I give you the biggest like button and I would give thousands of like buttons with just one click if it was possible )) I found everything related to XPATH concept in one video tutorial with the highest quality that I have ever found so far. Thank you for the tutorial and keep up the good work!
Thank you @Loreta, i am glad that the xpath heirachy chart was helpful. Initially i was at a crossroad, to add the chart or not, now looking at your comments i am glad that i did add it.
Really appreciate the effort for creating the example pages where we can practice. It was really really helpful. will look forward to new videos from you. It saved a lot of time and Thank God, I got this video soon and didnt waste time on other tutorials. I feel confident that I can implement this now :)
Indeed a very great and useful tutorial. It would be good if the tutorial started with 3-4 mins of theory about XPATH, like what it is and its uses. But anyways we can google. Thank you for this tutorial.
This is indeed underated video tutorial, keep up the good work and hope to see more updated videos as alot has changed since this was posted, thank you so much!!!
Thanks, after watching this video I am able to handle with web scraping faster. In my opinion adding some demo sites for testing is a superb idea! What a shame that not so many people have watched it. ;)
Great explanation man! Watched numerous videos before this one and i wasn't able to understand the xpaths good. Now i feel confident!! Keep up the good work! Subscribed
Excellent Tutorial! It provided great coverage, awesome examples and all done at a very good pace! Wish everyone could do FANTASTIC tutorials like yours! Thanks SOOOOO MUCH!!!
Wow, one of the best comments I have got so far.. it's ppl like you who motivate me to make more content.. thanks a lot for taking the time out to comment on my videos, I Highly appreciate it..
@@Automationzone I've been doing QA Automation since 1996 (SilkTest, WinRunner, QTP, some LoadRunner, some Soap UI Pro, Test Director), and now learning Selenium with C# and perfecting MySQL (for holding data-driven test case data, test results and list of test case information so filtered tests are driven from the database). Next is Java for JMeter and Selenium. Plus already have it so test results and steps are written to html files with screen shot links embedded. Next ,need to create a web page users can go to to view the results and to kick off and schedule test runs from the web. So I've been looking at lots of tutorials for years now and seriously, yours are are VERY VERY GOOD! I would put yours on par with "Programming with Mosh" but I like your a little pace better. So glad I found your channel. Already subscribed!
Bro... you literally saved me bro. I didn't skipped even once in this vedio. It was that good 💯 Thanks a lot. I'll definitely forward this vedio to others who need this
Thank you for making this Video. It is very useful especially those who are into automation testing. And thanks for adding timelines for individual topics.
Great job, best Locator video yet. I have a question, if you would help. I gave a 5-column by the 50-row table. I need to find a name in the 5th column and then return the matching 1st and second column data using the the Xpath or CSS locator. is this using ./ and ././?
This is one way we can implement this A table is made of three tags Table --> Table Row ( TR ) --> Table Data ( TD ) there might be more tags in between this.. but these will always be there Step 1 - get the TD with ur data String elementText = "element_text_value"; WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td [ text() = '" + elementText + "']")); Step 2 - find the Row it belongs to WebElement row = element.findElement(By.xpath("./ancestor::td[1]")); note u can combine step 1 and 2.. but try not to do that.. it will be difficult to debug if needed. Step 3 Now u have the row.. find ur TD via index after u get the list of elements in that row List data = row.findElements(By.xpath("//td")); data.get(0).getText(); data.get(1).getText();
One thing I do want to say before you read the rest of the text.Your explanation of the Xpath concept is the best video I have come across yet. I really wish you was showing a larger screen area of the HTML so we can see the context.a good example of where a larger area would have helped is at 21:00. I can't seethe HTML tree so I could clearly under stand the index and the context. The text above isn't really as important to show the full body of text if you are busy explaining the HTML.
good vid thx for the knowledge, only thing is you typed at 42:10 bxcd while you said axcd and which it should be if I understand correctly by your explanation and the context
I actually feel like I understand how to do this now, thank you so much! I have a question along the lines of your string length example. In the following example, how would I write an xpath for the width being greater than 40px? I'm successfully using the below path, but I'm curious if there's a better way: [contains (@class,'grid-wrapper') and not (@style='width: 40px;')] Thank you!
Try this.. not sure if it will work.. but work around these lines [contains (@class,'grid-wrapper') and (number(substring-before(substring-after(@style, 'width:'),'px;')) > 39 )]
Thanks for this video. Please, how can one use XPath to extract comprehensive product data details from multiple pages of an e-commerce products website? Please reply 🙏
Interesting video to learn xpath. I tried one xpath for icon (...) exist below this video and next to save icon. Xpath I created (//button[@id='button']/yt-icon[@class='style-scope ytd-menu-renderer'])[1] . Not sure Is it a correct way.
For any any video //ytd-video-primary-info-renderer//button[@aria-label='More actions'] Reason :- ytd-video-primary-info-renderer = Present for all videos button[@aria-label='More actions'] = actions (...) for the video If you just give (//button[@aria-label='More actions'])[1] , this can fail if there is another button with the same label, you want to be specific, button for the video only. For Specific video //*[text()='Complete Xpath from Basic to Advance | 14 Xpath Function | All Xpath AXES | Xpath tutorial']/ancestor::ytd-video-primary-info-renderer//button[@aria-label='More actions'] //*[text()='VIDEO_TITLE']/ancestor::ytd-video-primary-info-renderer//button[@aria-label='More actions']
In this video, I think you made a mistake in the translate function. translate("abcd","b","x") should result "axcd " but you explained it as bxcd. refer 42:57 .please reply and let me know if i am wrong
Sir ...is it necessary to know the details of x path in depth... Or is it enough to know basic such as //input (@value='Submit')...Please do reply sir...
@@Automationzone thank you so much for quick respond...Please make complete series on Automation sir...your voice so nice...and you make hard thing easy...Thank you sir...
U can decide any one, it's based on your preference. I personally choose xpath coz most automation folks have knowledge on xpath So it's easy when there is a change in resource

This is one way we can implement this
A table is made of three tags
Table --> Table Row ( TR ) --> Table Data ( TD )
there might be more tags in between this.. but these will always be there
Step 1 - get the TD with ur data
String elementText = "element_text_value";
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td [ text() = '" + elementText + "']"));
Step 2 - find the Row it belongs to
WebElement row = element.findElement(By.xpath("./ancestor::td[1]"));
note u can combine step 1 and 2.. but try not to do that.. it will be difficult to debug if needed.
Step 3
Now u have the row.. find ur TD via index after u get the list of elements in that row
List data = row.findElements(By.xpath("//td"));
data.get(0).getText();
data.get(1).getText();
thank u so much sir.............👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Bookmark:
👉All elements are 1st child : 20.16
👉Partial match: 28.00
//p[contains(text(),'in successfully')]
(//p[contains(@class, 'css-17n507x')])[1]

//ytd-video-primary-info-renderer//button[@aria-label='More actions']

Yes. Ur right.. haha.. apologies for that.
B is replaced by x..
And so it's axcd ..

99% of the time basic will be enough.

Just learn the basics and start automating
