如何存储列表中的多个项目的全局数组供以后使用

Question

I have my selenium code which pulls a list of names available in the list. Now I want to store the same names as global for later use. Please help.

I have tried array process, it pulls only true with each line, but not the values.

List<WebElement> allText = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[@id='pnlLeftMenu']/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/table[2]/tbody/tr[3]/td/table/tbody/tr"));

int total = allText.size();
System.out.println(total);

for(int i=3;i<=total;i++)
{
     CaselevelSigningCMs =driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='pnlLeftMenu']/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/table[2]/tbody/tr[3]/td/table/tbody/tr"+"["+i+"]"+"/td[2]")).getText();
     System.out.println(CaselevelSigningCMs);

}

I should get the names like: Ranjit Nyk, Sudhanva G.... I have to verify those names in other pages in other class/method. CaselevelSigningCMs is a global variable, it pulls single item only. I need similar array defined as global so that it can pull multiple items.

CaselevelSigningCMs =driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='pnlLeftMenu']/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/table[2]/tbody/tr[3]/td/table/tbody/tr"+"["+i+"]"+"/td[2]")).getText();

Answer 1

See how this String CaselevelSigningCMs is defined. Just like that go for ArrayList

Lets say the string used is defined some where like

 public String CaselevelSigningCMs = "";

Similarly define ArrayList

 public List<String> collectedItems=new ArrayList<>();

in loop add get text of each element, something like

 collectedItems.add(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='pnlLeftMenu']/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/table[2]/tbody/tr[3]/td/table/tbody/tr"+"["+i+"]"+"/td[2]")).getText());

Answer 2

You can use Arraylist to store and retrieve them

ArrayList ts=new ArrayList();

store the objects in arraylist

ts.add();

Answer 3

You can use Stream.map() function in order to convert the list of WebElements to the List of Strings containing element text attribute in a single shot:

List<String> allText = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[@id='pnlLeftMenu']/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/table[2]/tbody/tr[3]/td/table/tbody/tr"))
        .stream()
        .map(WebElement::getText)
        .collect(Collectors.toList());
allText.forEach(System.out::println);

I also don't really like your XPath expression, especially:

• //* wildcard
• these table[2] and tr[3]

wildcard expressions take longer time to execute and consume more resources, and your approach seems to be very dependent on DOM structure so I would recommend using XPath Axes as well as XPath Functions / Operators to make your expression as relative, robust and reliable as possible.

You can also consider using Table class of the HtmlElements framework for working with HTML tables
