Before this is marked as a duplicate, I need the xpath expression and not the xquery expression. So this didn't help me: How to check IDREFS length in xPath
Also, I tried using id function as suggested here: xpath: contains() for a group of answers
but this only returns empty results for me.
I'm using the xml plugin for Notpad++, if that matters.
I have the next DTD definition
<!ELEMENT testNode EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST testNode
listOfNodes IDREFS #REQUIRED
bestNode IDREF #REQUIRED
>
when I get /testNode/#listOfNodes I have to check if there are more than one ref in listOfNodes. How can I do that ?
Thanks!
One possibility with xpaht-1.0 is:
Check how many separators (space) are in the attribute. This could be done by length of original string minus length of string without spaces.
string-length( testNode/#listOfNodes) - string-length( translate(/testNode/#listOfNodes,' ',''))
Therefore you test would be:
string-length( testNode/#listOfNodes) - string-length( translate(/testNode/#listOfNodes,' ','')) +1 > 1
To find occurrences of the attribute with only a single token, I'd use //testNode/#listOfNodes[not(contains(.,' ')] -- if I were condemned to work in an environment without validation, that would change to //testNode/#listOfNodes[not(contains(normalize-space(.),' ')]. To find occurrences with multiple IDREF tokens, remove the not().

I've below xml and would like to read the value of 'Value' tag whose Name matches 'test2'. I'm using the below xpath , but did not work. Can someone help.
/*[ local-name()='OutputData']/*[ local-name()='OutputDataItem']/*[ local-name()='Name'][normalize-space(.) = 'test2']//*[local-name()='Value']/text()
<get:OutputData>
<get:OutputDataItem>
<get:Name>test1</get:Name>
<get:Value/>
</get:OutputDataItem>
<get:OutputDataItem>
<get:Name>test2</get:Name>
<get:Value>B5B4</get:Value>
</get:OutputDataItem>
<get:OutputDataItem>
<get:Name>test3</get:Name>
<get:Value/>
</get:OutputDataItem>
<get:OutputDataItem>
<get:Name>OP_VCscEncrptCd_VAR</get:Name>
<get:Value/>
</get:OutputDataItem>
</get:OutputData>
Thanks
You were close, but because the get:name and get:value are siblings, you need to adjust your XPath a little.
Your XPath was attempting to address get:value elements that were descendants of get:name, rather than as siblings. Move the criteria that is filtering the get:name into a predicate, then step down into the get:value:
/*[ local-name()='OutputData']/*[ local-name()='OutputDataItem']
[*[ local-name()='Name'][normalize-space(.) = 'test2']]/*[local-name()='Value']/text()
You could also combine the criteria of the predicate filter on the get:name and use an and:
/*[ local-name()='OutputData']/*[ local-name()='OutputDataItem']
[*[ local-name()='Name' and normalize-space(.) = 'test2']]/*[local-name()='Value']/text()
This should work I think:
//*[local-name()="get:Name" and text()="test2"]/following-sibling::*[local-name()="get:Value"]/text()
In my XML I have elements
<driverConfig name="ADriver">
...
</driverConfig>
<driverConfig name="BDriver">
...
</driverConfig>
Is there a way how to select all value of sub-element. Problem is I can modify just first name in this expression which I already tried but with no success:
//driverConfig[#name="*Driver"]/fd:properties/fd:property[#name="path"]
With XPath 2.0 you can do //driverConfig[ends-with(#name, 'Driver')]/fd:properties/fd:property[#name="path"] respectively //driverConfig[matches(#name, 'Driver$')]/fd:properties/fd:property[#name="path"].
With XPath 1.0 you can use //driverConfig[substring(#name, string-length(#name) - 5) = 'Driver']/fd:properties/fd:property[#name="path"].
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
I would like to find the value of an element matched on id attribute for which I only have the ref - the bit with #, the anchor.
I am looking for the value of partyId:
< party id="partyA" >
< partyId >THEID< /partyId >
but to get there I only have the href from the following
< MyData >
< MyReference href="#partyA" />
Strip the # sign does not look good to me.
Any hints?
Because you haven't provided complete XML documents, I have to use // -- a practice I strongly recommend to avoid.
Suppose that
$vDataRef
is defined as
//MyData/MyReference/#href
and its string value is "#partyA", then one possible XPath expression that selects the wanted node is:
//party[#id=substring($vDataRef,2)]
In case the XML document has a DTD in which the id attribute of party is defined to be of type ID, then it is more convenient and efficient to use the standard XPath function id():
id(substring($vDataRef,2))
Assuming you have your ID as a variable already (lets say $myId), then try using:
//party[contains($myId, #id)]
The contains() function will look to see on each matching node whether or not the partyId attibute is in the value that you pass in.
Alternatively (as that could be considered 'ropey'), you can try:
//party[#id=substring($myId, 2, 1 div 0)]
the substring() function should be a little more precise.
I have the following xml snippet
<ZMARA01 SEGMENT="1">
<CHARACTERISTICS_01>X,001,COLOR_ATTRIBUTE_FR,BRUN ÉCORCE,TMBR,French C</CHARACTERISTICS_01>
<CHARACTERISTICS_02>X,001,COLOR_ATTRIBUTE,Timber Brown,TMBR,Color Attr</CHARACTERISTICS_02>
</ZMARA01>
I am looking for an xpath expression that will match based on COLOR_ATTRIBUTE. It will not always be in CHARACTERISTIC_02. It could be CHARACTERISTIC_XX. Also I don't want to match COLOR_ATTRIBUTE_FR. I have been using this:
Transaction.Input_XML{/ZMAT/IDOC/E1MARAM/ZMARA01/*[starts-with(local-name(.), 'CHARACTERISTIC_')][contains(.,'COLOR_ATTRIBUTE')]}
This gets me mostly there but it matches both COLOR_ATTRIBUTE and COLOR_ATTRIBUTE_FR
Use:
contains(concat(',', ., ','), ',COLOR_ATTRIBUTE,')
This first surrounds the string value of the context node with commas, then simply tests if the so cunstructed string contains ',COLOR_ATTRIBUTE,'.
Thus we treat all cases (pattern at the start of the string, pattern at the end of the string and pattern neither at the start or at the end) in the same single way.
If COLOR_ATTRIBUTE is guaranteed not to be in the first or last position, you could use [contains(.,',COLOR_ATTRIBUTE,')], otherwise you could use something like [contains(.,'COLOR_ATTRIBUTE') and not contains(.,'COLOR_ATTRIBUTE_FR')].
