Simple ways to approach a complex matter! Well done Naveen. I worked on a past project where all of the latest technology was incorporated..NOTHING worked!!
Hi Naveen, hats off to your web table explanation. I have seen so many courses but the web table concept is not so clear. After watching this video, I am so happy that now I am very much clear in web table handling. Thank you so much. Keep it up.
Hi Naveen, explained very well.. it could be better if you would have explained how you can pass the td or anchor value dynamically to that xpath by creating some method. And some more explanation when user wants to verify a perticular row values or column vlaues..
Hi Naveen In one of my recent interview the question was what if the table dynamically changes it’s columns like if new columns are added and referring to data in that column I need to select the checkbox Could you help me with logic for these, I don’t want to change the XPath though new columns are getting added
Hi Naveen, Thanks for your wonderful videos which really help a person to think about automation. Your explanation are superb which help people to understand any things about Java or selenium very easily.....Thanks bro for nice work which you do for people.....god bless you always
Hi Naveen, appreciate all your tutorials, full of knowledge as always, I wanted to share my interview experience, I recently attended an interview, they asked me this tricky question and I could not give the exact solution hope you can help me with this : "We have a big web table in our webpage consisting of lots of rows which are visible only by scrolling down vertical scroller in that table (not webpage scroller) each row is defined as separate table tag in html, how do i get to view the last row in that big table and print text from it?" My answer was we can use javascript executor and call scrollintoview method, but he said it works only at page level not for scrolling table inside the webpage. Appreciate your comments...
it's very good session Naveen thanks but am requesting you to do one video for ancestor,descendant,following siblings and how to identified row all elements(all columns in a row) using only one xpath ?
Hi Sir, Can I know how to write xpath for a checkbox based on its two preceding siblings. In your example only, if I want to write xpath for checkbox based on both Name and Company, how can we write? please explain.
It was really amazing ...I have one question sir....Where did you learn all this?? I want to do this all by myself but i cannot think like you sir..I want to do that without taking reference from other codes....I just want to make my own code with my own logic...What should i do for that??? Can you please help me out??
Hi Naveen, This Video is really useful for me... But could you please explain one or more scenarios for dynamic web Table with different XPath axes methods..
Hi Naveen.....For the second approach of customized Xpath using siblings, what if the name we are looking for is not visible in the table. The name may appear somewhere down at the bottom of the table and we have to use scroll bar to see that name. In that case, if the name is not visible, then it may throw ElementNotFound exception. How do we handle such scenarios where we can scroll down to the required name?
its a very rare case, but still u can scroll down using javascript executor using scrolling view method to that specific element to make it visible first, then use custom path using siblings.
Hi Naveen, Thanks for this video. Could you please let us know how do we handle handle a web table whose columns load as we scroll the page and so does rows. And if we have to update the [td ] of a row, in say some 5th page, how do we handle this.
Hi naveen , I am not able to locate the contacts button because I am not able to find the frame in the CRM website example that you have used. Can you please help me out how can we find the frame within the new CRM webpage ?
line no 48: the range of for loop is from 4 to 7. If we are truely considering the dynamic scenario then we will face issue again. Suppose next time we visit the page then 50 rows appear in the table then i think Method 1 will not be suitable. Although I am very clear with method 2 approach but Naveen is there any way to overcome challenge of method 1?? Posted on: 13March 2022
Hi Naveen,thanks for the tutorial,my question is how about if i do not know the number of raws what do i do, and another question is how do we deal with a for loop that loops on empty columns and raws?please assist i am actually blocked ,the table i am looping trough is having hidden raws and columns and my script is failing
Hi Sir, I have a small doubt, When you are writing customized XPath you are using a single slash in front of the parent element may I know the reason? When I am using a single slash in front of preceding elements also it's working fine but you are using double slash there! Thank You!
Hi naveen , I hope you be able to reply me, If i wish to add more rows, is there any way, just like arrays.length or string.length() so that i don't have to hard code terminating condition in loop
Hi Naveen thank u for all your videos ....one question in this video 17 min 21 seconds u r correcting one xpath there u wrote tr["+i+"] ..can't we write tr[i] directly
hi sir thanks for your video,please clear my one doubt if in web table duplicate name is available and unique transation id is available then how to verify the data on the basics of the transation id please let me know REPLY
Hi Naveen, I am using chropath in firefox 67.0.4. It works fine for other webapps. But in CRMPRO site, its working fine in login page .when it moves to next page, it is not inspecting any element. Please could you help me with it.
