Handling tag in xpath through cucumber
1
I'm using cucumber with Selenide frameworks, I have the following step in cucumber's regression.feature file:
Then Check if has a section labelled "Foo bar foo bar"
In Steps.java file I have:
@Then("^Check if has a section labelled "([^"]*)"$")
public void checkThatHomePageHassectionLabelled(String arg0) throws Throwable {
servicesSectionCheck(arg0);
}
And I would like to check if:
public static void servicesSectionCheck(String name) {
$(byXpath("//h1[(text()='" + name + "')]")).shouldBe(visible);
}
The problem is sometimes when the browser is smaller (RWD issue), the HTML is looking like
<div id="services" class="page_section row">
<input type="hidden" id="Count1" value="4">
<input type="hidden" id="Count2" value="2">
<input type="hidden" id="Count3" value="10">
<input type="hidden" id="loadMoreServicesURL" value="anURLhere">
<input type="hidden" id="portletNamespace" value="_serviceslist_INSTANCE_t8TJHYdgnwCu_">
<div class="col-12 desktop-padding">
<div class="d-none d-sm-block margin-top-50"></div>
<h1 class="text-center d-none d-sm-block">Foo bar <br> foo bar</h1>
<div class="d-none d-sm-block margin-bottom-40"></div>(...)
And sometimes
<h1 class="text-center d-none d-sm-block">Foo bar foo bar</h1>
How can I set an Xpath in servicesSectionCheck function to pass despite if <br> tag is presented or not?

"//h1/(text()='" + name + "')]"doesn't seem to be valid XPath... Did you mean"//h1[(text()='" + name + "')]"?

Instead of evaluating child text node (text()) you can evaluate string representation of header:
//h1[normalize-space()='" + name + "']

@Michal It should work with the provided HTML sample... Can you update your HTML sample if your simplified code source doesn't look like the real one? Also check whether yournamevariable is actually"Foo bar foo bar", but not"Foo barfoo bar"or something else
– Andersson
Nov 21 '18 at 10:15
Added. I spotted that this isFoo bar foo bar, but in HTML there'sFoo bar <br> foo bar, but adding an additional space in the "Then" line changed nothing
– Michal
Nov 21 '18 at 10:29
And btw, the first option (as described in my question) is 99% times - I think about focusing overcoming this<br>tag first, then think about the second issue, if needed

@Michal this looks more complicated , but shuold cover all 3 cases (including the one before question was modified)://h1[starts-with(., "Foo bar") and normalize-space(substring-after(., "Foo bar"))="foo bar"]. With this XPath we can ignore<br>as well as spaces between 1st and 2nd text
