Match 2 Xpath using _WD_WaitElement

[MRAJ]

Hello,

I am using Webdriver UDF using edge browser. Below is my html elements

<tr data-location="abc"

<td class=""></i><br><span class="efg"> <i data-clipboardtext="hij" class="lmn"></i> <i class="nop"></i> <i class="qrs"></i></span></td>

<td class="tuv" style="wxy">-</td>

<td class="123"><span class="456"><i class="789"></i></span></td>

</tr>

i want to match the the two path if <tr data-location="abc" and span class="456" then fine or else error. I tried the below _WD_WaitElement script  but not sure if its correct path way. So i just need to confirm if my below script will match both tr & span data or not.

$sElement = _WD_WaitElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//tr[@data-location='abc']//td/span[@class='456']")

google is your friend:

https://www.w3schools.com/xml/xpath_operators.asp

check both following examples:

$sElement = _WD_WaitElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//tr[@data-location='abc'] | //td/span[@class='456']")

$sElement = _WD_WaitElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//tr[@data-location='abc'] or //td/span[@class='456']")

Thanks..So i am using the below so according to me first it will check the //tr[@data-location='abc'] and after that it will check the  span[@class='456'] under tr[@data-location='abc'] correct? and if under //tr[@data-location='abc'] span changes fron 456 to 627, it should give me the error. Correct me if i am wrong.

$sElement = _WD_WaitElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//tr[@data-location='abc'] | //td/span[@class='456']")

One important thing to remember is that most (all?) Webdriver implementations only support xpath 1.0. Some of the information you find on the web may not apply as it is geared towards xpath 2.0 / 3.0.

Have you tried writing the xpath like this?

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//tr[@data-location='abc']/td/span[@class='456']")

Hello Dan,

it will work with _WD_WaitElement correct?

$sElement = _WD_WaitElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//tr[@data-location='abc']/td/span[@class='456']")

Hello Dan,

I tried with below and its working fine. I will do testing more and let you know. Thanks

$sElement = _WD_WaitElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//tr[@data-location='abc']/td/span[@class='456']")

Yes, because  _WD_WaitElement is calling _WD_FindElement in a loop, which may not be necessary in your case.

Thanks Dan.
