How to map an element? | Como mapear um elemento?

Hi all.

How can I map the menu (menu.jpg)? I'm using selenium-server-standalone-2.33.0, on a Java app.

I've tried using the easier way, using the function findElement(By.id()) but it didn't work. I think I'll have to use XPath, but I have no idea how to do that.

I've attached the HTML script either (html.jpg). Any ideas?

Thank you!

Olá a todos.

Como posso mapear o menu em anexo (menu.jpg)? Estou usando selenium-server-standalone-2.33.0, em uma aplicação Java.

Tentei usar da forma mais fácil, usando a função findElement(By.id()) mas não funcionou. Creio que precisarei usar XPath, mas não tenho idéia de como fazê-lo.

Anexei o script HTML da página também (html.jpg). Alguma ideia?

Obrigado!

You could try this to find element -

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.className("middle"));

and then perform operation on "element" like - click etc.

Notice that I am using class to identify element here.
The order of element identification would usually be -

id>name>css selector > xPath

Hence xPath should be last resort to identify an element.

Hello tarun3kumar, thanx for your answer. However, the 'class='middle' isn't unique as you can see on the image below.



Any more ideas?! =x

Thank you!

hm, In that case we can navigate from parent node.
Seems class "menu-bar" is constant hence you can try this -

//div[@class='menu-bar']/span[@class=menu-button][4]/span[@class='middle']

that is - get the fourth span of parent div and then get the span with class 'middle'.
Let me know if this helps.

I've tried like below, is it correct?

Code:

ieDriver.get(linkFPWeb);
ieDriver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='menu-bar']/span[@class=menu-button][4]/span[@class='middle']")).click();

But it didn't work, as the log says below:

Code:

org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to find element with xpath == //div[@class='menu-bar']/span[@class=menu-button][4]/span[@class='middle']

I've forgot to show, after I click the menu, I'll have to click on the sub-menu item.



This is such a nightmare...!

If I am not mistaken then you want to click on - "Ocorrencias"
Is there a way for me to access your application?
if you can not post application detail publicly then contact me on skype id -

I hardly think so, 'cause the application isn't mine - it is from the company I work for.

I'll try some other things here. If it doesn't work, I'll come back and try this skype option.

Thank you very much for your help so far.
