在 xpath selenium 中按精确文本搜索

Question

I have a question regarding xpath. I try to locate the element that is in a drop down for example Surveys when I try to search using contains it is working

//li[contains(text(),'Surveys')]

But when I tried to search exact it is failed

//li[text()='Surveys']

Can someone please advise?

Answer 1

The text Surveys have a lot of white-spaces around it. So alternatively to suppress the white-spaces you can use the following Locator Strategy :

//li[normalize-space()='Surveys']

Answer 2

使用normalize-space删除空白字符：

//li[normalize-space(.)='Surveys']

Answer 3

Your "exact match" is missing the "new line" character, "\\n". Try:

//li[text()='Surveys\n']

Answer 4

I have tried it before, but you can try a newer way, I am still using it and it is working fine

right click --> copy XPath --> fix " "
