List <WebElement> elt2=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[contains#className,'textInputContainers']"));
Also tried the version below:
List< WebElement > elt2 = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[contains#id,'txt']"));
contains() is a function and so must have () around its arguments.
So change
//*[contains#className,'textInputContainers']
to
//*[contains(#className,'textInputContainers')]
Note: A more robust way to test for a class name within a #class attribute can be found here: Xpath: Find element with class that contains spaces

I have the following XPath :
//table[#class='ui-jqgrid-htable']/thead/tr/th//text()
And I'm trying to get the text from it with the following command :
String LabelName = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//table[#class='ui-jqgrid htable']/thead/tr/th//text()")).getText()
But it's not printing text, the result is blank. Could you help me please ?
The text() in your xpath does not qualify as an element. Your element ends at //table[#class='ui-jqgrid-htable']/thead/tr/th. Try using getText() for this XPath.
Also, a table would have many headers. Using findElement will only return the first one.
If you want to get all headers use
driver.findElements(By.xpath("//table[#class='ui-jqgrid-htable']/thead/tr/th"))
and loop through the list to getText of individual element.
I'm parsing through a HTML document and I need a class name of a div. I know a part of the class name (that never changes) but I need the full class name.
Here's the code I use:
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->loadHTMLFile('http://some_website.com');
$xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);
$classname_of_the_div=$xpath->query('//div[#class="part_of_the_class_name_that_never_changes"]');
When I var_dump() the $classname_of_the_div and $classname_of_the_div->item(0) the result is:
object(DOMNodeList)#3 (1) { ["length"]=> int(0) }
NULL
I know that $classname_of_the_div=$xpath->evaluate('string(//div[#class="part_of_the_class_name_that_never_changes"])'); gives me the content of the div but how do I get the full class name?
P.S.: The part of the classname is separated from the rest of the class name by white spaces, so it's not really a part of the class. The div has just several classes.
I mean the div has several class names like - I want to select it by "class2" for example and receive the
full class string including "class1 class2 class3"
Then, an XPath expression like
//div[#class="part_of_the_class_name_that_never_changes"]
will never yield a result, save for the situation that a particular div element only has one class, that is, the one "that never changes". That's because the XPath expression above means:
Select div elements that have a class attribute whose string value
exactly corresponds to "part_of_the_class_name_that_never_changes".
But imagine the following situation:
<div class="part_of_the_class_name_that_never_changes other_class1 other_class2"/>
Then, you would need to change the expression to:
//div[contains(#class,'part_of_the_class_name_that_never_changes')]/#class
The expression means:
Look for div elements that have a class attribute whose string
value contains the string
"part_of_the_class_name_that_never_changes" and return the attribute
value.
I need to know whether it is possible to use a datasource property in XPath Expression panel of XPath Match Configuration. For instance, if we have the following XML document:
<ns1:Ions>
<ns1:Ion>UI</ns1:Ion>
<ns1:IonType>X</ns1:IonType>
<ns1:StartDate>2010-05-10</ns1:StartDate>
</ns1:Ions>
<ns1:Ions>
<ns1:Ion>HH</ns1:Ion>
<ns1:IonType>RI</ns1:IonType>
<ns1:StartDate>1998-11-23</ns1:StartDate>
</ns1:Ions>
<ns1:Ions>
<ns1:Ion>CF</ns1:Ion>
<ns1:IonType>A</ns1:IonType>
<ns1:StartDate>2000-06-10</ns1:StartDate>
</ns1:Ions>
I need to evaluate to see whether a content of IonType is 'A' only if its sibling node, Ion, has a value of 'CF'. I was hoping to accomplish this by setting XPath Match Configuration as following:
XPath Expression (DataSourceInput#ION is 'CF')
declare namespace ns1='http://my.namespace.com';
//ns1:Ions[ns1:Ion[text()=${DataSourceInput#ION}]]/ns1:IonType/text()
Expected Results (DataSourceInput#ION_TYPE is 'A')
${DataSourceInput#ION_TYPE}
Running the test would result in SoapUI [Pro] to error the following, Missing content for xpath declare. If I replace ${DataSourceInput#ION} with an actual value, i.e. 'CF', the test works accordingly (I even tried place single quotes around ${DataSourceInput#ION}, but it didn't work).
Is there another way of accomplish this in SoapUI?
