Selenium: Select child element with no parameters - java

due to the fact i'm using selenium for the first time i have a questin on selecting a child element without parameters.
I'm trying to get the child-div "element to be clicked" to perform a click.
Java:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.className("parent"));
WebElement element2 = element.findElement(By.xpath("/div/div/div")); // should be wrong
element2.click();
Given HTML-Code:
<div class="parent">
<div>
<div>
<div>element to be clicked</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

You can use
element.findElement(By.xpath("//div[text()='element to be clicked']"));
With RegEx
element.findElement(By.xpath("//div[matches(text(),'RegExExpression']"));

While there's nothing to identify directly, we can do something like this..
List<WebElement> divs = driver.findElements(By.tagname("div")); //This will return all div elements
Then we can try something unique to that div..
for(int i = 0; i < divs.size(); i++) {
if(divs.get(i).getText().equals("element to be clicked")) {
divs.get(i).click();
break;
}
}

Selenium check dynamic elements

Selenium/Java
the task is to get text of two possible elements: elem1 and elem2.
When Scenario A - elem1 is displayed, and the locator of elem2 doesn't exist. And vice versa.
My code:
public void checkTextInPopUp() {
List<WebElement> commonDiv= driver.findElements(By.xpath(".//*
[#id='CheckStockProductAvailabilityWidget']/div/div"));
if (commonDiv.size()>=1) {
addToCartStock.click();
} else {
System.out.println(driver.findElement(By.id("ajaxErrorMsg")).getText());
closeCheckStock.click();
}
}
My code is always work only in scenario1 and failed when element2 is dispayed, saying: unable to locate element2.
Elem1 html:
<div id="CheckStockProductAvailabilityWidget" class="dijitContentPane"
lang="en" controllerid="CheckStockProductAvailabilityController"
widgetid="CheckStockProductAvailabilityWidget"
dojotype="wc.widget.RefreshArea" style="">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span11">
<p id="ajaxErrorMsg" class="error-font-color">Price &
Availability Check cannot be executed for your order.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Elem2 html:
<div id="CheckStockProductAvailabilityWidget" class="dijitContentPane"
lang="en" controllerid="CheckStockProductAvailabilityController"
widgetid="CheckStockProductAvailabilityWidget"
dojotype="wc.widget.RefreshArea" style="">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span11">
<div class="row-fluid ">
<div class="span12">
Part# 00000
<br/>
<p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row-fluid space-bottom">
<div class="row-fluid ">
<div class="row-fluid mobile-inline-block">
Both elements have a common , and both returns "1" when getting element.size
I've found out the solution by using try and catch. Will see if it's an ideal one.
public void getStockPopUpMessage() {
try {
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='ajaxErrorMsg']"));
System.out.println("Stock displays: " +
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='ajaxErrorMsg']")).getText());
closeCheckStock.click();
} catch (NoSuchElementException e) {
System.out.println("No ajax");
dothis();
}
}
You can modify the code as below
Code:
public void checkTextInPopUp(){
WebElement rootElement=driver.findElement(By.id("CheckStockProductAvailabilityWidget"));
List<WebElement> element1List=rootElement.findElements(By.xpath(".//div[#class='span11']/p"));
if (element1List.size()==1) {
---Do your stuff----
addToCartStock.click();
} else {
System.out.println(rootElement.findElement(By.xpath(".//div[#class='span12']")).getText());
}
}
}
Details:
Find the Root WebElement. Since, this element always visible in both element 1 and element2 HTML
Element 1 may or may not be visible at a time. To avoid NoSuchElementException, find the element using findElements Method and store the element in List (You can find the element using the root element)
If the element 1 is found, then element 1 will be visible and element1 size will be 1.
If the element 1 is not found, then element 2 will be visible and
element 1 size will be 0.
logic can be added based on the element size condition
Updated Code:
List<WebElement> elementList=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//p[#id='ajaxErrorMsg']"));
//If the element 1 html is present, then element list size will be 1, else it will be 0.
if(elementList.size()>0){
//element 1 related stuff
---Do your stuff----
addToCartStock.click();
}
else{
//element 2 related stuff
System.out.println(rootElement.findElement(By.xpath(".//div[#class='span12']")).getText());
}
Simply use
#FindAll ({
#FindBy(locator elem1)
#FindBy(locator elem2)enter code here
})
private WebElement elementer code hereX;
FindAll annotation works with OR logic. It will find elem1 or elem2 and store it as a web element. Alternatively you can store it in a List of web element within your object repository.

