I'm a beginner to selenium, so I need a help to click a link (Run)of a Record from multiple Records in the table contains multiple Rows of different class with same class name for each column. I have attached the code snippet.

I tried this Xpath but is not working:

//table[@class='table hover']/tbody/tr/td[text()='PIM Sample Report'] and ./td[text()='Run']

can someone help me to figure out this?

Answer 1

Try to use below XPath :

//td[.="PIM Sample Report"]/following-sibling::td[.="Run"]/a

This should fetch the link "Run" preceded by td with text "PIM Sample Report"