I try what you do and it works for me if I put single quotes around the property:
declare namespace ns1='http://my.namespace.com';
//ns1:Ions[ns1:Ion[text()='${DataSourceInput#ION}']]/ns1:IonType/text()
Did you check that testStep name is exactly DataSourceInput? If there are spaces in the TestStep name (i.e your testStep name is Data Source Input you have to put ${Data Source Input#ION}).
Anyway I give you another way to do so, you can add a testStep of type groovy script after the testStep where you are getting the <Ions>response, and check the assert here like follows:
// get xml holder
def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context);
def ionsHolder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder("IonsTestStepName#response");
// generate xpath expression
def xpathExpression = "//*:Ions[*:Ion[text()='" + context.expand('${DataSourceInput#ION}') + "']]/*:IonType/text()";
log.info xpathExpression;
// get the node value
def nodeValue = ionsHolder.getNodeValue(xpathExpression);
// check expected value
assert nodeValue == context.expand('${DataSourceInput#ION_TYPE}'),'ERROR IONS VALUE';
Hope this helps,
I've been through the xpath tutorials and checked many other posts, hence I'm not sure what I'm missing. I'm simply trying to find the following element by xpath:
<input class="t-TextBox" type="email" test-id="test-username"/>
I've tried many things, such as:
element = findElement(By.xpath("//[#test-id='test-username']"));
The error is Expression is not a legal expression.
I'm using Firefox on MacBook
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
element = findElement(By.xpath("//*[#test-id='test-username']"));
element = findElement(By.xpath("//input[#test-id='test-username']"));
(*) - means any tag name.
You should add the tag name in the xpath, like:
element = findElement(By.xpath("//input[#test-id='test-username']");
your syntax is completely wrong....you need to give findelement to the driver
i.e your code will be :
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
WebeElement element ;
element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//[#test-id='test-username']");
// your xpath is: "//[#test-id='test-username']"
i suggest try this :"//*[#test-id='test-username']"
You missed the closing parenthesis at the end:
element = findElement(By.xpath("//[#test-id='test-username']"));
Just need to add * at the beginning of xpath and closing bracket at last.
element = findElement(By.xpath("//*[#test-id='test-username']"));
You can use contains too:
element = findElement(By.xpath("//input[contains (#test-id,"test-username")]");
You haven't specified what kind of html element you are trying to do an absolute xpath search on. In your case, it's the input element.
Try this:
element = findElement(By.xpath("//input[#class='t-TextBox' and #type='email' and #test-
id='test-username']");
Correct Xpath syntax is like:
//tagname[#value='name']
So you should write something like this:
findElement(By.xpath("//input[#test-id='test-username']"));
I am trying to click an element that changes per each order like so
edit_div_123
edit_div_124
edit_div_xxx
xxx = any three numbers
I have tried using regex like so:
#driver.find_element(:css, "#edit_order_#{\d*} > div.submit > button[name=\"commit\"]").click
#driver.find_element(:xpath, "//*[(#id = "edit_order_#{\d*}")]//button").click
Is this possible? Any other ways of doing this?
You cannot use Regexp, like the other answers have indicated.
Instead, you can use a nifty CSS Selector trick:
#driver.find_element(:css, "[id^=\"edit_order_\"] > div.submit > button[name=\"commit\"]").click
Using:
^= indicates to find the element with the value beginning with your criteria.
*= says the criteria should be found anywhere within the element's value
$= indicates to find the element with with your criteria at the end of the value.
~= allows you to find the element based on a single criteria when the actual value has multiple space-seperated list of values.
Take a look at http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/the-30-css-selectors-you-must-memorize/ for some more info on other neat CSS tricks you should add to your utility belt!
You have no provided any html fragment that you are working on. Hence my answer is just based on the limited inputs provided your question.
I don't think WebDriver APIs support regex for locating elements. However, you can achieve what you want using just plain XPath as follows:
//*[starts-with(#id, 'edit_div_')]//button
Explanation: Above xpath will try to search all <button> nodes present under all elements whose id attribute starts with string edit_div_
In short, you can use starts-with() xpath function in order to match element with id format as edit_div_ followed by any number of characters
No, you can not.
But you should do something like this:
function hasClass(element, className) {
var re = new RegExp('(?:^|\\s+)' + className + '(?:\\s+|$)');
return re.test(element.className);
}
This worked for me
#driver.find_element(:xpath, "//a[contains(#href, 'person')]").click
