Element not found on the page by selenium Webdriver

Question

I need to check if a particular text is present in a span that has a composite class but selenium does not find this element on the page at all.

I have already tried with class and xpath, but it is not found.

Full html code where I need to get the text:

<span class="mn-person-info__occupation mn-person-info__occupation--card-layout Sans-13px-black-55%">
      Consultor de RH - HProjekt
</span>

Full html code:

<div class="mn-person-info__card-details mt1">
<a data-control-name="pymk_profile" href="/in/kaique-soares-04798354/" id="ember1053" class="mn-person-info__link ember-view">    <span class="visually-hidden">Nome do usuário</span>
    <span class="mn-person-info__name
        mn-person-info__name--card-layout Sans-15px-black-85%-semibold">
      Kaique Soares
    </span>
    <span class="visually-hidden">Cargo do usuário</span>
    <span class="mn-person-info__occupation
        mn-person-info__occupation--card-layout Sans-13px-black-55%">

</div>

I tried these ways and even put waits and still not find the element:

String text = driver.findElement(By.className("mn-person-info__occupation.mn-person-info__occupation--card-layout.Sans-13px-black-55%")).getText();
System.out.println(text);

driver.findElement(By.className("mn-person-info__occupation.mn-person-info__occupation--card-layout.Sans-13px-black-55%")).getText();

WebElement text = driver.findElement(By.className("mn-person-info__occupation.mn-person-info__occupation--card-layout.Sans-13px-black-55%")).getText();
System.out.println("text");

Answer 1

The method By.className takes classes separated by a space but you are using a dot.

One class should be enough in your case :

By.className("mn-person-info__occupation--card-layout")

, or with a CSS selector:

By.cssSelector(".mn-person-info__occupation--card-layout")

Note that some of the classes have an illegal character like % . For those you'll have to use a CSS selector with a filter on the attribute:

By.cssSelector(".mn-person-info__occupation--card-layout[class*='Sans-13px-black-55%']")

Answer 2

Can you please try with this xpath.

String content =  driver.findElement(by.xpath("//div[class='mn-person-info__card-details mt1']/a[1]/spam[3]")).getText();

Hope this helps. Thanks.

Answer 3

Try this:

WebElement myelement = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='mn-person-info__card-details mt1']a[1]/span[3]"));

//Now get the text.
String mytext = descriptionEle.getText();

Answer 4

如果您尝试如何

String content =  driver.findElement(by.xpath("//span[class='mn-person-info__occupation']")).getText();

Answer 5

The issue is caused by the By selector. It looks wonkie and selenium can't handle it. Selenium doesn't like having % in the selectors.

If you want to use by classname then i would suggest going an easier route.

  String text = driver.findElement(By.className("mn-person-info__occupation")).getText();
  System.out.println(text);

Or another option would by using.

String text2 = driver.findElement(By.className("mn-person-info__occupation--card-layout")).getText();
System.out.println(text2);
