Selenium：按类xpath的findElements，在特定元素之前

Question

I have a page with a layout like this:

<div class="cool nice">...</div>  //1
<div class="cool nice">...</div>  //2
<div class="cool nice">...</div>  //3
<div class="cool nice">...</div>  //4
<div class="separator element">...</div>
<div class="cool nice">...</div>  //5
<div class="cool nice">...</div>  //6

I can get all elements with class="cool nice" like this:

List<WebElement> elements=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[@class='cool nice']"));

However, I'd like to exclude elements that follow the element with class="separator element . What is the best way to do that?

Answer 1

Use preceding-sibling or preceding

//div[@class='separator element']/preceding::div[@class='cool nice']

OR

//div[@class='separator element']/preceding-sibling::div[@class='cool nice']

Try now

List<WebElement> elements=driver.findElements(By.xpath(" //div[@class='separator element']/preceding-sibling::div[@class='cool nice']"));

Answer 2

在我看来应该没有一个：

//*[@class="cool nice" and not(./preceding::*[@class="separator element"])]
