xPath 文本包含 Selenium Web 驱动程序

Question

I'm trying to select an element based on its text contents. I am using XPath to achieve this.

I am just puzzled as this should work?

WebElement link = obj.driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[contains(text(), 'Notifications')]")); 

I'll even copy the HTML code:

<div class="linkWrap noCount">Notifications&nbsp;<span class="count _5wk0 hidden_elem uiSideNavCountText">(<span class="countValue fsm">0</span><span class="maxCountIndicator"></span>)</span></div>

The div element has the words "Notifications" inside it. So why doesn't it work.

Use this chrome extension to highlight any area via xPath.

Answer 1

You have a space before the word Notifications:

WebElement link = obj.driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[contains(text(), 'Notifications')]"));    

You should also add a wait for element before trying to find the element:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(webDriver, timeoutInSeconds);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//div[contains(text(), 'Notifications')]"));

WebElement link = obj.driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[contains(text(), 'Notifications')]")); 

Answer 2

I found the issue with the help of some amazing people in this community.

Ok, so my element was in an iFrame.

In order to access the element, I must first access the iFrame

WebElement iframe = obj.driver.findElement(By.xpath("//iframe[@tabindex='-1']"));
    
obj.driver.switchTo().frame(iframe);
