I have an XML like that:
<tr class="TREven">
<td class="Col0">
<span>
<b>Diary Compliance:</b>
Number of Daily Reports completed
<br/>
<i>
* Must be
<u>24</u>
or more
</i>
</span>
</td>
<td class="Col1">
<span class="Red">4 - Not eligible</span>
</td>
</tr>
I don't know how to select "4 - Not eligible" base on my input text (Diary Compliance: Number of Daily Reports completed * Must be 24 or more) which is contained by many child nodes of span before.
Could you help me?
Thanks,
This is alse my trouble
I often use this xpath to get element on cell 2 base on element on cell 1 in a row table like him:
//span[contains(text(),'Diary Compliance: Number of Daily Reports completed * Must be 24 or more')]/../..//span[contains(text(),'4 - Not eligible')]
It's ok until I get trouble when element on cell 1 has lot of format node, I can't pass my exactly text to element on cell 1. In my case, I must use exactly text, not contains text.

Trying to get a Cypress script to click a hyperlink based on two values - the text of the hyperlink in column 1 and the value of the cell in the second column:
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Anything</td>
<td>Casualty</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Declined Prospect</td>
<td>Casualty</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Declined Prospect</td>
<td>Package</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Declined Prospect</td>
<td>Casualty</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Irrelevant</td>
<td>Package</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
cy.get('a').contains('Declined Prospect').click()
fails because there's more than one hyperlink with that value. The id is not useful because it's dynamic.
In the example above, I want to click Declined Prospect when the second column is Casualty (but the order of the rows may vary and values in the first and second column are repeated - but only once for the combination).
Any thoughts?
The trick is to target <td>Casualty</td> then click the preceding <td><a>.
There are quite a few ways to get to sibling elements, the simplest in this case is prev().
cy.contains('td', 'Casualty') // target the 'marker' element
.prev() // move to the previous sibling
.click()
Approach from row and move inwards
To target a row with a specific combination of text in some of it's cells, just concatenate the text and use contains().
cy.contains('tr', 'Declined Prospect Casualty') // target unique text within children
This even works when there are other cells with text that's not relevent to the search, e.g
<tr>
<td>Declined Prospect</td>
<td>Casualty</td>
<td>Irrelevent text here</td>
</tr>
Then you can walk down the HTML tree,
cy.contains('tr', 'Declined Prospect Casualty') // target unique text within children
.find('td a') // descendant of previous subject
.click()
I think this can be useful: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-xpath
You can create selectors in xpath instead of css and in xpath you can search tree by text. e.g:
cy.xpath("//text() = 'Declined Prospect'")
==================================Edited====================
You can merge couples of xpatch selectors: it will looks like this //tr[td='Casualty']/td/a
Playgroud
I have a situation where the data is a mix of these format on the same page. In other words, some rows will show up as:
some lengthy XPATH_X uptill here:
<td/>
<td>
I Need this element td
</td>
<td/>
<td/>
<td/>
<td/>
and a few other rows will show in this format:
the same lengthy XPATH_X uptill here:
<td/>
<td>
<span>
I Need this element span
</span>
</td>
<td/>
<td/>
<td/>
<td/>
Please note that there are no differentiating attributes for each of the td tags. I need to select the second row (td) in both the cases.
I'm trying to catch both of the elements using the following xpath:
XPATH_X/*[self::td[position()=2] or self::td[position()=2]/span]
I tried this out on the page but for some reason it doesn't select anything.
Can someone please help me out with this? I've spent more than 2 hours on this already.
You should try XPATH_X/td[2]//text() to retrieve the text whether it's at the root of the td or in a child tag
You can test it here ; in this test I retrieve three results :
the text inside a span inside a td
the text at the root of a td
both the texts at the root of a td and inside the enclosed span (if this doesn't work for you and the text of the td should be retrieved only if there's no span, use XPATH_X/td[position()=2 and not(./span)]/text() | XPATH_X/td[2]/span/text() instead)
To retrieve the elements containing text nodes rather than the text node themselves, you can use the following :
XPATH_X/td[2]//self::node()[text()]
I have such DOM structure:
<td>
<div class="name">Max</div>
</td>
<td>Sales Officer</td>
<td>mail#mail.com</td>
<td class="links">
<a class="edit" href="/edit"><i class="second"></i>Edit Profile</a>
</td>
The main goal is to click on Edit button for particular user. And I have different users (they are in another rows of table).
