How to select a cell from a table in selenium using java-CodePudding

How to select a cell from a table in selenium when I have unique class name for the table

Below is the dom of the table

<table >
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>data1</td>
      <td>data2</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>data3</td>
      <td>data4</td>
    </tr>`your text`
 </tbody>
</table>

I tried below code but it is not able to find the table cell

WebElement table = driver.findElement(By.className("unique-class-name"));
for(int i=0; i<expectedTableBodyData.size(); i  ){
            for(int j=0; j<expectedTableBodyData.get(i).size(); j  ){
                WebElement tableBodyCell = table.findElement(By.xpath(".//tbody/tr[i 1]/td[j 1]"));

I am not able to find the tableBodyCell element, I have to use the loop because of some 2D array input data. I also tried ./tbody/tr[i 1]/td[j 1] and child::tbody/tr[i 1]/td[j 1] and descendant::tbody/tr[i 1]/td[j 1] but it did not work

CodePudding user response：

This should do the job:

table.findElement(By.xpath(String.format("((.//tbody/tr)[%d]/td)[%d]", i 1, j 1)));

The brackets within the xpath to clearly identify which element is being indexed are important.