Element is not clickable at point - other element would receive the click

I have an element on a website which looks like below
<div id="wrapperCategory" class="categoryItemWrapper">
<div class="panel panel-default panel-categoryItem text-center categoryItem disabledItem" ng-class="category.CategoryStyleClass" ng-click="setselectedProduct(productIndex,product,category); setselectedProductAmount(null);" title="Category">
<div class="panel-heading">
Category
</div>
<div class="panel-body">
Price
</div>
<div class="panel-footer availability" ng-class="category.AvailabilityStyleClass">
<span ng-bind-html="category.AvailabilityText">Avail</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I need to click on it to get forward. If I manually click on each of these divs or on span website goes forward but SeleniumWebdriver can't click any of them.
I tried click on span and on div with ng-click event buch each time i get an error:
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Element <div class="panel panel-default panel-categoryItem text-center categoryItem" ng-class="category.CategoryStyleClass" ng-click="setselectedProduct(productIndex,product,category); setselectedProductAmount(null);" title="Category"></div> is not clickable at point (619.2666625976562, 474.23333740234375). Other element would receive the click: <div style="top: 0;left: 0;bottom: 0;right: 0;position: fixed;pointer-events: auto !important;z-index: 10000;" id="cover-1526454140024"></div>
I don't get it.
Can I somehow check which element is clickable and which element overlaps this which I want to click (I dont'see any div with id="cover-1526454140024" in code of the website) ?
Updated:
Unfortunately it still doesn't work after your solutions.
The same exception when trying to click.
// try {
// Thread.sleep(1000);
// } catch (InterruptedException e) {
// e.printStackTrace();
// }
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) Mundial.driver;
js.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", categoryItem);
new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(categoryItem));
categoryItem.click();
List<WebElement> selects = driver.findElements(By.tagName("select"));
Select ticketsToSelect = new Select(selects.get(3));
ticketsToSelect.selectByValue("number:2");
It only works in case when I put sleep and scroll down manually. I don't get it.
As per your response :
You will have to scroll down to let the web element available to your script.For that you can use this code :
public static void scrollDown(WebDriver driver, String YoffSet){
JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
jse.executeScript(YoffSet);
}
here you can call this method anywhere from your code.
Then you can use this code to interact with the web element :
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("static ID")));
element.click();
I experienced lot of such issues, as Ankur says, use wait before click
WebElement seems_unclickable = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id(...
One of the way is ExpectedConditions commands
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("Yourid")));
More examples can be found at http://toolsqa.com/selenium-webdriver/wait-commands/
Try "scrollIntoView".
public void ScrollElementIntoView(IWebElement element)
{
var js = driver as IJavaScriptExecutor;
js.ExecuteScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView()", element);
}
I had the same issue and it was due to a having a non 100% zoom applied to the page body like:
body {
zoom: 90%;
}
Removing the css zoom fixed the issue.

get href value (WebDriver)

How do I get a value from href?
like this eg:
<div id="cont"><div class="bclass1" id="idOne">Test</div>
<div id="testId"><a href="**NEED THIS VALUE AS STRING**">
<img src="img1.png" class="clasOne" />
</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I need that value as string.
I've tried with this:
String e = driverCE.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#id='testId']")).getAttribute("href");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, e);
But just returns NULL value...
You have pointed your element to 'div' instead of 'a'
Try the below code
driverCE.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#id='testId']/a")).getAttribute("href");
If you got more than one anchor tag, the following code snippet will help to find all the links pointed by href
//find all anchor tags in the page
List<WebElement> refList = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
//iterate over web elements and use the getAttribute method to
//find the hypertext reference's value.
for(WebElement we : refList) {
System.out.println(we.getAttribute("href"));
}

Selenium driver - select the desired li item in the list

In a list of 8 Elements I would select the one that contains the search text in children div. I need this because the elements of the list changes order every time. Here I would like to select the one that contains the text "TITLE TO LISTEN". How do I scroll through the list and select the wish li?
Thanks in advance
Here one li:
...
<li id="3636863298979137009" class="clearfix" data-size="1" data-fixed="1" data-side="r">
<div class="userContentWrapper">
<div class="jki">
<span class="userContent">
TITLE TO LISTEN
</div>
<div class="TimelineUFI uiContainer">
<form id="u_0_b0" class="able_item collapsed_s autoexpand_mode" onsubmit="return window.Event && E" action="/ajax/ufi/modify.php" method="post" >
<input type="hidden" value="1" name="data_only_response" autocomplete="off">
<div class="TimelineFeedbackHeader">
<a class="ction_link" role="button" title="Journal" data-ft="{"tn":"J","type":25}" rel="dialog" href="/ajax/" tabindex="0" rip-style-bordercolor-backup="" style="" rip-style-borderstyle-backup="" >LISTEN</a>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
...
I tried this code, but it don't work because the elements ids change each time.
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li[8]/div[2]/div/div[2]/form/div/div/span[2]/a")).click();
For example:
If text contain "TEXT TO LISTEN": li[3]/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/div/div/span
Link "listen" i want to click : li[3]/div[2]/div/div[2]/form/div/div/span[2]/a
here is number 3, but the order may change. I would first like to get that number and then click on the right link
Use this
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li[contains(text(), 'Your text goes here')]"))
EDIT: just realised it's very old ques and you might have got ans by now, so for others who are looking for answer to this question.
You could get list of all li elements, and then search for specified text
for(int i=0; i< listOfLiElements.Count, i++){
if(listOfLiElements[i].FindElement(By.ClassName("userContent")).Text == "TITLE TO LISTEN")
{
correctElement = listOfLiElements[i].FindElement(By.TagName("a"));
i =listOfLiElements.Count;
}
}
Well, then just iterate through for each and ask if the current element has the right text inside it.
List<Element> listOfLiTags = driver.findElement(By.Id("yourUlId")).findElements(By.TagName("li"));
for(Element li : listOfLiTags) {
String text = li.getElement(By.ClassName("userContent").getText();
if(text.equals("TITLE TO LISTEN") {
//do whatever you want and don't forget break
break;
}
}
Note that this is much more easier with CssSelector API.
List<Element> listOfSpans = driver.findElements(
By.CssSelector("ul[id=yourId] li span[class=userContent]");
Now just iterate and ask for the right text:)
You can try this :
public void ClickLink()
{
WebElement ol =driver.findElement(By.id("ol"));
List<WebElement> lis=ol.findElements(By.tagName("li"));
ArrayList<String> listFromGUI=new ArrayList<>();
for(int i=0;i<lis.size();i++)
{
WebElement li=ol.findElement(By.xpath("//ol[#id='ol']/li["+(i+1)+"]/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/div/div/span"));
if(li.getText().trim().equals("TEXT TO LISTEN"))
{
WebElement link=ol.findElement(By.xpath("//ol[#id='ol']/li["+(i+1)+"]/div[2]/div/div[2]/form/div/div/span[2]/a"));
if(link.getText().trim().equals("LISTEN"))
{
link.click();
break;
}
}
}
}

