Best way to verify text in a table is between 2 specified items - Selenium - Java

I have the following table and I am wanting to verify that "Vendor Assignment Expired" is in between "Vendor Accepted Assignment" and "Vendor Declined Assignment". What would be the best way to go about doing this?
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" style="table-layout: fixed; width: 100%; visibility: inherit;" id="x:1011327536.4:mkr:dataTbl.hdn" mkr="dataTbl.hdn">
<tbody id="x:1011327536.12:mkr:rows:nw:1" class="ig_ListItem igg_ListItem" nw="1" mkr="rows">
<tr id="x:1011327536.13:adr:0:tag:" tag="" adr="0" type="row">
<td class="grdCell" style="width:46%;" idx="0" adr="0" type="cell"> Update Disclosure Date </td>
</tr>
<!--[600001]-->
<tr id="x:1011327536.13:adr:1:tag:" class="ig_ListAlt igg_ListAlt" tag="" adr="1" type="row">
<td class="grdCell" idx="0" adr="0" type="cell"> Vendor Accepted Assignment </td>
</tr>
<!--[101020]-->
<tr id="x:1011327536.13:adr:2:tag:" tag="" adr="2" type="row">
<td class="grdCell" idx="0" adr="0" type="cell"> Vendor Assignment Expired </td>
</tr>
<!--[900101]-->
<tr id="x:1011327536.13:adr:3:tag:" class="ig_ListAlt igg_ListAlt" tag="" adr="3" type="row">
<td class="grdCell" idx="0" adr="0" type="cell"> Vendor Declined Assignment </td>
</tr>
<!--[900102]-->
<tr id="x:1011327536.13:adr:4:tag:" tag="" adr="4" type="row">
<td class="grdCell" idx="0" adr="0" type="cell"> Conditionally Declined </td>
</tr>
I know I can loop through each item like this:
List<WebElement> row = getDriver().findElements(By.cssSelector(".igg_ListItem > tr > td:nth-child(1)"));
for(WebElement el : row)
{
el.getText();
}
I'm just not sure how to capture the values to perform the assertion that the text displays between the other 2.

You can try this -
List<WebElement> row = getDriver().findElements(By.cssSelector(".igg_ListItem > tr > td:nth-child(1)"));
for (int i =0; i<row.size();i++) {
String status = row.get(i).getText();
if (status.equalsIgnoreCase("Vendor Assignment Expired")) {
if (row.get(i-1).getText().equalsIgnoreCase("Vendor Accepted Assignment")
&& row.get(i+1).getText().equalsIgnoreCase("Vendor Declined Assignment"))
System.out.println("Yes it between those values");
break;
}
}
Let me know if it works! Cheers!

You can use something like below:
Get next column Text and assert it with expected value.
String declinedAssignment = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//tr[td[text()=/"Vendor Assignment Expired/"]]//following-sibling::tr/td")).getText();
Get previous column Text and assert it with expected value.
String acceptedAssignment = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//tr[td[text()=/"Vendor Assignment Expired/"]]//preceding-sibling::tr/td")).getText();

Selenium Webdriver - Fetching column from a data table using Java 8

I am trying to grab a column from a data table.
Here is my table to use as an example, what I am looking for is to extract the Firstname from the table.
<table style="width:100%">
<tr>
<th>Firstname</th>
<th>Lastname</th>
<th>Age</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="abc">Jill</td>
<td class="abc">Smith</td>
<td class="abc">50</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="abc">Eve</td>
<td class="abc">Jackson</td>
<td class="abc">94</td>
</tr>
</table>
How can i modify the code below to give me this result:
Jill
Eve
WebElement table = driver.findElement(By.id("searchResultsGrid"));
// Now get all the TR elements from the table
List<WebElement> allRows = table.findElements(By.tagName("tr"));
// And iterate over them, getting the cells
for (WebElement row : allRows) {
List<WebElement> cells = row.findElements(By.tagName("td"));
for (WebElement cell : cells) {
System.out.println("content >> " + cell.getText());
}
}

Using Java 8 you can iterate list using .forEach after getting only Firstname column list as below :-
WebElement table = driver.findElement(By.id("searchResultsGrid"));
List<WebElement> firstCells = table.findElements(By.xpath(".//tr/td[1]"));
firstCells.forEach(firstCell->System.out.println("Firstname >> " + firstCell.getText()));

How to select multiple tags in an xpath

Please visit the website "http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-series/2223/icc-cricket-world-cup-2015/points-table"
<table class="table cb-srs-pnts">
<thead>
<tr class="cb-srs-gray-strip">
<th class="cb-col-20 cb-srs-pnts-th text-left" style="padding-left: 6px;">Pool B</th>
<td class="cb-srs-pnts-th">Mat</td>
<td class="cb-srs-pnts-th">Won</td>
<td class="cb-srs-pnts-th">Lost</td>
<td class="cb-srs-pnts-th">Tied</td>

