Can you give a suggestion(please see pic) how can I check if selectIndicator is present on one block then I should choose another one. I know how to check if that element isPresent on whole page, but I need to find if it present on particular element. In my example I have Living Room chosen, and I need to check if DVR not chosen -choose that one. Any idea how can I do it? I was trying to check this way, but no luck:
WebElement element= driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("First element").findElementByAccessibilityId("Second element");

If I am not getting you wrong you want to implement a self defined data structure for an appropriate solution. That could be something similar to this :
public class DVRList {
//declare components required to comprise one item
private String dvrOptionText ;
private boolean dvrOptionCheck ;
// implement setter..getter for these two
}
...in some method set the value using the logic
DVRList dvrlist = new DVRList();
WebElement parentOfBoth = driver.findElement(By.xpath("
//android.widget.RelativeLayout[1]/android.widget.RelativeLayout[1]");
String text = parentOfBoth.findElementByAccessibilityId("First element").getText();
dvrlist.setdvrOptionText(text);
if(isElement(parenOfBoth.findElementByAccessibilityId("Second element"))
dvrlist.setdvrOptionCheck(true);
else dvrlist.setdvrOptionCheck(false);
and thereafter you can use these parameters accordingly.
Note : Parameters and approach are generalised and should be modified for serving the exact purpose.

i'm hoping you can help me.
I've been going through all sorts of forums and questions on here on how to cycle through multiple divs with the same class name using xpath queries. I'm fairly new to WebDriver and Java so I'm probably not asking the question properly.
I have a table where i'm trying to identify the values within and ensure they're correct. each field has the same class identifier, and i'm able to successfully pull back the first result and confirm via report logging using the following
String className1 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//div[#class='table_class'])")).getText();
Reporter.log("=====Class Identified as "+className1+"=====", true);
However, when i then try and cycle through (I've seen multiple answers saying to add a [2] suffix to the xpath query) i'm getting a compile error:
String className2 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//div[#class='table_class'])")[2]).getText();
Reporter.log("=====Class Identified as "+className2+"=====", true);
The above gives an error saying "The type of the expression must be an array type but it resolved to By"
I'm not 100% sure how to structure this in order to set up an array and then cycle through.
Whilst this is just verifying field labels for now, ultimately i need to use this approach to verify the subsequent data that is pulled through, and i'll have the same problem then
You are getting the error for -
String className2 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//div[#class='table_class'])")[2]).getText();
because you are using index in wrong way modify it to -
String className2 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//div[#class='table_class'])[2]")).getText();
or
String className2 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//div[#class='table_class'][2])")).getText();
And the better way to do this is -
int index=1;
List <WebElement> allElement = driver.findElements(By.xpath("(//div[#class='table_class'])"));
for(WebElement element: allElement)
{
String className = element.getText();
Reporter.log("=====Class Identified as "+className+""+index+""+"=====", true);
index++
}
I am trying to write an automation step which clicks on a link, the locator which I need to use to target the link is matching to the end of the title attribute, the reason being there may be multiple links of the same type, some of which will be named the same, this section of the title I am looking at is the only bit within these links guaranteed to be unique (not my call, this is an existing system in place I am writing tests for). I have no issue finding the locator of the link using this method.
Note: some elements of the code have been amended due to data security restrictions of my employer.
#FindBy(css = "#id .Content form > a[title$='12345678']")
WebElement linkName;
However the reference number at the end of the title that I'm looking for may change, depending on other data inputs, and it will be used in multiple places thorughout my automation suite, so what I am trying to do is store that number as a String at the very start of the suite and have the locator, and any other areas which need it, reference it, which is where my trouble begins. I seem to be unable to get the locator to work referencing the string.. When I try this I keep getting errors, usually syntax errors.
#FindBy(css = "#id .Content form > a[title$='%s']", titleVariable)
WebElement linkName;
I have tried rearranging this multiple times but can't seem to get it into a working format. Any suggestions would be welcome.
I apologise if this seems unclear, As stated above due to the nature of my employers business I can't give too many specifics due to data security restrictions so have had to explain things in a more round about way than I could have.
first of all, u must have to use constant variable here. so use code like below:
final String titleVariable = "ur title";
#FindBy(css = "#id .Content form > a[title$='"+titleVariable+"']")
WebElement linkName;
If you have WebDriver object in this class you can do this:
String titleVariable = "Your Title";
String cssSelector = "#id .Content form > a[title$='" + titleVariable + "']";
WebElement linkName = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(cssSelector));
I'm automating our application using Selenium 2.0 and Java. I would like to get a clearer understanding how can I overcome the problem with generating random ID for my WebElement and then click on it.
I have a list of elements in my drop down that all differs only in endings:
driver.findElement(By.id(""uxMiniFinderVoyageSelect_chzn_o_1")
driver.findElement(By.id(""uxMiniFinderVoyageSelect_chzn_o_2")
driver.findElement(By.id(""uxMiniFinderVoyageSelect_chzn_o_3")
driver.findElement(By.id(""uxMiniFinderVoyageSelect_chzn_o_4")
and so on till 250.
What I did is I called Random class where I declared a random variable within the range 1 to 250
Random random = new Random();
int x = random.nextInt(250) + 1;
Now I'm searching for my element this way
private WebElement cruiseSailing = driver.findElement(By.id("uxMiniFinderVoyageSelect_chzn_o_" + x));
That's all OK and is working as expected. The problem I'm facing is sometimes error message appears after selecting some of those elements from drop down. According to my test case, I need to catch this error, capture the screenshot and choose another element from the drop down. But once I set up cruiseSailing element, it chooses the same element over and over.Please see code example below:
private WebElement cruiseSailingDropDown = driver.findElement(By.id(Some ID));
private WebElement errorMessage = driver.findElement(By.xpath("some xpath expression"));
private WebElement cruiseSailing = driver.findElement(By.id("uxMiniFinderVoyageSelect_chzn_o_" + x));
cruiseSailingDropDown.click();
cruiseSailing.click();
Thread.sleep(2000);
if(errorMessage .isDisplayed){
System.out.printLn("Error message is displayed")
cruiseSailingDropDown.click();
cruiseSailing.click();
}else{
proceed further to the next step
Please advise how can I generate another ID for my cruiseSailing webelement.
The reason why it is choosing the same element again in case of failure is you are not reassigning the cruiseSailing value to new one .
There are 2 ways which i can think of :
Assign a new value to cruiseSailing inside the "If" block. You can do something as below inside "If" block.
cruiseSailing = driver.findElement(By.id("uxMiniFinderVoyageSelect_chzn_o_" + x));
Call the Orignial method again which sets cruiseSailing value to new value.
Note: You might want to remove below lines from If block if you are going on with 2nd approach.
cruiseSailingDropDown.click();
cruiseSailing.click();
For Taking screenshot you can create a method and call it inside If block.
Code for taking screenshot
File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
// Now you can do whatever you need to do with it, for example copy somewhere
FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File("c:\\error\\screenshot.png"));

