I have an xml file that looks as follows - link.
I would like to get the title from it.
In order to do so, I did the following:
Document bookDoc = Jsoup.connect( url ).parser( Parser.xmlParser() ).get();
Node node = bookDoc.childNode( 2 ).childNode( 3 ).childNode( 3 );
This returns me this:
Now I have 2 questions:
Isnt there any simpler way to get this title instead of using all of these childNodes? My worry is that in some result the title wont exactly be at childNode(3) and all my code wont work.
How do I eventually get this title? Im stuck at this point and cant get the string of the title.
Thank you
You can use selectors to access elements. Here you want to select by tag name. Two ways to get the element you want:
String title1 = bookDoc.select("record>display>title").text();
String title2 = bookDoc.selectFirst("record").selectFirst("display").selectFirst("title").text();
If you want to select more complicated things read:
https://jsoup.org/cookbook/extracting-data/dom-navigation
https://jsoup.org/cookbook/extracting-data/selector-syntax
But you probably won't need them for parsing this XML.

As you are able to see, I have used one dynamic xpath: //td[text()='Discharge Air']/following-sibling::td/span to go from zone1 until zone3, but when I am using gettext() to fetch only 100 but special character °F is also coming. Hence please suggest how to remove this special character °F, because I want only data 100 from this xpath? As you can see in the image, only 1 span is available, so I can't separate span also.
String s = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td[text()='Discharge Air']/following-sibling::td/span")).getText();
s.replace("°F","");//replace the °F with empty string
Instead of String, can i use List because all these xpath are of same type,hence directly i can write and afterwards i can use for loop for getText().
List s=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//td[text()='Discharge Air']/following-sibling::td/span"));
s.replace("°F","");
Thanks in advance,
List disch_Air = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//td[text()='Discharge Air']/following-sibling::td/span"));
for(int i=0;i<disch_Air.size();i++) {
System.out.println(disch_Air.get(i).getText().replace("°F", ""));
}
}
This is what i want and its working fine thank you so much guys for ur help
Use this:
//first find the elements and save it as you did (with the xpath you posted)
String s = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td[text()='Discharge Air']/following-sibling::td/span")).getText();
s.replace("°F","");//replace the °F with empty string
and if you see that there are still spaces on your string you can use this to remove them:
s.trim();
I have the following code snippet and the screenshot attached.
String query = "new UiScrollable(new UiSelector().className(\"androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView\"))" +
".scrollIntoView(new UiSelector().text(\"Test Group\"))";
driver.findElementByAndroidUIAutomator (query).click ();
What I want is to find an element with the text "Test Group" using UISelector, but inside the RecyclerView only (not searching the whole app source). What I get is the element inside search field instead (not in the RecyclerView).
Please advice. I know that I can get all searched elements using findElements(By.id("name")). But I want to use UI selector in this case.
With UiSelector you can use chaining:
String query = "new UiScrollable(resourseIdMatches(\".*recycler_view\")).scrollIntoView(resourseIdMatches(\".*recycler_view\")).childSelector(text(\"Text Group\")))";
In addition new UiSelector... part can be omitted. Appium does support this syntax.
I'm trying to automate my Test Cases using Selenium for an OBIEE application. Now, I need to read a value from a tabular report generated. The problem is, the ID of the last cell where the total is, keeps on changing.
For example- Currently the id is: db_saw_9270_6_1610_0.
After refreshing, the ID becomes something else. The 4 numbers in between (9270) changes. The remaining bit are the same. I'm using the following logic to capture this element:
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[contains(#id, '_6_1610_0')]")).getText();
But, it is returning org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to locate element:
Please tell me where did I go wrong and what should I do?
you can try starts-with and substring (as a substitute for xpath 2.0 methdod ends-with):
string xpath = "//*[starts-with(#id, 'db_saw_') and substring(#id, string-length(#id) - 8) = '_6_1610_0']"
driver.findElement(By.xpath(xpath)).getText();
You can try below xpath:-
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[starts-with(#id, 'db_saw')]")).getText();
driver.findElement(By.CSSselector("a[id*='_6_1610_0']")).getText();
Note: the a represents a html element. If your id is in a element then you have to replace a by table.

Im stuck parsing out the value "datetime" here:
<div class="job_date_added" itemprop="datePosted"><time datetime="2014-07-16">16.07.14</time></div>
What I am doing right now is:
Elements dateElement = element.select(".job_date_added [datetime]");
String timeAdded = dateElement.text();
Which returns: 16.07.14 (the german date format). When I want to write this to my DB it automatically screws up the Dates. So I want to access the value INSIDE - specifically "2014-07-16".
I tried to google this, but I'm having a hard time finding information, since I don't know how to call this part.
Thank you in advance.
If you want to get attribute of found element then use attr method, not text.
This should do what you want
String timeAdded = dateElement.attr("datetime");
I wanna get url by the link name.
download
ad
so what i want is the first url as the link name is download.
My question is how to get url by link name.
I know a complete solution is to get all elements and use if(a.text().contains(download) ). But I guess there is a simple way.
Thanks
Well, the best way would be to get all the < a>s, which contain hrefs, and get the hrefs attributes. Just like this:
Document doc = Jsoup.connect("whatever url").get();
Elements a = doc.select("a[href]");
String href;
for (Element elem : a) {
href = a.attr("href");
}
Now.. Which hrefs you wanna get is enterely up to you. But I think you'd have to use the
.contains("");
.endsWith("");
.startsWith("");
Oh, and maybe you could try using the getters from the doc variable.
.getElementsByAttributeValue("a[href]", "download");
Use a pseudo-selector. For example,
Document doc = Jsoup.connect(url).get();
Elements a = doc.select("a[href]:contains(download)");
Depending on what exactly you are trying to accomplish, you might want to use containsOwn to avoid searching within child elements, or use matches/matchesOwn if you want to use a regex to get elements that contain ONLY the text "download". That regex would be
^download$
