如何使用Selenium Webdriver和Java从元素中获取文本？

Question

My code:

        WebDriver driver = new SafariDriver();

        driver.get("http://bet.hkjc.com/football/default.aspx");
        WebElement matchs = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("span.Head to Head"));

        System.out.println(matchs);

        driver.quit();

How can I crawl Manchester Utd and Celta Vigo ?

Answer 1

WebElement matchs = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@title='Head to Head']"));
System.out.println(matchs.getText());

Answer 2

Use firebug and firepath addons in firefox and inspect that element and get the xpath and put it here inside double quotes in this code :

System.out.println(driver.findElement(By.xpath("")).getText()); 

If you don't know how to use firebug and firepath refer this link

Answer 3

You can locate the element either by css selector or xpath selector

By using xpath

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@title='Head to Head']"));

By using css Selector

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("span > a[title='Head to Head']")); 

OR Try somethings like this if not getting the match

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("td.cteams.ttgR2>span>a[title='Head to Head']"));

Note : in your code you are trying like span.Head to Head in CSS selector . dot represents the class and according to your path you are locating span tag which have class name "Head to Head" which doesn't exist in your dom as this is the title of anchor tag.

Went through the Firebug and Firepath plugins of Firefox initially to get the Xpath or css path

I assume all the above answers doesn't work for you and am providing another answer.

I can see both the texts are under "a" tag. So the idea is to navigate to the element and use getText() - which returns the visible text.

String word = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span/a")).getText();
System.out.println(word);

Hope this works for you.

Answer 5

In all of my tests I'm using the getAttribute like this to get text and it is working fine for me on all drivers :

assertEquals(strCity, txtCity.getAttribute("value"));
