How to fetch multiple ID using xpath or cssSelector if its sharing the same classname-CodePudding

Was trying to fetch ID but was throwing no element found exception for the following code:

System.out.println(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@class='activity'][contains(.,'First Testing')]")).getAttribute("id");)

System.out.println(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@class='activity'][contains(text(), 'Second Testing')]")).getAttribute("id"));

The above two code lines didn't worked threw no elements found exception

Please find the HTML :

<a id="id_106" > 
<strong>teena</strong>: <label id="check_label">
<em  style="padding: 1px; box-shadow: rgb(229, 229, 229) 1px 1px; border-radius: 3px; background-color: rgb(0, 191, 255); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: inherit;" match="Test" loopnumber="79991">Test</em> First Testing
</label>
</a>

<a id="id_109" > 
<strong>maria</strong>: <label id="check_label">
<em  style="padding: 1px; box-shadow: rgb(229, 229, 229) 1px 1px; border-radius: 3px; background-color: rgb(0, 191, 255); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: inherit;" match="amazon" loopnumber="791951">Test</em> Second Testing 
</label>
</a>

Here since contents inside strong tag is not constant and only element constant is text values in label tag (First Testing/Second Testing) and classname is same

Expected output :

id_106
id_109

CodePudding user response：

To print the texts id_106 and id_109 you can use the following locator strategies:

To print id_106:

System.out.println(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//label[@id='check_label' and contains(.,'First Testing')]//parent::a")).getAttribute("id"));

To print id_109:

System.out.println(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//label[@id='check_label' and contains(.,'Second Testing')]//parent::a")).getAttribute("id"));