I have to print all the table headings present for first table. It has a combination of "td" and "th" tags.
I am using the following xpath to retrive them.
//h3/../table[1]/thead/tr/*[self::td or self::th]
All the values are getting printed except for the text "Pool B"
Can somebody tell me why "Pool B" text is not getting selected?
Code to print the output:
driver.get("cricbuzz.com/cricket-series/2223/icc-cricket-world-cup-2015/…);
System.out.println(driver.findElement(By.xpath(" //h3/../table[1]/thead/tr/th")‌​).getText());
List<WebElement> tableHeading = driver.findElements(By .xpath("//h3/../table[1]/thead/tr/*[self: : tdorself: : th]"));
for (int i = 1; i < tableHeading.size(); i++)
{
System.out.println(i+""+tableHeading.get(i).getText());
}

Set the index to 0 in your for loop:
for (int i = 0; i < tableHeading.size(); i++)
{
System.out.println(i+""+tableHeading.get(i).getText());
}

HREF + TEXT with Jsoup

I've the following HTML Page:

Actually I'm doing:
Elements rows = document.select("div#page_content_list01");
Now I to select "TEXT" and link. I wanna to make clickable link, so I'm using:
for (Element eleme : rows) {
Elements elements = eleme.select("a");
for (Element elem : elementi) {
String url = elem.attr("href");
String title = elem.text();
}
}
and I'm getting:
url = "http://www.example.com";
title = "TEXT2";
and it's ok, but in this way I can't read "TEXT1" and "TEXT3".
Can someone help me please?

I think you need to work on the selecors. First, your primary selector
Elements rows = document.select("div#page_content_list01");
will return with a list of ONE element only, since you actually select the div, not the tables or table rows. I would instead do this to get all relevant info:
Elements tables = document.select("div#page_content_list01>table");
for (Element table : tables){
Element h2 = table.previousElementSibling();
String titleStr = h2.text();
Element a = table.select("a").first();
String linkStr = a.attr("href");
}
Note that the Text in the h2 elements is on the same level as the table, not inside a common div. This is why I use the previous sibling notation. Also note that I wrote this out of my head and it is untested. You should get the idea though.

How to skip a table row

I have created a small script, where it loops and deletes the unwanted rows in the table, but there is one row in the table that can not be removed. How can I skip that row and move on to the next one?
This is my script:
for(int i=0; i<25; i++){
if(driver.findElement(By.xpath(PvtConstants.READ_ADVERTISRERS_ADVERTISER_IDS)).getText().contains("Skip Me")){
//what to add here to skip the "Skip Me" text????
}
//select the item in the table
driver.findElement(By.xpath(PvtConstants.READ_ADVERTISRERS_ADVERTISER_IDS)).click();
//click the delete button
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='deleteAdv']")).click();
This is what the column looks like. I want to skip RealMedia, and then remove all items before and after.
HTML:
<table class="table smallInput dataTable" id="dataTableAdvertisers" ">
<thead>
<tr role="row" style="height: 0px;">
<th class="sorting_asc" tabindex="0" "></th>
<th class="sorting" tabindex="0" "></th>
<th class="sorting" tabindex="0" "></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody role="alert" aria-live="polite" aria-relevant="all">
<tr class="odd">
<td class="">
RealMedia</td>
<td class="">---</td>
<td class="">---</td>
<td class="">---</td>
<td class="">---</td>
</tr><tr class="even">
<td class="">
teset2</td>
<td class="">---</td>
<td class="">---</td>
<td class="">---</td><td class="">---</td>
</tr><tr class="odd">
</tbody>
</table>

Try the following:
Make sure there are some wait(if needed) before fetching the list.
This elements list will find all of the a tags under that table and for loop iterate through the collection and delete any member of the collection that does not have a text matching RealMedia. You shouldn't be setting the upper limit of the iterator blindly. That will keep the program looping unnecessarily and that's a bad practice.
List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector("#dataTableAdvertisers a"));
for (WebElement element: elements){
if (!element.getText().contains("RealMedia")){
//select the item in the table
driver.findElement(By.xpath(PvtConstants.READ_ADVERTISRERS_ADVERTISER_IDS)).click();
//click the delete button
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='deleteAdv']")).click();
}
}
EDIT:
By selector = By.cssSelector("#dataTableAdvertisers a");
List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(selector);
//This just controls the loop. Iterating through the collection will return StaleElement ref exception
for (int i = 0; i<elements.size(); i++){
//Just want to delete the first item on the list
By xpath = By.xpath("//table[#id='dataTableAdvertisers']//a[not(.='RealMedia')]");
if (driver.findElements(xpath).size()>0){
WebElement element = driver.findElements(xpath).get(0);
element.click();
//click the delete button
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='deleteAdv']")).click();
}
}
