I'm quite new to this wonderfull tool that selenium is, and i'm trying to make some examples tests in my web app (html/JS).
I managed to select some (most) elements withtheir id with the command driver.findElement(By.id("elementId"));
but i'm unable to find some elements that do not have an id tag.
I tried these following lines without result, as i have have an
By.cssSelector("//img[#alt='smthg']")
By.xpath("//img[#src='path/to/img'")
a mix of the two aboce (alt and src in xpath and cssSelector
This element HTML code is
<img src="absolut/path/to/img.png" border="0" onclick="JSfunction(0)" alt="smthg" style="cursor: pointer;">
If somebody could help me, that would be very nice :)
Thanks, and have a good day !
You can use either of below
By.cssSelector("img[alt='smthg'][src*='path/to/img']");
or
By.xpath("//img[#alt='smthg' and contains(#src,'path/to/img')]")

I'm using Scapy to scrape some data from a site and I need help using Xpath to select "data" from the following.
<span class="result_item"><span class="text3"><span class="header_text3">**data**</span><br />
**data**<br />
**data**</span> <span class="phone_button_out"><span class="phone_button" style="margin-top: 0"
onclick="pageTracker._trackEvent('USDSearch','Call Now!F');phone_win.open('name','**data**',27101650,0)">
Call Now!<br />
</span></span>
What statements can I use to select the necessary data? I hope this isn't a stupid question. If it is, please point me in the right direction.
There are multiple data elements to get in the posted html. Assuming that <span class="result_item"> is parent of the items, you can try the following:
To get header:
//span[#class='result_item']/span[#class='header_text3']/text()
To get anchor link data:
//span[#class='result_item']/a/text()
Also, to help with xpaths, install Firebug Addon in Firefox, then FirePath addon on Firebug. Pointing to elements will give you autogenerated xpaths (good for beginners. sometime needs xpath tuning)
I´m working whith HTMLUnit, I need get text content of a HtmlAnchor but only text no more tags html have.
<a class="subjectPrice" href="http://www.terra.es/?ca=28_s&st=a&c=4" title="Opel Zafira Tourer 2.0 Cdti 165 Cv Excellence 5p. -12">
<span class="old_price">32.679€</span>
24.395€
If I execute htmlAnchor.getTextContent() it´s return 32.679€ 24.395€, but I only need 24.395€
Anybody can help me? thanks.
Just use XPath to get the appropriate DomText node. It seems that ./text() taking as a reference the HtmlAnchor should be enough.
Selenium Webdriver. Looking to Locate New Article from following code. Please note this is under an iframe.
<img class="rtbIcon" src="/icons/16/app/shadow/document_add.png" alt="">
<span class="rtbText">New Article</span>
I have tried to locate with xpath and many other ways. But following is what I get everytime
Code : driver.findElement(By.xpath("id('RadToolBar1'):div:div:div:ul:li[3]:a:span:span:span:span"));
Result:
The given selector id('RadToolBar1'):div:div:div:ul:li[3]:a:span:span:span:span is either invalid or does not result in a WebElement. The following error occurred:
New article has no name, id so please if some one can help find me solution.
Your xpath seems to be wrong. The best way to get the xpath for any element on a page is by installing mozilla add on - Fire Bug. You can inspect any element using this add on and also copy the correct xpath of your element present on the page.
This should be your xpath -
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#class='rtbText']"));
or
driver.findElement(By.linkText("New Article"));
One of these should work. Let me know if you face any problem.
So let's say my structure looks like this at some point:
..........
<td>
[...]
<input value="abcabc">
[...]
</td>
[...]
<td></td>
[...]
<td>
<input id="booboobooboo01">
<div></div> <=======I want to click this!
</td>
.........
I need to click that div, but I need to be sure it's on the same line as the td containing the input with value="abcabc". I also know that the div I need to click (which doesn't have id or any other relevant attribute I can use) is in a td at the same level as the first td, right after the input with id CONTAINING "boo" (dynamically generated, I only know the root part of the id). td's contain nothing relevant I can use.
This is what I tried as far as xpath goes:
//input[#value='abcabc']/../td/input[contains(#id,'boo')]/following-sibling::div
//input[#value='abcabc']/..//td/input[contains(#id,'boo')]/following-sibling::div
None of them worked, of course (element cannot be found).
I want to know if there's a way of selecting that div and how.
EDIT: //input[#value='abcabc']/../../td/input[contains(#id,'boo')]/following-sibling::div is the correct way. This was suggested by the person with the accepted answer. Also note that he offered a slightly different way of doing it. See his answer for details.
Try
//input[#value='abcabc']/ancestor::tr[1]/td/input[contains(#id,'boo')]/following-sibling::div[1]
Note that //input[#value='abcabc']/.. only goes up to the parent <td>, that's why your's did not work.
Another XPath that may work, is a bit more simple:
//input[#id='booboobooboo01']/../div[1]
Folks,
I have an image with the following HTML code:
<div unselectable="on" class="x-grid-cell-inner x-unselectable" style="; text-align: right;" id="ext-gen1453">
<img alt=""src="data:image/gif;base64,FRFRFR/GFFFFFFFFFF==" class="x-action-col-icon x-action-col-0 folder-action-add folder-action" data-qtip="Add New Music File" id="ext-gen1300">
When I click on the image it should open a pop up so that I can add new music file, I tried a few things but I am not able to click on that image. Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot
You can click on it by the class or a partial match of the class.
#browser.image(:class=>/folder-action-add folder-action/).click
Here is a list of the identifiers you can use for watir, I think it's mostly the same for watir-webdriver.
So far, you haven't got a consistent way of actually identifying the element. From what you've said in the comments, you've tried the 'text' attribute which doesn't exist, and the 'id' attribute which is auto generated and different every time.
You need to find a way of consistently identifying the element. It's usually preferable to use a semantic class on the element to make styling and testing easier and less brittle. You have a few classes declared, perhaps 'folder-action-add' expresses the intent of the button clearly? If not, you could add one such as 'add-music-file'.
Then you should be able to use watir to select an element by it's class, I'm not familiar with the syntax but at a guess, #browser.image(:class => 'add-music-file') might do the job.
