Selenium Webdrive (Java) - find an element in xpath where is no specific attribute

Question

I have the following statement:

String v_name = "Computer";

String v_test1 = new WebDriverWait(Login.driver,10).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated
                (By.xpath("//span[.=\""+v_name+"\"]/following-sibling::span"))).getText();

I need to get somehow the value with no style="display: none;".

<div class="test">
    <span>WIN-S38B7T042RC</span>
    <span style="display: none;>CLOSED</span>
    <span>OPENED</span>
    <span style="display: none;>CLOSED</span>
</div>

I can't use options like span[1].

So, I want to find some more flexible option.

Something like : /following-sibling::span **not in** style="display: none;"

Answer 1

XPath is quite flexible; one way would be something like this:

By.xpath("//span[not(contains(@style, 'display: none;'))]/")

or probably even something like this:

By.xpath("//span[not(@style)]/")

Of course you can also use something similar to what you tried, eg

By.xpath("//span[/following-sibling::span/@style]/")

But that's probably more complicated than necessary.

Mind you, none of these are tested but they should work in theory.

Answer 2

我建议您使用此xpath，最简单，最简单

//span[not(contains(@style, 'display: none;'))]
