How to find the count of multiple buttons on a webpage using Selenium Webdriver

Question

I have 4 Upload buttons on a webpage. Each of the upload button has the common functionality of uploading a file.

I am unable to get the count of these buttons using Selenium webdriver. The id of the buttons are:

• buttonUpload_1
• buttonUpload_2
• buttonUpload_3
• buttonUpload_4.

The common entity for these buttons is the class name buttonSecondary smallButton

I have tried the below commands to get the count, but was unable to:

List<WebElement> buttoncount = driver.findElements(By.className(("buttonSecondary smallButton")));

List<WebElement> buttoncount = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//input[@class='buttonSecondary smallButton']"));

Answer 1

You can get count using tagname as well

List<WebElement> buttons = driver.findElements(By.tagName("button"));
int buttonCount=0;
for(WebElement a : buttons){        
    if(a.getText().equals("buttonName")){
          buttonCount++;
}   
    System.out.println(buttonCount);
}

Answer 2

You can solve it with By.xpath locator, starts-with() function and getting the size() :

List<WebElement> buttons = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//button[starts-with(@id, 'buttonUpload_')]"));
System.out.println(buttons.size());

Answer 3

If your all button will have same class OR xpath like you have taken in question then you can get total button count like :

 System.out.Println(buttoncount.size());

Size() will return you total num. of buttons.
