Study Notes
Selenium Web Tables
- A web table in Selenium is used to display data in a structured format.
- It is a HTML table element used to display data in rows and columns.
Accessing Web Tables
- The
findElement()method is used to access elements within a web table. - XPath is the most reliable option for accessing elements within a web table.
-
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//table/tbody/tr/td")).getText()is an example of accessing a cell in a web table using XPath.
XPath in Selenium
- XPath is used to navigate through the elements and attributes of an XML document.
- The main advantage of using XPath to access elements within a web table is its flexibility and precision.
- In XPath, the
@symbol is used to prefix attributes when using them as predicates. - The escape character backward slash "" is used to prefix double quotation marks in XPath code.
WebDriver Code
-
driver = new FirefoxDriver()is used to create a new instance of the Firefox driver. -
driver.get(baseUrl)is used to navigate to a specific URL. -
driver.findElement()is used to find an element on a web page. -
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//table/tbody/tr/td")).getText()is used to get the inner text of a specific cell in a web table. -
driver.quit()is used to close the browser and shut down the WebDriver service.
Inspect Element
- Inspect Element is used to inspect the elements of a web page in Selenium.
Nested Tables
- Nested tables can be accessed in Selenium using XPath.
- The correct XPath locator to access the second child element in a web table is
//table/tbody/tr[2]/td.
Predicates
- Predicates are used in XPath locators to filter elements based on specific conditions.
- Attributes can be used as predicates in XPath locators to filter elements.
Programming Language
- Java is a commonly used programming language with Selenium.
