在Selenium Webdriver中的复杂表中查找数据

Question

I am currently trying to drill down on a user in a table full of users using Selenium webdriver, I have worked out how to iterate through the table but I'm having trouble actually selecting the person I want.

Here is the HTML (modified with X's due to it not being my data)

<table id="XXXXXXXXX_list" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style=" border:0px black solid;WIDTH:100%;">
<tbody>
<tr cellspacing="0" style="height: 16px;">
<tr>
<tr onclick="widgetListView_onClick('XXXX_list',1,this,event)">
<tr onclick="widgetListView_onClick('XXXX_list',2,this,event)">
<tr onclick="widgetListView_onClick('XXXX_list',3,this,event)">
<tr onclick="widgetListView_onClick('XXXX_list',4,this,event)">
<tr onclick="widgetListView_onClick('XXXX_list',5,this,event)">
<tr onclick="widgetListView_onClick('XXXX_list',6,this,event)">
<tr onclick="widgetListView_onClick('XXXX_list',7,this,event)">
<td class="listView_default_dataStyle" nowrap="" style="font-size:12px ;
font-family: sans-serif ;color: black ;background: #FFFFFF " 
ondblclick="XXXXListView_onDblClick('XXXXX_list',17, event)">NAME</td>
<td class="listView_default_dataStyle" nowrap="" style="font-size:12px ;font-family: sans-serif;
color: black ;background: #FFFFFF " ondblclick="XXXXX_onDblClick('XXXX_list',17, event)"> </td>
</tr>

Here is the code I am writing to try and find the user going by NAME in the table.

WebElement table = driver.findElement(By.id("table_list"));

    // 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) {         
        List<WebElement> Names = cell.findElements(By.xpath("//td[text()='NAME']"));
        System.out.println(Names);

This just prints thousands of [] (the table is huge in the real application). Essentially what I need is to stop when I find the correct name and create a web element out of that table row. Which I can then click and drill down on.

Sorry if any of this is a bit vague,

Answer 1

Well if each name in the table is unique, you don't need to complicate things so much. Just search for element with text matching your 'Name' then select the row accordingly. Look at the code below:

WebElement name = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//table[@id='XXXXXXXXX_list']//td[contains(text(),'NAME')]"));//Select td with text NAME in table with id XXXXXXXXX_list
WebElement rowWithName = name.findElement(By.xpath("./.."));//Select the parent node, i.e., tr, of the td with text NAME
/*
 * Look into that row for other element or perform any action on the row.
 */

If the names are not unique, ie, same name exists twice at similar node, 1st instance will be picked each time. In that case we will have to try things differently, ie, we will have to index the xpath for correct instance of matching name. Do ask if you have any further doubts :)

This will help you out.

     try{
ArrayList<WebElement> cells = (ArrayList<WebElement>) driver.findElements(By.tagName("td"));
log4j.info("Value = "+input_type+" is stored in array from Webpage for "+keyword+" ");
for(WebElement type : cells)
{
    if(type.getAttribute("name").equals("your correct name here")) {

        type.sendKeys("ABC");

    }
}
return true;
}catch(Throwable e){
    return false;
}

You need to use Array list like this and you can compare your Name in which you wanna fill value Or wanna do any operation like getText(), click() etc.

Enjoy!
