Actually its not a button ( it acts as a button) but a text(i.e a domain name) where when a user click on it, it will go to next section .
This is the html:
<div id="domainCon2TitleLabel" class="tLabel">
<span>qa.xyz.com</span>
</div>
I have tried giving the xpath as
wd.findElement(By.xpath("//span[contains(text(),'qa.xyz.com')]")).click();
but showing error as
Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//span[contains(text(),'qa.xyz.com')]"}
can any let me know how to identify the xpath for that span.
Try the xpath expression:
//*[text()[contains(.,'qa.xyz.com')]]

I have this piece of HTML and I'm trying to select the <a href> link using xpath.
<li class="footable-page-nav" data-page="next" aria-label="next"><a class="footable-page-link xh-highlight" href="#">›</a></li>
I need the selector to be reasonably specific since "footable-page-link" exists in multiple places in the HTML.
I've tried this:
//li[#class='footable-page-nav']/a[#class='xh-highlight']//#href
Selenium throws an error: selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException
If I shorten the xpath expression to //li[#class='footable-page-nav'] just to see if I'm on the right track then I get
selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable: element has zero size
What am I missing?
Try changing your xpath expression to
//li[#class='footable-page-nav']/a[contains(#class,'xh-highlight')]//#href
and see if it works.
Hi I have this element from a dropdown menu I try to select:
<div class="tt-suggestion tt-selectable">
<strong class="tt-highlight">Auto Customer</strong>
</div>
If I use element(by.xpath("//strong[contains(text(),'Auto Customer')]")).click(); I can select it no problem. But if I use element(by.xpath("//*[contains(text(),'Auto Customer')]")).click(); I get "Failed: element not visible"
Can someone explain this to me please?
Thank you
Because the * in //*[contains(text(),'Auto Customer')] means any tag, not only the strong Tag. But //strong[contains(text(),'Auto Customer')] must be strong Tag.
//*[contains(text(),'Auto Customer')] should find more then one elements on page, and the first one is not visible. You can try this xpath in Chrome DevTool's Element Tab to see how many elements it can find and the first one is visible or not.
I am not able to click an arrow drop down filed in my application using selenium web driver.
I tried lot of XPath using class name and relative XPath
This is the code used for the problem
<span class="dijitReset dijitInline dijitIcon pentaho_dijitEditorIconExport"
data-dojo-attach-point="iconNode"></span>
Please add some more information from your HTML i just add some text and xpaths are like that
<span class="dijitReset dijitInline dijitIcon pentaho_dijitEditorIconExport"
data-dojo-attach-point="iconNode">test</span>
Xpaths are:
//span[#class='dijitReset dijitInline dijitIcon pentaho_dijitEditorIconExport']
or
//span[#data-dojo-attach-point='iconNode']
or
//span[#data-dojo-attach-point='iconNode' and #class='dijitReset dijitInline dijitIcon pentaho_dijitEditorIconExport']
Add some more informaton if you have any concern
dojo combo are basically <input type= "text">, once u click on it or type the first letter of the option you want to select, a <div> is attached to the html body which has following structure:-
<div resultname="option name" resultvalue="option value" class="dojoComboBoxItem dojoComboBoxItemEven ">Option Value</div>
now there are 3 steps to select from dojo
identify the input text
type the first few letters of the option you want to select
create dynamic xpath to select the option
the code goes as followes
String optionName = "Option You Want to Select";
WebElement dojoBox = driver.findElement(By.xpath("<provide the xpath here>"));
dojoBox.sendKeys(optionName.substring(0,2));
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='page-home']/span/div[#resultvalue='" + optionName + "']")).click();
if you are not sure about the dynamic xpath structure, then manually select the option, and inspect the div you have added, generally it should have the similar structure.
Using Selenium IDE, I'm trying to click a button within a table on a webpage using XPath with a partial id and a title from the element. The XPath I'm using is:
xpath=//*[contains(#id, 'ctl00_btnAircraftMapCell')]//*[contains(#title, 'Select Seat')]
and thats the entire html code for an example of the buttons im trying to click:
<li id="ctl00_MainContent_repAircraftMap_ctl20_repAircraftMapRow_ctl00_liAircraftMapCell" class="">
<a id="ctl00_MainContent_repAircraftMap_ctl20_repAircraftMapRow_ctl00_btnAircraftMapCell" href="javascript:void(0)" seatnumber="20A" mapbindattribute="1124" title="Select Seat 20A" onclick="SeatClick(1124);"></a>
</li>
Am I constructing this incorrectly? It's not working!
