Requesting help in xPath using WebDriverUDF

[Retaki]

Hello, hope you are doing well

I will try to be short and to the point, am trying to automate chrome to do a specific task, i have access to a web page that open another window inside the same parent window (not separated tap), i can successfully automate the steps needed to open that popup. 

the issue here that there is a table inside that popup that am trying to deal with, the table is 4 columns and unknown rows number cause it will be dynamically allocated based on selected parent item. Whatever, am trying to look for specific text inside the third column but am not certain about which row it may exist. 

So, my question is how i can search for this cell using x Path? 

Here is table html code

 

expandcollapse popup

<table id="settings_object_sensor_list_grid" class="table table-bordered table-hover table-responsive dataTable no-footer" role="grid" aria-describedby="settings_object_sensor_list_grid_info" style="width: 100%;">
    <thead>
        <tr role="row" style="height: 0px;">
            <th class="sorting_disabled" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="width: 222px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; height: 0px;">
                <div class="dataTables_sizing" style="height:0;overflow:hidden;">Name</div>
            </th>
            <th class="sorting_disabled" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="width: 221px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; height: 0px;">
                <div class="dataTables_sizing" style="height:0;overflow:hidden;">Type</div>
            </th>
            <th class="sorting_disabled" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="width: 141px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; height: 0px;">
                <div class="dataTables_sizing" style="height:0;overflow:hidden;">Parameter</div>
            </th>
            <th class="sorting_disabled" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="width: 146px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; height: 0px;">
                <div class="dataTables_sizing" style="height:0;overflow:hidden;">Operations</div>

        </tr>

</table>

 

Notice here there is a 3button inside the 4th column 

And am trying to access it using the common _WD_FindElement function. 

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//div[@id='dialog_settings_object_edit']//table[@id='settings_object_sensor_list_grid']//tr[@id='Volt']")
   
   
$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, $sElement & "//tr[@id='Volt']//td//a[@title='Edit']")

   If @error = $_WD_ERROR_SUCCESS Then
        _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, 'click')
    EndIf
    
    ConsoleWrite(@error & @CRLF)

 

I hope that i clarified enough, looking for help, thank you.

You may want to check out _WD_GetTableContent written by @danylarson. I believe the latest version can be found here.

P.S. Some variation of this will likely make it into a future version of the UDF. I just haven't made the time to test this out thoroughly.

May you please share an example cause am stuck using it correctly?

You're welcome... and glad you were able to figure it out on your own.