Hi Naveen, I am trying to use this logic of webtable in POM but i am getting "Cannot invoke "com.hrm.qa.pages.Recruitment.clickOnCheckBox()" because "this.recruitment" is null" error, I am not getting what will be the return when I click in checkbox. Can u pls help me ?
hi Naveen i have a doubt if that checkbox is at 7th place instead of 3 then whatever xpath is there will be one parent and 5 preceeding sibling then how will this xpath works?
Hi Naveen, if web table has lots of data and has pagination, just like your Contacts page have, will this way may I resolve the problem? Because of how many paginations is there and which pagination number the actual search data will be present is unpredictable in runtime. Could you suggest please. Thanks
Hi Naveen, you mentioned in earlier tutorials that we should avoid using absolute Xpath, but now in this tutorial you are using absolute Xpath, why is that?
Hi Naveen, One more question. What if there is no Scrolling down option available but instead developers have provided the pagination option like - Previous, 1,2,3... Next, etc. with each page holding 10 records. And if the element that we are looking for appears on the 5th page. Fortunately, in one of my projects, developers have provided the pagination option and have also given a Search textbox above the table using which we can search the record directly and then interact with it. This has made my life easier. But what if there is no search textbox and the user has to click on the Page Numbers to look for the element of his interest. Then how do we handle such case.
I am facing same problem. I want to search text from 5th page 2 column..then how to use pagination.I tried many but not getting result. If u got answer then tell me.
If I'm having one output in console. I need to found exact name in the table and I have to click. For eg if I have a printed "test test" in the console using get text. Now I have pick up the value from the console and I need to search in the table and click.
Hi naveen can you guide me how do i handle a web table which has 1000 of records and all records are in same page. If i scroll down more and more data keeps on loading which also takes some 4 to 5 seconds to load.Please guide me i think only you can help me.
Hi Naveen, i facing issue with following xpath //td[text()='Heavyweight Coated Paper'] in this xpath the text 'Heavyweight Coated Paper' is present but the problem is it has , so it is not recognized becaouse of that. I can use contains instead of text equal, but the problem the patter of the text we search may be sub set another text in the same td exp: i am searching for 'Heavyweight Coated Paper ' there is other text like "super Heavyweight Coated Paper', so contains dose not work here. So could you please let me know how to search exact text which has Thanks, Gavi
Hey i know this comment is one year old but i hope u still read this, when i m trying to do the same thing it only gives me one td and one tr i dont have any input or nothing. So in this case i m supposed to do this parent sibling thing??? Hope u reply
Hi Naveen can u explain this also , we have web table like u shown in that table have first name lable and last name labels , then subject names also there, will give one full name like LOKESH Is a first name REDDY Is last name, you just find the name is there in that table or not, if name there you have to print name with subject marks also can u do this program for me , u can take any example
Hi Naveen, I m trying to execute same concept on "ui.cogmento.com/contacts" by using xpath driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td[contains(text(),'Test 2 Test 2')]/parent::*//preceding-sibling::td//input[@type='checkbox'])")).click(); This xpath is showing proper as highlighted on elements section of browser. But, when i m executing script, at that time its not finding this element. Thanks in advance
The second method is obvius better but.... only works when you have some data in the table?.... what if i want to send text to a TD instead of clicking a check box? how can i locate the first empty TD of the table? using driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(text(),' ')].......... ???
Hi, why there is a single / before parent and // before preceding-sibling. What is the difference . Why can’t we use // before parent axes. Thanks in advance
Hi Naveen, I wanted to select the checkboxes based on the company name, I gave two records the same company name say 'Natural ltd' and I want to select both of them, how I can do that?

Hi naveen you are use index in xpath but they can change, i think we should not use index? But second method is good👍👍
This is explicitly for webtable and calendar handling. Just the way of breaking xpath.

Hello Naveen Sir,
As per interview point of view is 2nd method preferable ?
Can we use it if interviewer asks to handle dynamic webtable?
Hi Sir,
I have a small doubt, When you are writing customized XPath you are using a single slash in front of the parent element may I know the reason? When I am using a single slash in front of preceding elements also it's working fine but you are using double slash there!
Thank You!
single slash represent just inside that element and double slash represent anywhere in the DOM
