How to extract text from td node using Selenium and Java-CodePudding

I need to get the text of a td element with selenium. I have problem with extract text, I just receive null. I tried used list, getText() and so on. The HTML code is on the picture and element looks like you can see on the picture.

getDriver().findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"standortTable\"]/tbody/tr/td[2]")).isDisplayed();
String test = getDriver().findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"standortTable\"]/tbody/tr/td[2]")).getText();
System.out.println(test);

But I receive NULL, just "".

I guess you are missing a wait I.e. you trying to read the element text content before it is completely rendered.
Try this:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(getDriver(), 30);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//table[@id='standortTable']//td[@aria-colindex='2']")));
String test = getDriver().findElement(By.xpath("//table[@id='standortTable']//td[@aria-colindex='2']")).getText();
System.out.println(test);

The element is an Angular element, so to extract the text Teststandort1 you have to induce WebDriverWait for the visibilityOfElementLocated() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

Using xpath and getText():

System.out.println(new WebDriverWait(getDriver(), 20).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//table[@id='standortTable']//tbody//tr[@class='ng-star-inserted']//td[@aria-colindex='2']"))).getText());

Using cssSelector and getAttribute("innerHTML"):

System.out.println(new WebDriverWait(getDriver(), 20).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector("table#standortTable tbody tr.ng-star-inserted td[aria-colindex='2']"))).getAttribute("innerHTML"));