Getting child elements using WebDriver

I've got the following HTML code:
<div class="ui-selectmenu-menu" style="z-index: 1; top: 251px; left: 37px;">
<ul class="ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-selectmenu-menu-dropdown ui-corner-bottom" aria-hidden="true" role="listbox" aria-labelledby="gwt-uid-191-button" id="gwt-uid-191-menu" style="width: 270px; height: auto;" aria-disabled="false" aria-activedescendant="ui-selectmenu-item-999">
<li role="presentation" class="ui-selectmenu-item-selected">
All Applications</li>
<li role="presentation" class="">
Option Alpha</li>
<li role="presentation" class="ui-corner-bottom">
Option Beta</li>
</ul>
</div>
...
<div class="ui-selectmenu-menu"...>...</div>
I'm able to get the WebElement for ui-selectmenu-menu like this (there are many on the page; hence, the use of findElements) :
List<WebElement> dropdowns = driver.findElements(By.className("ui-selectmenu-menu"));
And the ul below it like this:
WebElement ddChild = dropdowns.get(0).findElement(By.className("ui-selectmenu-menu-dropdown"));
I'm even able to grab all the li under the ddChild like this:
List<WebElement> ddOpts = ddChild.findElements(By.xpath("//*[#id='gwt-uid-191-menu']/li[*]"));
But the problem that I can't seem to figure out how to grab the text-value of the <a href="#nogo"... tag under each li element.
I'd like to be able to loop through all the ddOpts and grab the <a href="#nogo"... text values and save them to an ArrayList<String>.
So, for example, my first ArrayList<String> value would contain All Applications, then Option Alpha, then Option Beta, and then jump to the next ul element from the next dropdowns and do the whole process again, all while adding to the ArrayList<String>.
I'm sure its a simple solution but I've got limited experience with Selenium WebDriver.
Thanks!
PS: Is there a simple way to grab the child of a WebElement?
List<WebElement> ddOpts = ddChild.findElements(By.xpath("//*[#id='gwt-uid-191-menu']/li/a"));
ArrayList<String> links = new ArrayList<String>();
for(WebElement we : ddOpts) {
links.add(we.getText();
}
To extract the href attribute of the WebElement (referring to the anchor tag <a> in this example, do this:
List<WebElement> ddOpts = ddChild.findElements(By.xpath("//*[#id='gwt-uid-191-menu']/li/a"));
ArrayList<String> links = new ArrayList<String>();
for(WebElement we : ddOpts) {
// ADD all the href attribute strings to the list
links.add(we.getAttribute("href"));
}
This may also solve your problem:
List<WebElement> dropdowns = driver.findElements(By.className("x-combo-list"));
WebElement ddChild = dropdowns.get(0).findElement(By.className("x-combo-list-inner"));
List<WebElement> ddOpts = ddChild.findElements(By.xpath("//*[#id=\"x-auto-98\"]/div[4]"));
for(WebElement we:ddOpts){
System.out.println(we.getText());
if(we.getText().contains("ROLE_MANAGER")){
we.sendKeys("ROLE_MANAGER");
we.click();
break;
}
}
the below code will select the OptionAlpha in the dropdown of the above HTML code
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#class='ui-selectmenu-menu')).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#class='ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-selectmenu-menu-dropdown ui-corner-bottom']//**[text()='Option Alpha']")).click();
Please try the below code to get all the links in the <a href
List<WebElement> allLis = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[#id='gwt-uid-191-menu']/li/a");
// Looping through above list using for-each loop
for(WebElement eachLi : allLis) {
System.out.println(eachLi.getText());
}
Hope this helps.
href="#nogo" is same for all the anchor tags, so it might create ambiguity in selecting the item by the method
dropdowns.findelement(By.linktext("#nogo"));
