在Selenium Webdriver ruby​​脚本中获取元素值

Question

I am trying to put some asserts by getting value and then comparing them. But, the get value statement always returns nil.

Desired value:-

<span class="contractSalesPrice.contractSalesPrice">$314,507.30</span>

I tried following ways: -

element1 = browser.find_element(:css,"#total > tbody > tr > td:nth-child(4) > span")

browser.execute_script("return arguments[0]", element1)

browser.find_element(:css,"#total > tbody > tr > td:nth-child(4) > span").attribute('value')

browser.find_element(:css,"#total > tbody > tr > td:nth-child(4) > span").value

What could be wrong?

Pls help, Thank You in advance.

Answer 1

You need to use #text method.

browser.find_element(:css,"#total > tbody > tr > td:nth-child(4) > span").text

attribute method is used to get the value of attributes of HTML elements. In your case, there is no attribute called 'value' in span element, thus the method returns nil . For more information read the documentation I linked.
