I have a problem, I write test automation c#. In my apps i have in menu position:
<a href="/op/va">
<i class="fa fa-fw fa-child"></i>
<div class="sidebar__label">I read</div> </a>
I want to click on this position "I read" but i don't know how i can search this element.
You could take your element in multiple ways:
//class name
driver.FindElement(By.ClassName("sidebar__label"));
//xpath using class name
driver.FindElement(By.Xpath(".//*[#class='sidebar__label']"));
//xpath using text
driver.FindElement(By.Xpath(".//*[text()='I read']"));
You can read more about it here.

I'm trying to select a HTML drop-down option through c# however Im not sure where to start. Could someone give a basic example.
Thanks in advance
Edited: This drop down I'm selecting is on someone's web page off the internet.
Edited: Below is the html on the webpage:
The drop down menu that contain "Ratings Data Upload" is what I am after to select.
<li class="dropdown ">
<a class="dropdown-toggle" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="true" href="#" data-toggle="dropdown">
<span class="caret"></span>
</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li class="">
Ratings Data Upload
</li>
There is a great browser automation framework called Selenium. Your next step should be using tutorials or online training content to learn Selenium (or another tool).
Selecting a drop down value with Selnium is as easy as:
Select objSelect =new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("search-box-id")));
objSelect.selectByVisibleText("Name of option shown to user");
I want to achieve clicking a HTML button via reading its Value or innerText in C# Selenium, none of the methods for click is seem to work, no idea why?
I was wondering if this is possible if so please advise my code is below.
Html below
<div class="a-button-stack">
<span class="a-declarative" data-action="dp-pre-atc-declarative" data-dp-pre-atc-declarative="{}" id="atc-declarative">
<span id="submit.add-to-cart-ubb" class="a-button a-spacing-small a-button-primary a-button-icon">
<span class="a-button-inner">
<i class="a-icon a-icon-cart"></i><input id="add-to-cart-button-ubb" name="submit.add-to-cart-ubb" title="Add to Shopping Basket" data-hover="Select <b>__dims__</b> from the left<br> to add to Basket" class="a-button-input" type="submit"
value="Add to Basket" aria-labelledby="submit.add-to-cart-ubb-announce">
<span id="submit.add-to-cart-ubb-announce" class="a-button-text" aria-hidden="true">Add to Basket</span></span></span>
</span>
</div>
My code in C# is the following:
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//button[contains(text(), 'Add to Basket')]")).Click();
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//button[contains(text(), 'Add to Basket')]")).Click();
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[contains(text(),'Add to Basket')]")).Click();
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//button[contains(text(), 'Add to Basket')]")).Click();
//input[#value='Add to Basket']
There is no button tag but you can grab the input tag by it's data attribute value like so.
You are trying to use an element of a button but a button element does not exist.
The add to cart button in the html is:
//input[#id='add-to-cart-button-ubb']
I am doing automatic test and i want to check the occurrence of an alert with the inscription "Good morning" (when i do assert).
I am writing test in C# with selenium-webdriver.
How should I find a reference to that object?
I am using: driver.FindElement(By. ......
Element:
<div class="alert alert-dismissable alert-info">
<button aria-hidden="true" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">×</button>
Good morning
</div>
You can't query the text directly using css selectors. See this answer. What you can do is get all the elements with that class, and then iterate over them looking for the text.
var alerts = driver.FindElements(By.CssSelector("div.alert.alert-dismissable.alert-info"));
Assert.IsTrue(alerts.Any(element => element.Text.Contains("Good morning")));
I m trying to find the element "import" using Selenium Webdriver in C#. Have tried the following codes but nothing find it.
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[#class='menu_bg']/ul/li[3]")).Click();
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[#id='import']/a")).Click();
driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("#import>a")).Click();
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[#class='menu_bg']/ul/li[3]/a")).Click();
driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("ul[#class='menu_bg']>li[value='3']")).Click();
Please help me out. Design page looks like below:
<body>
<div class="header_bg"></div>
<div class="menu_bg">
<ul class="menu">
<li id="retrieve"></li>
<li id="scan" class="test"></li>
<li id="import">
<a target="main" href="import/import.aspx" onclick="clickme(this,'import')">Import</a>
</li>
<li id="admin"></li>
<li id="help"></li>
<li style="float: right;"></li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
All the time I got the error as below:
unable to find the element
XPath indexers are 1-based, as opposed to most other languages whereby they are 0-based.
This means you are actually targetting the 2nd li element, which has no anchor element.
So:
//*[#class='menu_bg']/ul/li[3]/a
However, this XPath query is not great and is too strict on position - thus although this newly fixed XPath above should work, I'd advise you to think of something else.
By reviewing this link(Thanks to #Arran), the above issue was fixed. 'switching' to the current IFrame directs Selenium to show any requests to that frame instead.
driver.SwitchTo().Frame()
You can do this by chaining Selenium 'FindElement' like so;
driver.FindElement(By.Id("import")).FindElement(By.TagName("a"));
which will give you the child of the element with ID that has a tag of 'a'.
Another way you could do this is by casting your Driver to an IJavascriptExecutor and executing javascript directly in the browser using a JQuery selector. I find this better for more complex Selenium lookups;
((IJavascriptExecutor)Driver).ExecuteScript("$("a[target='main'][href='import/import.aspx'])").click();
I can't seem to get this xpath query to work with the HTMLAgilityPack with this code and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.
This is the query I have so far, but I can't seem to get it to return a number.
DocumentNode.GetAttributeValue("max(a[(#class='shackmsg')]/#href/substring-after(.,?id='))", "");
I'm trying to get the MAX value in the href attribute after the = sign on all hrefs with a class of shackmsg.

Any suggestions?
There are two problems as far as I can see:
You're only scanning for anchor tags in the current context. You probably want to extend to scan everywhere (use // in the beginning of your query):
//a[#class='shackmsg']/#href/substring-after(., '?id=')
Note that I removed a pair of unnecessary parenthesis.
If I'm not completely mistaken, HTML Agility Pack only supports XPath 1.0 (yet I'm not totally sure). While System.Xml.XPath says it implements the XPath 2.0 data model, it does not actually implement XPath 2.0 (probably this is done so third party APIs can implement this API and offer XPath 2.0/XQuery support at the same time). Also have a look at this discussion on .NET's XPath 2.0 support.
Missing XPath 2.0 support would show up as two problems:
Function substring-after(...) does not exist.
A solution for your problem could be to use string-lenght($string) and substring($string, $start, $length) to extract the last n digits, or translate(...) to remove some characters:
translate('?id=31219008', '?id=', '')
will remove all occurences in the character class [?id=] (yet it is none, I just want to highlight it does not match strings, but individual characters of this set!).
You cannot apply functions in axis steps. This means, you cannot find the maximum value of substrings.
Possible solution: Only fetch all substrings and find the maximum from outside XPath.
You can combine XPath with HTML Agility Pack and make the following code :
var value = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//a[#class='shackmsg']").Select(
x => x.Attributes["href"].Value.Substring(4)).Max();
Console.WriteLine(value);
And this output :
31219008
In this code I assume to always exist the href attribute and always have the following structure :
"?id=XXXX"
