    XPATH Locators

    Locate elements by Attribute:


    To target a web element by the Attribute, it is necessary to use the following format:

    //tagname[@Attribute = 'Value']
    //div[@class = 'class-name']

    Locate nested elements by Attribute:


    To target a web element that is into another web element we can use nested locators using the
    following format:

    //tagname[@Attribute = 'Value']////tagname[@Attribute = 'Value']


    //div[@class = 'class-name']//button[@name = 'button-name']

    Locate elements by Text:


    To target a web element that has a text between tags <>text</> we can use the following locator
    format:
    //tagname[text() = 'Value']
    //h3[text() = 'Text to locate']

    Locate elements that contain part of a text in Attribute:


    Sometimes the Attribute values are too large so we can target a web element using the
    contains() function to write only a part of the Attribute value, we can use the following format:

    Using Attribute:
    //tagname[contains(@Attribute, 'Value')]
    //div[contains(@class, 'part-of-the-class-value')]

    Using Text:
    //tagname[contains(text(), 'Value')]
    //div//p[contains(text(), 'Part of the text')]
    Locate elements that starts-with part of a text in Attribute:
    Sometimes the Attribute values are too large so we can target a web element using the
    starts-with() function to write only the first part of the Attribute value, we can use the following
    format:

    Using Attribute:
    //tagname[starts-with(@Attribute, 'Value')]
    //div[starts-with(@class, 'first-part-of-the-value')]

    Using Text:
    //tagname[contains(text(), 'Value')]
    //div//p[contains(text(), 'First part of the text')]

    Locate elements by Attribute using AND & OR


    When using locators there could be some elements that have the same attributes or values, to
    solve that we can use logical operators to make a deep target search, we can use the following
    format:
    //tagname[@Attribute = 'Value' or @Attribute = 'Value']
    //button[@id = 'submit' or @name = 'btnName']
    //button[@id = 'submit' and @name = 'btnName']

    Locate elements using following::


    To target all elements that are next to web elements that have a specific tagname, we can use
    the following format:

    //tagname[@Attribute = 'Value']//following::tagname
    //div[@class = 'class-name']//following::input

    Locate elements using ancestor::


    To target all the web elements ancestors that have an specific tagname, we can use the
    following format:

    //tagname[@Attribute = 'Value']//ancestor::tagname
    //input[@class = 'class-name']//ancestor::div
    Locate elements using child::
    To target all the child (son) web elements from a element with a specific tagname, we can use
    the following format:

    //tagname[@Attribute = 'Value']//child::tagname
    //div[@class = 'class-name']//child::label

    Locate elements using preceding::


    To target all the elements that are before an element that have a specific tagname, we can use
    the following format:

    //tagname[@Attribute = 'Value']//preceding::tagname
    //div[@class = 'class-name']//preceding::input

    Locate elements using following-sibling::


    To target all elements that are next to another element in the same hierarchic level that have a
    specific tagname, we can use the following format:

    //tagname[@Attribute = 'Value']//following-sibling::tagname
    //div[@class = 'class-name']//following-sibling::input

    Locate elements using parent::


    To target the next parent tag that is above an specific element with a tagname, we can use the
    following format:

    //tagname[@Attribute = 'Value']//parent::tagname
    //button[@class = 'class-name']//parent::div
    //button[@class = 'class-name']//parent::div[1]
