position:absolute;top:171pt;left:28pt" id=f5>003874</span>
<div style="position:absolute;top:171pt;left:99pt" id=f5>ВАРЕНЬЕ "ЭКОПРОДУКТ" ЧЕРНАЯ СМОРОДИНА</div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:180pt;left:99pt" id=f5>325гр. </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:167.6pt;left:95.8pt;width:2.8;height:31.5;padding-top:23.8;font:0pt Arial;border-width:0 0 0 1.4; border-style:solid;border-color:#000000;"><table></table></div>
I need to select either <div> or <span> with id==5. With my current XPath selector it's not possible. If I remove //span[#id="f5"], for example, then the divs are selected correctly. I can output them one after another:
puts #parsed.xpath('//div[#id="f5"]').inner_text
puts #parsed.xpath('//span[#id="f5"]').inner_text
but then the order would be a complete mess. The parsed span have to be directly underneath the div from the original file.
Am I missing some basics? I haven't found anything on the web regarding parallel parsing of two elements. Most posts are concerned with parsing two classes of a div for example, but not two different elements at a time.
If I understand this correctly, you can use the following XPath :
//*[self::div or self::span][#id="f5"]
xpathtester demo
The XPath above will find element named either div or span that have id attribute value equals "f5"
output :
<span id="f5" style="position:absolute;top:171pt;left:28pt">003874</span>
<div id="f5" style="position:absolute;top:171pt;left:99pt">ВАРЕНЬЕ "ЭКОПРОДУКТ" ЧЕРНАЯ СМОРОДИНА</div>
<div id="f5" style="position:absolute;top:180pt;left:99pt">325гр.</div>
I am using Watir to write some tests for a web application. I need to get the text 'Bishop' from the HTML below but can't figure out how to do it.
<div id="dnn_ctr353_Main_ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ctl07_Field_048b9dfa-bc64-42e4-8bd5-b45385e5f45b_view" style="display: block;">
<div class="workprolabel wpFieldLabel">
<span title="Please select a courtesy title from the list.">Title</span> <span class="validationIndicator wpValidationText"></span>
</div>
<span class="wpFieldViewContent" id="dnn_ctr353_Main_ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ctl07_Field_048b9dfa-bc64-42e4-8bd5-b45385e5f45b_view_value"><p class="wpFieldValue ">Bishop</p></span>
</div>
Firebug tells me the xpath is:
html/body/form/div[5]/div[6]/div[2]/div[2]/div/div/span/span/div[2]/div[4]/div[1]/span[1]/div[2]/span/p/text()
but I cant format the element_by_xpath to pick it up.
You should be able to access the paragraph right away if it's unique:
my_p = browser.p(:class, "wpFieldValue ")
my_text = my_p.text
See HTML Elements Supported by Watir
Try
//span[#id='dnn_ctr353_Main_ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ctl07_Field_048b9dfa-bc64-42e4-8bd5b45385e5f45b_view_value']//text()
EDIT:
Maybe this will work
path = "//span[#id='dnn_ctr353_Main_ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ctl07_Field_048b9dfa-bc64-42e4-8bd5b45385e5f45b_view_value']/p";
ie.element_by_xpath(path).text
And check if the span's id is constant
Maybe you have an extra space in the end of the name?
<p class="wpFieldValue ">
Try one of these (worked for me, please notice trailing space after wpFieldValue in the first example):
browser.p(:class => "wpFieldValue ").text
#=> "Bishop"
browser.span(:id => "dnn_ctr353_Main_ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ctl07_Field_048b9dfa-bc64-42e4-8bd5-b45385e5f45b_view_value").text
#=> "Bishop"
It seems in run time THE DIV style changing NONE to BLOCK.
So in this case we need to collect the text (Entire source or DIV Source) and will collect the value from the text
For Example :
text=ie.text
particular_div=text.scan(%r{div id="dnn_ctr353_Main_ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ctl07_Field_048b9dfa-bc64-42e4-8bd5-b45385e5f45b_view" style="display: block;(.*)</span></div>}im).flatten.to_s
particular_div.scan(%r{ <p class="wpFieldValue ">(.*)</p> }im).flatten.to_s
The above code is the sample one will solve your problem.
