How to locate the button using Selenium

Question

I tried to find this code

<div class="ads-form-bottom__submit">
    <button type="submit" class="ads-form-bottom__publish button button-orange" title="Enviar anúncio"> Enviar anúncio</button>
</div>

using the XPath

//div[class='ads-form-bottom__submit'][2]/button/following-sibling::div[1]

and

//div[@class='ads-form-bottom__submit']/following-sibling::button

but it doesn't work.

Answer 1

There doesn't appear to be a reason to use following-sibling:: .

Try:

//div[contains(@class,'ads-form-bottom__submit')]/button[contains(@class,'ads-form-bottom__publish')]

Answer 2

迁移到$（By.id（“”）可以缓解很多Xpath问题

Answer 3

To locate the button with text as Enviar anúncio you can use either of the following Locator Strategies :

• Using CSS_SELECTOR :

   div.ads-form-bottom__submit>button.ads-form-bottom__publish.button.button-orange[title='Enviar anúncio'] 

• Using XPATH :

   //div[@class='ads-form-bottom__submit']/button[@class='ads-form-bottom__publish button button-orange' and @title='Enviar anúncio'] 

Answer 4

your both xpaths are incorrect. first one is missing '@' and in second 'button' is not sibling, rather its a child.

use this

    //button[contains(text(), 'Enviar anúncio')]
