Selenium WebDriver HTML 代码

Question

This is what the error displays when I use the xpath

What command on the selenium webdriver would I use to click a text which has a xpath of

html/body/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/a

I tried using

driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/a")).click();

but still doesn't work... any suggestions?

Answer 1

Your xpath is incorrect. You are trying to hit an absolute path with html/body/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/a . You are missing a / so instead it should be /html/body/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/a

try:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/a")).click();

Answer 2

Instead of using absolute xpath which is not reliable way to identify an element, you can try this: //input[@id='partnerId']/following-sibling::a . It finds an element with unique id and then locates nearest sibling having tag a

Answer 3

I have seen similar issues when the element to be located was in a separate iframe.
Using FirePath or source html, check if there are any iframes and if yes, use
driver.switchTo().frame("framename") and then use
driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div 1 /div/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/a")).click();

Answer 4

What about just using By.linkText() or By.partialLinkText() instead of XPath? Using XPath in this way is "easy" but very fragile I would recommend against it.

driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("EARN up to "));

You can, of course, edit the partial link text to be more or less specific depending on what you are looking for and how unique the text is on the page.

Since that didn't work, let's try a different approach. Let's find all the links in the table you have pictured above. The code below will grab the A tags in the table and then click the first one. My guess from the picture is that the text contained in the link will likely change so having a more flexible way to find the links is better than using the link text. See if the below works.

List<WebElement> links = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector("div.data-block-sub-popular-offers > div.row-heading > a"));
links[0].click();

只需使用下面的xpath：

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='row-40percent']/a[contains(text(),'Earn upto 2.5%')]").click();
