I have the following source:
<p class="byline"><span class="attribute first">AUTHOR: </span>Stephen Butts<span class="attribute">DATE: </span><span class="monthText" style="margin-right:4px;">MAY</span>2015<span class="attribute">SUBJECT: </span>Options</p>
I want to use the XPath to grap the text/content of the AUTH: Stephen King. I've tried using the following but it doesn't work:
authors = tree.xpath('//span[#class="attribute first"]/text()', namespaces=ns)
How to do that?
You need a text of p, but not span. Try:
//p[#class="byline"]/text()[2]
or
//span[#class="attribute first"]/following-sibling::text()[1]

I'll try to explain again. I have to get the value Arizone but I'm only getting it via xpath. The element was mapped with: element :select_cad_state, "#uniform-id_state". I don't want to use xpath to get the value Arkansas, I want to use something like: select_state.send_keys(DATA[:cad_user][:_state]) ???..etc..etc..
I want to get the arizona value from the users.yml file and pass it as an argument in the front.

You are asking about option value, but from all your code it looks like you actually want to select based on the string contents of the option element (not the value). As I posted in my answer to your previous question this should just be
select_state.select(DADOS[:cad_user][:_state])
If that is not working for you please provide the error message it's giving you.
Following is the HTML:
<div class="ajaxcourseindentfix">

</div>
I need to fetch the following text from this HTML:
From Line 6 - or
From Line 7 - and
, declared major/minor in CPSC, CPEN, or CPEI
I am able to get the href [Course number: CPSC 254 etc...] with the following XPath:
# This xpath gives me all the tags followed by h3 and then I iterate through them in my script.
//div[#class='ajaxcourseindentfix']/h3/following-sibling::text()[2]/following-sibling::*
Update
And, then the text with the following XPath:
# This xpath gives me all the text after the h3 tag.
//div[#class='ajaxcourseindentfix']/h3/following-sibling::text()[2]/following-sibling::text()
I need to have these course name/prerequisite in the same way they are at URL 1.
In this approach I am getting all the HREF first, then all text. Is there a better way to achieve this? I don't want to iterate over 2 XPaths to get the HREF first, then Text and after that club them to form the prerequisite string.

Try to use below code to get required output:
div = soup.select("div.ajaxcourseindentfix")[0]
" ".join([word for word in div.stripped_strings]).split("Prerequisite: ")[-1]
The output is
'CPSC 253U or CPSC 254 and CPSC 351 , declared major/minor in CPSC, CPEN, or CPEI'
I want to get text "+12345" from this HTML
<p class="Test" ng-repeat="(k, wl) in partnerEditModel.td">
<span id="Test-update-12345" class="ng-binding">
+12345
<span class="err-message ng-binding">Error</span>
</span>
<a id="mibile" class="button" ng-click="remove(k)">
</p>
I have written "//p[#class='Test']/span but it matched "+12345Error" which I have just wanted "+12345" (I have not wanted "Error".)
Could you please tell me about how to write this xpath?
Try below XPath expression to get "+12345" only:
normalize-space(//span[#id="Test-update-12345"]/text()[1])
Try below code in robot framework
${var}= | Get Text | xpath=//span[span[#class='err-message ng-binding']]
Log | ${var}
Try using below:
xpath=//p[#class='Test']/span[1]
I am attempting to capture a line of text for an automated WebDriver test to use it in a comparison later on. However, I cannot find an XPath that will work with WebDriver. I have used the text() function before to capture text that is not in a tag, but in this instance that is not working. Here is the HTML, note that this text will never be the same, so I cannot use contains or similar functions.
<div id="content" class="center ui-content" data-role="content" role="main">
<div data-iscroll="scroller">
<div class="ui-corner-all ui-controlgroup ui-controlgroup-vertical" data-role="controlgroup">
<a class="ui-btn ui-corner-top ui-btn-hover-c" style="text-align: left" data-role="button" onclick="onDocumentClicked(21228772, "document.php?loan=********&folderseq=0&itemnum=21228772&pageCount=3&imageTypeName=1003 Application - Final&firstInitial=&lastName=")" href="#" data-corners="true" data-shadow="true" data-iconshadow="true" data-wrapperels="span" data-theme="c">
<span class="ui-btn-inner ui-corner-top">
<span class="ui-btn-text">
<img class="checkMark checkMark21228772 notViewedCompletely" width="15" height="15" title="You have not yet viewed this document." src="../images/white_dot.gif"/>
1003 Application - Final. (Jan 11 2012 5:04PM)
</span>
</span>
</a>
In this example, the text I am attempting to capture is: 1003 Application - Final. (Jan 11 2012 5:04PM)
I have inspected the element with Firebug and I have tried the following XPaths with no success.
html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div/div/a[1]/span/span
html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div/div/a[1]/span/span/text()
The WebDriver test is being written in C#.
You can either use this
driver.FindElement(By.XPath(".//div[#id='content']/following-sibling::span[#class='ui-btn-text']")
or
var elem = driver.FindElement(By.Id("Content"));
string text = string.Empty;
if(elem!=null) {
var textElem = elem.FindElement(By.Xpath(".//following-sibling::span[#class='ui-btn-text']"));
if(textElem!=null) text = textElem.Text();
}
I was able to solve this issue by removing the span tags from the XPath.
GetText("html/body/div[3]/div[2]/div/div/a[1]", SelectorType.XPath);
python webdriver code looks something like
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[#class='ui-btn-text']").text
But locator may be not uniqe, because I can't see all the code
PS Try to never use locators like html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div/div/a[1]/span/span
Approach:
Find the CSS Selector from the Given DOM
Derived CSS:css=#content div.ui-controlgroup > a[onclick*='onDocumentClicked'] > span > span
Use the C# Library Method to get the Text.
My HTML structure is
<div class="line">

The HTML page contains several <div class=line></div> elements. For each div i need to extract Phone and Fax in a array with other data. I tried using
doc.css("div#ctl00_cphContent_divBrowseByMember").each do |div|
div.css("div.line").each do |line|
line.xpath('//text()[preceding-sibling::br and following-sibling::a]').text.strip
end
end
It returns nothing and returns time out error.
If I try as
line.xpath('//text()[preceding-sibling::br and following-sibling::a]')[0].text.strip
will return same Phone and fax for all other divs. Please suggest any other solution that will help me.
The easy way:
phone, fax = line.text.scan /\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}/
