如何在Java中的Selenium Webdriver中的Webelements中单击特定元素

Question

If the date from the list of dates is matching with the given date which is string format then it should click on that element from that list of dates which when fetched is converted to string only. I have list of dates like below when converted to string:

2017-10-13  
2017-09-29  
2017-09-22  
2017-09-15  
2017-09-08  
2017-09-01  
2017-08-25  
2017-08-18 

So now if the input which is "2017-Sep-29" which when parsed to another format gives 2017-09-29 matches with the second date from the list then it should be clicked but it is throwing an error.

Below is my java code with comments :

WebDriver driver;
List<WebElement> stageListOfFilters;
String finalSnapshot = "", finalSnapshot1 = "";

@Test
public void getDateAndclick()
{
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");
    try {
        Date varDate = dateFormat.parse("18-Aug-2017");
        dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
        finalSnapshot1 = dateFormat.format(varDate).toString();
        System.out.println("Date: " + finalSnapshot1); // Prints 2017-08-18
        driver.findElement(By.xpath(config.getsnapshotFilter())).click();
        Thread.sleep(2000);
        finalSnap = finalSnapshot1.substring(5, 10);
        System.out.println("Date for final Comparison: " + finalSnap); // Prints 08-18 since i want to click on 18th august date
        stageListOfFilters = driver.findElements(By.xpath(".//*[@class='QvFrame DS']")); // This collects the list
                                                                                            // of dates which is
                                                                                            // fetched later on in
                                                                                            // for loop
        Thread.sleep(2000);
        for (int i = 0; i < stageListOfFilters.size(); i++) {
            System.out.println(stageListOfFilters.get(i).getText());
            Thread.sleep(2000);
            if (finalSnap.contains(stageListOfFilters.get(i).getText())) {
                driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@class='QvFrame DS']/div/div/div[1]/div[2]/div[" + i + "]")) 
                        .click();// If it matches at that index then it should click on element present at that index  
                Thread.sleep(2000);
            }
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO: handle exception
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

So now it should click on the last element since date which is being passed is 18th August but it still clicks on 2017-09-29 . I figured out that I am not getting value using get(i).getText() in if loop which is under for loop . Why is it so ?
Code for getAttribute("title") data :

stageListOfFilters = driver.findElements(By.xpath(".//*[@id='DS']")); // This collects the list
                                                                                    // of dates which is
                                                                                    // fetched later on in
                                                                                    // for loop

            for (WebElement element : stageListOfFilters) {
                System.out.println("Dates are: " + element.getAttribute("title"));
            }

Answer 1

Try to access the web elements in loop like show below:

stageListOfFilters = driver.findElements(By.xpath(".//*[@class='QvFrame DS']")); 
Thread.sleep(2000);
for ( WebElement we: stageListOfFilters ) { 
    System.out.println(stageListOfFilters.getText());
    if (finalSnapshot1.contains(we.getText())) {
        we.click(); 
        System.out.println("Data" + we.getText());
        Thread.sleep(2000);
    }
}  

Answer 2

If you are fetching the date value correctly using the elements then I believe the problem could be in your "if" condition. I believe the finalSnap value is "08-18" and whereas "stageListOfFilters.get(i).getText()" is fetching the date as "2017-08-18" . The below "If" condition inside the for loop will be always false since you are checking if "08-18" contains "2017-08-18" or not.

if (finalSnap.contains(stageListOfFilters.get(i).getText())) { //this condition check is false

     //ur code
}

You should be comparing "2017-08-18" with "08-18" and not the reverse way.

I was not able to select the proper xpath of the date list. I solved it now and below is my working code which fulfills my expectations. For css you can check this link:

try {
            Date varDate = dateFormat.parse("01-Sep-2017");
            dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd"); // 2017-08-18
            finalSnapshot1 = dateFormat.format(varDate).toString();
            System.out.println("Date: " + finalSnapshot1); // Prints 2017-08-18
            driver.findElement(By.xpath(config.getsnapshotFilter())).click();
            Thread.sleep(2000);

            stageListOfFilters = driver
                    .findElements(By.xpath("(//*[@class='QvFrame DS'])[1]/div/div/div[1]/child::div")); // This collects
                                                                                                        // the list
            // of dates which is
            // fetched later on in
            // for loop
            System.out.println("Size" + stageListOfFilters.size());
            Thread.sleep(2000);
            for (int i = 1; i < stageListOfFilters.size(); i++) {

                if (finalSnapshot1.equals(stageListOfFilters.get(i).getText())) {
                    System.out.println("Filters list value: " + stageListOfFilters.get(i).getText());
                    System.out.println("Value to be compared: " + finalSnapshot1);
                    i = i + 1;
                    driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@class='QvFrame DS']/div/div/div[1]/div[" + i + "]/div[1]"))
                            .click();
                    System.out.println("Value of i: " + i +" and Date is: "+ finalSnapshot1.toString());
                }
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO: handle exception
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
