Is there a way to select an element that is not an option from a dropdown by text using selenium and C#

Question

Something like this code:

    public void SideMenuNavigateTo(string menuOption)
    {
       this.SideMenu.FindElement(By.XPath("//a[contains(text(),'" + menuOption "')]"));
    }

This code doesn't work, but is there a way to do something similar?

Answer 1

I have found the solution to my problem. The syntax should be a bit different

this.Driver.FindElement(By.XPath(String.Format("//a[contains(text(), '{0}')]", menuOption)));
