How to extract text using Selenium getText() method and Java-CodePudding

My problem is to exactly identify a specific text on a website.

My actual solution is with Xpath and it works but I do not want to use Xpath and I only get the whole string and not just the specific pattern.

I tried with cssSelector and I did not figure it out. Same for id="top".

I want from this pattern:

Your user name is: username1 ... 
Just this part: username1

Environment:

openjdk 11 2018-09-25
OpenJDK Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11 28)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11 28, mixed mode)

JUnit5
selenium-java-4.0.0-alpha-1
Eclipse Version: 2021-03 (4.19.0)

HTML:

<vaadin-horizontal-layout style="width: 100%; align-items: center;" id="top" slot="navi">
</iron-icon>
<iron-icon style="cursor: pointer; color: var(--lumo-primary-color); margin-right: 20px;" icon="vaadin:top-o" title="Sitename">
</iron-icon><iron-icon style="cursor: pointer; color: var(--lumo-primary-color); margin-right: 20px;" icon="vaadin:tabs" title="new window">
</iron-icon>
<span style="margin-left: auto; color: var(--lumo-primary-color); margin-right: 20px;">Your user name is: username1</span>

As I read it it is not an iron-icon.

This is what I have but it is not what I want:

Java Selenium Xpath:

System.out.println("text username");
Assert.assertEquals("Your user name is: username1", driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/vaadin-app-layout/vaadin-horizontal-layout/span")).getText());
System.out.println("Get Text: ");
System.out.println(driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/vaadin-app-layout/vaadin-horizontal-layout/span")).getText());

Does anyone has an idea how to address that specific username1 pattern in this vaadin environment?

CodePudding user response：

To extract the text username1 you have to induce WebDriverWait for the visibilityOfElementLocated() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

Using xpath and split():

String[] xpathParts = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//span[contains(., 'Your user name is')]"))).getText().split(" ");
System.out.println(xpathParts[4]);