I am creating a KML document in Java. Inside of it i have to add many similar elements, resulting in the need to add a function, where I can pass needed arguments.
The problem is that when I try to add a part of the document into the main document it shows error, or creates malformed document.
Here's a code snippet:
Element style = doc.createElement("Style");
style.setAttribute("id", "green");
dnode.appendChild(style);
Element polyStyle = doc.createElement("PolyStyle");
style.appendChild(polyStyle);
Element color = doc.createElement("color");
color.appendChild(doc.createTextNode("5014F064"));
polyStyle.appendChild(color);
Element iconStyle = doc.createElement("IconStyle");
style.appendChild(iconStyle);
color = doc.createElement("color");
color.appendChild(doc.createTextNode("5014F064"));
iconStyle.appendChild(color);
Element "dnode" is a Document element inside xml. I want to try something like this:
doc.appendChild(addFeatureStyle("red", "501400FA"));
Called three times with different parameters but have no idea how to include it. I want to add function written above, calling the code snippet.
Should the function "addFeatureStyle" return element, or a string, or something else?
I'm not sure I understand your question, but I'll try to answer:
Should the function "addFeatureStyle" return element, or a string, or something else?
You're calling the method appendChild() with the value returned by addFeatureStyle("red", "501400FA") as argument.
The documentation of appendChild() shows that it takes a Node as argument. So the return type of addFeatureStyle() can't be a String: String doesn't implement the Node interface. The return type of addFeatureStyle() must be Node, or a class implementing Node, or an interface extending Node.
Good Afternoon,
So I am trying to Copy some text from a field so I can paste it somewhere else in my test.
public static void validateTestCaseCreated(){
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='mainForm:testTitle']")).click();
Action builder;
Actions copy = new Actions(driver);
copy.sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL + "a");
copy.sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL + "c");
builder = copy.build();
builder.perform();
The problem when it reaches line 6 it only sends c, it ignores the CONTROL. So my end result is not copying the text but highlighting the text then entering c.
You could just copy the value from the text field into a variable and store it for use later.
Pull it from the page using your code along with the get attribute method.
String valueInField = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='mainForm:testTitle']")).getAttribute("value");
That will grab the text from the field and put it into the variable for later use.
I'm not sure if this is doing fully what you are trying to do, seeing as you are trying to do a crtl+c, but this method is how to grab text using webdriver.
If your field is an input element, maybe you can do something like this instead:
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='mainForm:testTitle']")).click().get_attribute("value");
