WAYS TO FIND DYNAMIC XPATH FUNCTIONS IN SELENIUM WEBDRIVER


XPATH FUNCTIONS IN SELENIUM WEBDRIVER

  • XPath:  //button[starts-with(@id, 'continue')] 
  • XPath: //input[contains(@class, 'suggest')].
  • XPath: //input[@id='email']/parent::*
  • XPath: //input[@id='email']/following::*
  • XPath: //input[@id='email']/following::tr
  • XPath: //select[@id='month']/following-sibling::*
  • XPath: //select[@id='month']/following-sibling::select/
  • XPath: //input[@id='pass']/preceding::tr
  • XPath: //select[@id='day']/preceding-sibling::select/
  • XPath://select[@id='day']/preceding-sibling::*
  • //*[contains(@id,’your-common-pattern’)]
Using CSS we can use as below:
  • With ID - css=input#email or css=#email
  • With Name - css=input[name=email] or css=[name=email]
  • xpath : - //*[@id='email' or @name='email']
  • xpath: //input[@name='email'][@style='background-color: transparent;']
Some MoreExamples using Xpath Functions:  I often use "contains", but there are more. Here are some examples:
  • Multiple Condition: //div[@class='bubble-title' and contains(text(), 'Cover')]
  • Partial match: //span[contains(text(), 'Assign Rate')]
  • Starts-with: //input[starts-with(@id,'reportcombo')
  • Value has spaces: //div[./div/div[normalize-space(.)='More Actions...']]
  • Sibling: //td[.='LoadType']/following-sibling::td[1]/select"
  • More complex: //td[contains(normalize-space(@class), 'actualcell sajcell-row-lines saj-special x-grid-row-collapsed')]
  • Case sensitive : By.xpath("//td[contains(text(),'youruser')]") //here user text is case sensitive
  • By.xpath("//td[contains(lower-case(text()),'youruser')]") //to handle case sensitivity. Here user is not case sensitive
Lets we take sample Example here:

Using single attribute

Syntax
  • // tagname[@attribute-name=’value1’]
Example
  1. // a [@href=’http://www.google.com’]
  2. //input[@id=’name’]
  3. //input[@name=’username’]
  4. //img[@alt=’sometext’]
Sample Example:- .//input[@id='Email'][@name='Email'] – Example for finding Email field in Gmail.

Using contains method

Syntax
  • //tagname[contains(@attribute,’value1’)]
  • //input[contains(@id,’’)]
  • //input[contains(@name,’’)]
  • //a[contains(@href,’’)]
  • //img[contains(@src,’’)]
  • //div[contains(@id,’’)]
Sample Example:- .//*[contains(@id, 'link-signup')] – Example to find out links

Using multiple attribute

Syntax
  • //tagname[@attribute1=’value1’][attribute2=’value2’]
  • //a[@id=’id1’][@name=’namevalue1’]
  • //img[@src=’’][@href=’’]
Using starts-with method

Syntax
  • //tagname[starts-with(@attribute-name,’’)]
  • //id[starts-with(@id,’’)]
  • //a[starts-with(@href=’’)]
  • //img[starts-with(@src=’’)]
  • //div[starts-with(@id=’’)]
  • //input[starts-with(@id=’’)]
  • //button[starts-with(@id,’’)]
Using Following node

Syntax
  • Xpath/following::again-ur-regular-path
  • //input[@id=’’]/following::input[1]
  • //a[@href=’’]/following::a[1]
  • //img[@src=’’]/following::img[1]
Using preceding node

Syntax
  • //input[@id=’’]/ preceding::input[1]
  • //a[@href=’’]/ preceding::a[1]
  • //img[@src=’’]/ preceding::img[1]

How to move application from development server to production server

Hi friends today I am talking about how to move code from development to a production server this is nothing but release management life cycle but it is an important aspect for tester. The Release management discipline covers moving code form a developer’s machine to production.  This will be done in this way: Developer develops code and runs unit test, integration tests review the code prior to putting it in to the main build, which then leads to Install and build test server, this is where the install team install the code which has come out of the build, if the build does not work then the release manager knows there is a problem, most companies have a code curfew where they make sure developers don’t submit code for the nights build unless they have tested it. If the install is ok a regression test is run and if this passes, then the code is release to the test team, on one or more ideally two test servers. The testers then run their test scripts against the test plan and tes...
