Element identification in Selenium in node

We can identify the web elements using below Element locators in Node.js

• className
• tagName
• name
• id
• xpath
• css
• linkText
• partialLinkText

Here are some of the examples that illustrate how to identify elements in Node.js

 
driver.findElement(By.className(‘myclassName’)).sendKeys(‘watson’);
driver.findElement(By.tagName(‘input’)).sendKeys(‘watson’);
driver.findElement(By.name(‘fname’)).sendKeys(‘watson’);
driver.findElement(By.id(‘myid’)).sendKeys(‘watson’);
driver.findElement(By.xpath(‘//input[@name=’fname’]’)).sendKeys(‘watson’);
driver.findElement(By.css(‘input[name=’fname’]’)).sendKeys(‘watson’);
driver.findElement(By.linkText(‘Home’)).click();
driver.findElement(By.partialLintText(‘me’)).click();

findElements method returns array of elements. This method returns all elements matching given locator. Here is an example on findElements method

 
var webdriver = require(‘selenium-webdriver’);
//create shortcuts for By and until classes

By = webdriver.By,
until = webdriver.until;
var driver = new webdriver.Builder()
.forBrowser(‘chrome’)
.build();

driver.get(‘https://www.softpost.org’);

var webElements = driver.findElements(By.partialLinkText(“torial”));

webElements.then(function (elements) {

//Work on each element
for (var i=0; i < elements.length; i++){
elements[i].getText().then(function(txt){
console.log(txt + “
”);
});
}
});

//close the browser

driver.close();

driver.quit();
