If there is no locators are available for a element in a webpage then what approach we should use?

For example, if we have button to be clicked but there is no locators are available for that element. How I will click that element?

I tried of using Sikuli, but need to know any other approach is there?

CodePudding user response：

Sikuli is the best option, sikuli can click any thing on the screen. but in you question, we can identify any element in the webpage by locators.

Option 1: Absolute xpath Easy to get from browser https://i.stack.imgur.com/pM5qh.png. But even small changes on the web can crash test bcs used xpath won't be valid anymore.

Option 2: Relative xpath Probably best approach https://www.tutorialspoint.com/what-is-the-difference-between-relative-and-absolute-xpath-in-selenium. Combining with List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By by) which returns empty list instead of NoSuchElementException and maybe even with child elements https://www.tutorialspoint.com/locating-child-nodes-of-webelements-in-selenium you can always have a nice stable working locator.
