Hi Raghav Pal, What to do when xpath or ID doesn't work in the current page? for example, the page has everything is there just like a normal page. but when I select the element that I want and >right click> copy> copy xpath and try to search for it "Ctrl F" it does not show any results. how can I figure that out? Thank you so much, your videos always helped me a lot!!!
Hi Gilson, in that case you can use parent child or hierarchy to generate xpath. Some helpful videos - ua-cam.com/play/PLhW3qG5bs-L83gLEZVIDHOvgTTz27po_0.html
Hi Yasashree, although I do not know entirely about your app and scenario, I can say that if the DOM XML of your app changes with open or close status, you can just verify that property using xpath
You give to simple of examples. In the bookstore xml file add multiple authors to a single book and use XPath to return all authors for that book. Why does it only return only the first occurrence whenever there are multiple authors for a book. Thanks.
thanks for the session, just wondering if in the future another book is added on the book 2 place, then your xpath wont be valid anymore for that particular query, so how to deal with that smartly that it wont be broken, should there be any changes in the payload
Hi Rafi, very good question, and this is why we use dynamic xpaths with regular expressions. Can check more here - ua-cam.com/play/PLhW3qG5bs-L83gLEZVIDHOvgTTz27po_0.html
Can anyone please help me here ? I want to run two xpath together and store the value, I am not sure if it is possible. My one xpath is fetching City and second is state //div[(text()='city')]/following-sibling::div //div[contains(text(),'state')]/following-sibling::div As xpath is telling name of city and state is provided in next div of city and state. I want to run both and capture output in string format. On side note: both xpath is working fine for me. City London state England
Pretty good video, although introducing XPath you did not describe the notation utilized. Mentioning arrays and the query notation but not describing what they mean can be confusing to those who might be unfamiliar. Otherwise, great job
Hi sir, i tried exactly like your tutorial, but when i run in eclipse, there an error "The method xpath(String) in the type By is not applicable for the arguments (void)". Hope you can help
Sir, i am not able to verify xpath for those element which are inside shadow root in dom. DevTools showing 0 matching node. How can i verify if it is wrong or right?
On Google search, sir i got to know devtools doesn't support shadow dom and xpath also. There is a tool Selectorshub which support shadow dom and it gives the right count.
