I tried targeting the below, but can't seem to get it to work. The error I get is
Error: Node is either not clickable or not an HTMLElement.
JavaScript
const btn = await page.$x(//button[contains(., 'My Button')])
await btn[0].click()
HTML/XML
<div>
<button>
<translate original="My Button">My Button</translate>
</button>
</div>
CodePudding user response:
Instead of
//button[contains(., 'My Button')]
Try
//translate[contains(., 'My Button')]
Or maybe
//*[local-name()='translate' and contains(., 'My Button')]
CodePudding user response:
If you truly want substring matching (for example, all of "My Button"
, "Not My Button"
, and "My Buttonless Shirt"
), then use contains()
as @Prophet shows.
On the other hand, if you simply want to abstract away whitespace (along with any elements wrapping the targeted text), then use normalize-space()
:
//button[normalize-space() = 'My Button']
This selects the button
element whose space-normalized string value is exactly 'My Button'
.
