Extracting Text From Webtable Selenium Webdriver
Solution 1:
According to provided HTML of table row, I'm not sure what could be unique locator. May be, below provided cssSelector
would be unique here to extract the text :-
tr[valign = 'top'] > td > p[align = 'left']
You can use above cssSelector
, if it is not unique you need to share more details about table HTML. So I could provide you unique locator.
Or if you want to locate this element with text, you can use below xpath
which would be unique :-
.//td[contains(.,'itinerary has been booked')]
Solution 2:
many days ago, i faced this problem. It has two approach to solve this proble
- using normailize-space of xpath. ẽample in my project, i have to get text in tr element with br tag
String temp = td.findElement(By.xpath(".//span[normalize-space()]")).getText();
- using javascript to get content with css selector. i used the first approach. Sorry if my english is not good
Solution 3:
Using Java, there is another generic way I usually prefer to use to read any given table data and the content in it
HashMap<Integer, HashMap<String, String>> tableData = new HashMap<Integer, HashMap<String, String>>();
HashMap<String, String> tableCellDataMap = null;
WebElement table = driver.findElement(By.id("<table_id>"));
/**
* Call this method to get Table Cell Data by passing WebElement table
* @Params table
*
* @author Fayaz
**/publicstatic HashMap<String, String> getTableData(WebElement table) {
List<WebElements> tableColHeaders = table.findElements(By.tagName("th"));
List<WebElements> tableRows = table.findElements(By.tagName("tr"));
// Start rowIndex with '1' because in the zeroth index we get 'th' tags for(int rowIndex = 1; rowIndex < tableRows.size(); rowIndex++) {
List<WebElement> tableCells = tableRows.get(rowIndex).findElements(By.tagName("td"));
for(int cellIndex = 0; cellIndex < tableCells.size(); cellIndex++) {
String tableCellData = tableCells.get(cellIndex).getText();
String tableColName = tableColHeaders.get(cellIndex).getText();
tableCellDataMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
tableCellDataMap.put(tableColName, tableCellData);
}
tableData.put(rowIndex, tableCellDataMap);
}
return tableCellDataMap;
}
Actually, it can even be further modularize to make Table utility with methods like, getTableHeader(), getRowSize(), getColSize(), getData(int rowIndex), getData(int colIndex)
