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.
