.Text不能在Selenium PhantomJS C＃中工作

Question

I want to get the text Sample from this structure:

<td id="IDName">Sample</td>

so I tried this:

driver1.FindElement(By.Id("IDName")).Text;

but it always return null .

Is there any reason why is it not working?

Answer 1

It's Hard to say why .Text is not working in your case, Might be possible when you are going to find element it's present on the DOM without text, So you should WebDriverWait to wait until element exists as below :-

var wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
IWebElement element = wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementExists(By.Id("IDName")));
element.Text;

Or might be possible it's designing issues of your HTML, then you can get text by using .GetAttribute("innerHTML") as below :-

var wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
IWebElement element = wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementExists(By.Id("IDName")));
element.GetAttribute("innerHTML");

Or then you can get text by using .GetAttribute("textContent") as below :-

var wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
IWebElement element = wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementExists(By.Id("IDName")));
element.GetAttribute("textContent");

Hope it helps...:)
