从多个xpath提取文本并断言文本-Selenium / Java

Question

I need to find the text in an element and assert whether it matches with my required result.

The thing is, there can be n number of element from 1-100 in the page. So I can't get the xpath of all those elements and then assert the text in it.

The xpath looks like this: (from the first element)

(//DIV[@class='issues-list-item clearfix'])[1]
(//DIV[@class='issues-list-item clearfix'])[2]
(//DIV[@class='issues-list-item clearfix'])[3]
(//DIV[@class='issues-list-item clearfix'])[4]
....
(//DIV[@class='issues-list-item clearfix'])[100]

How do I loop through these xpath and assert for my text?

I tried the below method after referring few articles and it really did not help.

private static WebElement element = null;
    private static List<WebElement> elements = null;

public WebElement test() throws Exception {
    elements = driver.findElements(By.xpath("(//DIV[@class='issues-list-item clearfix'])[1]"));
    for (WebElement element : elements) {

        List<WebElement> TE = element.findElements(By.xpath("(//DIV[@class='issues-list-item clearfix'])[1]"));


        if (TE.size() > 0) {

            String myText = TE.get(0).getText();
            if (myText.contains("High")) {
                return element;
            }
        }
    }

    return null;

You can try this :

public List<WebElement> test() throws Exception {
        List<WebElement> TE  = new ArrayList<WebElement>();
         elements = driver.findElements(By.xpath("(//DIV[@class='issues-list-item clearfix'])"));
            for (WebElement element : elements) {
                if(element.getText().contains("High")) {
                       TE.add(element);
                }
            }
            return TE;
    }

Note that , it will return a list web element which contains High as text.

The more efficient way to do this is to add your check for "High" to the locator. That way you don't have to loop through all the elements to find only the ones you want. Your locator does all that work for you and more quickly. There's also a lot less code.

public List<WebElement> test() throws Exception {
     return driver.findElements(By.xpath("(//DIV[@class='issues-list-item clearfix'][contains(.,'High')])"));
}

There are a number of ways you can verify that the desired element is found. One way would be to use a TestNG Assert like

Assert.assertTrue(test().size() > 0, "Verify an element containing 'High' was found.");

//DIV[@class='issues-list-item clearfix'])[1] your query is wrong. The [1] at the end means that it will select oinly teh first item from all the items matching the query before, aka you will only compare against the first one. The second query you won't need, neitehr the if checking for size (optionally before the for loop)
