How to search text in b Tag using Webdriver UDF - (Moved)

[MRAJ]

Hello,

I am using WD UDF for edge browser. I running a script which will search the text which is in b tag like: <b>test</b>. I tried with below but it is not finding the text . In IE i am using like the below script and its working but using WD UDF edge browser its not working. I am not sure where the scripts are wrong.

Local $pageSource = _IEBodyReadHTML($oIE)

If StringInStr($pageSource, "<b>test</b>")

Using Edge Browser

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, '//title[contains(text(), "test")]')

and 

_WD_Attach($sSession, $sString, $sMode = 'html')

I'm not sure that I understand your end goal, but the Webdriver equivalent of _IEBodyReadHTML is _WD_GetSource.

Hello Dan,

 

My Goal is to find the text and if not found then result an error.

Ok... you showed _WD_Attach as a portion of your example, which confused me. 🙂

You should be able to use _WD_GetSource and StringInStr to mimic what you were doing with IE previously. It's possible that you could use _WD_FindElement as well, but you would need the correct selector for it to work properly.

Hello Dan,

Thanks

I configured many scripts using WD UDF and its working fine. I am also using _WD_FindElement to other scripts and no issue. but this B tag HTML i was not able to find the correct selector and how to write. I used the below script, not sure if it correct or not.

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByTagName, '//title[contains(text(), "test")]')

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, '//title[contains(text(), "test")]')

Your first example is clearly wrong because you aren't supplying a tag name. Can you show the relevant HTML? It's difficult to know why the 2nd one isn't working without more details.

[MRAJ]

<td align="center"><font face="ARIAL" size="5"><b>test</b></font></td>

 

This is the HTML code

[Danp2]

That's not nearly enough HTML to help you. It just suggests that the desired element is part of an HTML table. Are you using a tool like ChroPath to assist you in finding the correct xpath?

[MRAJ]

I am using the inspect tool and then highlight the part and getting the HTML result.

We can't help you further without more details. You can either save the page's HTML to a file and post it here or provide a URL to a website that we can use for testing / demonstration purposes.

P.S. Did you look into using _WD_GetSource?
