Selenium Java-list元素在无序列表中包含部分文本

Question

How can I add 'starts-with' or 'contains' for

(By.xpath("//ul/li[1]")));

something like

(By.xpath("//ul/li[1][contains(text(),'"+textConstant+"')]")));  

which doesn't work

Can anyone assist with the proper formatting for this? Thanks

Answer 1

If Only one li tag contains that text then no need to mention index.

You can write like this:

By locator = By.xpath("//ul/li[contain‌​s(., '"+lostText+"')]");
WebElement errorFind = (new WebDriverWait(mypackage.ClassMain.driver, 15)).until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(locator));
String text = mypackage.ClassMain.driver.findElement(By.xpath("//ul/li[1]")).getText(); 
if(text.equals("Lose") {
   doNext(); 
} else {
   System.out.print("Win \n"); 
   doOther();
}

Answer 2

If textConstant is coming inside li tag, then you can write in following manner:-

(By.xpath("//ul/li[contains(.,'"+textConstant+"')]));

here, dot . stands for text()

Answer 3

You can use the AND operator for the Xpath.

//ul/li[position()=1 and contains(text(),'"+textConstant+"')]

This will match the top most li tagwhich contains the text constant value.