Now that you have provided your HTML sample, we're able to see that your XPath is slightly wrong. While it's valid XPath, it's logically wrong.
You've got:
//*[contains(#id, 'ctl00_btnAircraftMapCell')]//*[contains(#title, 'Select Seat')]
Which translates into:
Get me all the elements that have an ID that contains ctl00_btnAircraftMapCell. Out of these elements, get any child elements that have a title that contains Select Seat.
What you actually want is:
//a[contains(#id, 'ctl00_btnAircraftMapCell') and contains(#title, 'Select Seat')]
Which translates into:
Get me all the anchor elements that have both: an id that contains ctl00_btnAircraftMapCell and a title that contains Select Seat.
I am using WatiN to test an autocomplete drop down.
When a user types in the field after 3 characters have been entered jquery autocomplete is triggered and an un-ordered list is shown. It is mandatory for the user to select from the list.
I am unable to make a selection/trigger the autocomplete from the list using WatiN.
Here is some of the html the developers have used:
<ul class="ui-autocomplete ui-menu ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all" role="listbox" aria-activedescendant="ui-active-menuitem" style="z-index: 1; display: block; width: 275px; top: 301px; left: 262px; ">
<li class="ui-menu-item" role="menuitem"><a class="ui-corner-all" tabindex="-1">ABC DEFGHIJ </a></li>
<li class="ui-menu-item" role="menuitem"><a class="ui-corner-all" tabindex="-1">ABC KLMNOPQ </a></li>
</ul>
They are using the jQuery UI autocomplete widget: http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/
Googling for jQuery UI autocomplete testing, I found this Stack Overflow Q&A:
Testing JQuery autocomplete ui with cucumber
containing what seemed to be the crucial information: “You need to first trigger a mouseover, then a click”
Then I Googled for WatiN mouseover, and found http://blogs.telerik.com/testing/posts/08-05-29/how_to_select_radcombobox_item_with_watin.aspx
This has a little code sample that includes:
Div divStudent3 = ie.Div(Find.ById("idRadComboBox_c2"));
divStudent3.FireEvent("onmouseover");
divStudent3.Click();
(to be clear our development code does not use telerik controls this is just an example)
At this point I thought I had a plan for how to drive this:
Type part of the desired value into the field (e.g. “ABC”)
Find a <ul> element with class “ui-autocomplete” and display style “block”, waiting until it is present
Within that <ul> element, find the <li> element whose text is the desired value (e.g. “ABC DEFGHIJ”)
Fire the “onmouseover” event on that <li> element
Click the <li> element.
I found two problems: firstly, that WatiN’s typing into the input field was very bad at triggering the appearance of the autocomplete menu,
and secondly that clicking on the menu item isn’t causing the autocomplete to occur.
I found that sending a downarrow key event to the input field encouraged the menu to appear, but didn’t cause the top menu item to highlight
(whereas if you type in manually and hit down arrow it does). Getting the menu item properly activated
(including getting its ID set to ui-active-menuitem) may be the missing link here.
Can anyone help me to understand and solve the two problems I have mentioned?
It took a bit, but here is a working example.
Key points
Call the JQuery object search method. This gets the dropdown list
to show.
then fire onmouseover the item you want.
Then click the item you want.
To get it to select the item correctly, I've needed to do all three above in that specific order.
Code
string searchValue = "c";
string selectItem = "COBOL";
ie.GoTo("http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/default.html");
ie.TextField("tags").TypeText(searchValue);
ie.Eval(#"$('#tags').autocomplete('search')");
ie.List(Find.ByClass("ui-autocomplete ui-menu ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all")).ListItem(Find.ByText(selectItem)).Links[0].FireEvent("onmouseover");
ie.List(Find.ByClass("ui-autocomplete ui-menu ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all")).ListItem(Find.ByText(selectItem)).Links[0].Click();
The above works using Watin 2.1. It won't work on WatiN 2.0 RC. I didn't check the actual 2.0 release. 2.0 RC doesn't have the List and ListItem objects. Tested only on IE8.
I have also run into a similar problem in an application that I am testing. When I type in the textfield using TypeText, the characters get typed twice.
What we did is as follows.
string mySubStr = value.Substring(0, value.Length - 3);
datavalue.Value = mySubStr;
datavalue.AppendText(value.Substring(value.Length - 3, 3));
Thread.Sleep(500);
datavalue.KeyDown((char)System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Down);
datavalue.KeyDown((char)System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Enter);
where datavalue is a reference to the textfield and value is the value that is to be keyed in.