I need to get xpath which contains the combination of name Max and text Edit Profile.
The main problem for me that both elements are in sibling td tags.
I've never written anything similar before.
//a[text()='Max'] //i[text()='Edit Profile']
What should I add between this to xpathes?
This one should do the trick:
//td[a="Max"]/following-sibling::td/a[.="Edit Profile"]
My query is I need to click on the first edit link on the table. The table has 7 columns and rows will be incremented dynamically.
HTML Code for first row:
<tr role="row" class="odd">
<td>
<form method="GET" target="_blank" action>...</form>
<td> ALLOCATION CHANGE</td>
<td class="right"></td>
<td> SATTER, KRAIG</td>
<td> CAFEMANAGER1</td>
<td class="sorting_1">03/08/2016 17:00</td>
<td class="edit_icon" id="edit_1088" onclick="on EditClick(1088)">
<span class="view_icon" style="margin-left: 40%;"></span>
</td>
</tr>
Note: the ID of the edit button keep on changing as the row increments.
Mycode in cucumber -ruby -capybara
And /^I click on the Expresso image$/ do
find(:xpath, '//*[#id="l1row"]/span').click
find('tr:odd > td:edit_icon [id="edit_"] match: first').click
sleep 10
end
Error Message: invalid selector: An invalid or illegal selector was specified
Update based on the posted HTML -
Note: Your first <td> isn't closed, I'm assuming thats just an error when you were adding the HTML to the question.
So from the HTML posted you don't actually have an edit link you just have a td you need to click on - the one in the first row with an id beginning with "edit_" so
find('tr:first-child > td[id^="edit_"]').click
The attempt you posted in your question won't work because there is no such CSS selector as odd or edit_icon and find needs valid CSS selectors (or XPath if you specify XPath or set it as your default)
Previous Answer Based on the wording of the question:
If this is a table then you can do what you want with CSS and not worry about XPath.
find('tr:first-child > td:last-child [id^="edit_"]')
will find the element whose id starts with "edit_" in the last td in the first row. If your rows and columns are not actually a table you'll need to provide some example HTML of what you're talking about.
I already know the Text of an element in the table:
string title1 = Driver.FindElement(
By.XPath(
".//[#id='ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_BreakdownGridView_ctl02_TitleLabel']"
)).Text;
How do I verify if there's a second element in the table that has the same text as title1?
Here is my Table structure:
<tr class="alt" style="background-color:White;height:110px;">
<td>
<span id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_BreakdownGridView_ctl03_WindowStartLabel" tabindex="1">
01/13/2013
</span>
</td>
<td>
<span id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_BreakdownGridView_ctl03_ShowLabel" tabindex="1">
Leader of the Pack
</span>
</td>
<td>
<span id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_BreakdownGridView_ctl03_TitleLabel">
Love at First Bite
</span>
</td>
<td>
<span id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_BreakdownGridView_ctl03_PremiereLabel">
01/12/2013 22:00
</span>
</td>
...
</tr>
After getting title1 try implement logic something like below to find how many elements are there with the same text
int count=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//table[#id='urTable']//*[text()='"+title1+"']")).size();
Based on the count it is easy to find how many elements are there with same text.
In your table structure, doing an xpath query as below would select all the span tags.
//tr/td/span
Now, xpath can be used to select the span tags with specific text as follows:
//tr/td/span[text() = "Text you're matching against"]
/* in your case*/
//tr/td/span[text() = title1]
This is to get spans consist that text....(partial match)
int count= driver.FindElements(
By.XPath(
".//span[contains(text(),'"+titleOneText+"')]"
)).size();
This is to get spans text is same....(full match)
int count= driver.FindElements(
By.XPath(
".//span[text()='"+titleOneText+"']"
)).size();
Based on your question if same xpath value having 2 elements. Just see the static value of particular element and take as xpath. it will work definitely. for example
save & cancel button having same xpath value
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id='id_sav']")-save
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[#id='id_sav']")-cancel
here we can use static element value
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[text()='save']")-save
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[text()='cancel']")-cancel
