无法使用Selenium Webdriver获取HTML TAG TEXT

Question

I am facing a strange behavior in webdriver. The problem is very simple. I just want to print the names of the text in the drop down but I am not able to do that, I have tried various ways.

WAY 1: Using getText with my code snippet

List<WebElement> dupmap =  driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[@class='dropdown-menu']/li/a"));
System.out.println("Size of sub menu is : " + dupmap.size());
for(int j=0;j<dupmap.size();j++){
System.out.println("Sub menu options are : " + dupmap.get(i).getText());
}

Getting null as output.

WAY 2: Using .getAttribute("innerText") output as Load saved data source

System.out.println("Sub menu options are : " + dupmap.get(i).getAttribute("innerText"));}

I am not sure why I am getting this Load saved data source as output.

WAY 3: Using .getAttribute("innerHTML") output as Load saved data source <span class="caret-right"></span> ; not sure what is this?

WAY 4: Using .getAttribute("textContent") output as Load saved data source ; not sure what is this?

But when I change my xpath from this //*[@class='dropdown-menu']/li/a to //*[@class='dropdown-menu'] and then use .getText(); I am getting output as

Size of sub menu is : 6
Sub menu options are : Add map...

Desired text but as you can see all menu options are together and in iteration of 6. I am not sure what is happening. My menu and its source code are:

and the menu is:

Also when I try to click one of the options I am getting error as element not visible.

Answer 1

for(int j=0;j<dupmap.size();j++){
  System.out.println("Sub menu options are : " + dupmap.get(i).getText());
}

In your code, you used dupmap.get(i).getText() . but inside for loop you have used j as index variable.
