How to Become Genius in XPath in Selenium - Session -18

[@ajithashokkumar5019]

I'm into this automation field for more than 4 or 5 years, still shameful for not knowing how to create xpaths, all because of adons like firebug, selectorshub etc which made our life easier, but unfortunately, the company blocked those adon usages and now struggled to create xpath and after a long search found this beautiful video. You are a lifesaver man. Thanks for showing us the marvel of creating xpaths.

[@miteshgujarathi5447]

I didn't find anyone till now explaining xpath with such ease. Really appreciate your expertise. Thank you for all your videos. You are helping thousands of people like me to learn.

[@SabiUddin]

Naveen had 747 Subscribers when this video was recorded. Now he has 344K subscribers. Damn! What a progress.!! You deserve all the success in life! A true inspiration and Leader for all of us!!

[@naveenautomationlabs]

Thanks bro! Glad that you liked it.

[@sravankumar-zg3tv]

I felt as I was having a 1 to 1 meeting with the instructor. Clearly explained. I started with zero knowledge about xpath but now I am equipment with a great useful information. Thanks Naveen!!

[@supriyapawar8417]

totally agree

[@aishwaryavangalkrishnakuma1704]

Naveen I swear i was struggling literally with all the bullying one side and not knowing how to pass this phase of not been able to find the x-path....you have definitely given me the right guidance. Very precise and clear. Thanks alot to help the needy like me...three cheers to you. Teach a lot and these good wishes will get your existence meaningful.Thanks bro

[@mithaleepardeshi]

I never in my dreams thought that I would ever understand this concept of writing xpath by self. I knew it was important and was still using absolute XPath by just copying it. But today took the courage and went through this session of yours, I regret not doing it sooner. Thank you so much Naveen Sir. May My Krishna bless you Abundantly. :-)

[@naveenautomationlabs]

I am glad that, finally you learnt how to create xpath.

[@nilstoned7593]

If someone asks me who was your fav teacher in your school/college, I'll say "It's Naveen's... from KZbin" :-)

[@kmaheshbabu3988]

Wowwwww😊😊😊

[@prasantamajumder27]

Nowdays, everyone is an online intellectual teacher but very few have the skill to deliver the topic in most appropriate & understandable format. The way you explained, is absolutely brilliant. Examples are appropriate, very much understandable and moreover my concept on XPATH is now very much clear. Thank u .......Like & Subscribe to banta hai boss

[@testinginsights-muktasharma]

Excellent! Your distinguishing characteristic is that you make the complex things look easy. Thank you!

[@mukundanvenkatesan]

entire selenium in just 39 mins..mind blowing!

[@abhedpatil]

Brilliant, loved the checkbox sibling part - nicely explained throughout the video. Well done

[@KrishnaReddy-mo8tr]

@Naveen Thanks for this video. I liked your way of simplified explanation for taking dynamic xpath, particularly most useful concept like ++preceding-sibling: //a[text()='test2 test2']//parent::td[@class='datalistrow']//preceding-sibling::td[@class='datalistrow']//input .

[@sahinaparveen6449]

Can we put single slash before input ? Will it work?

[@karanmartinn3970]

what its been 39 mins and it feels like 2 min ur explaination is so damn good and easy to catch i love it homie

[@niteshmishra9987]

I rarely comment on videos but I think I should give it for this guy, amazing man.

[@motazhejaze38]

[@anilkumarmohanty2077]

@naveen you are a genius mate...I have learnt full selenium automation by seeing and practising your video.

[@anilkumarmohanty2077]

@naveen I have a question. I have a link that ends with .txt. I guess you can understand what it is showing.I have to work on a element on this link.The full page comes under one pre tag.I have tried customised xpath but that didn't work. Is there any way we can handle the elements in this page? Please do reply.

[@NaeemMuhammad22]

Hi Naveen, This is one of the amazing video on Xpath. Very well explained. Thanks for your contribution in the community

[@premkumarms7607]

Normally I am using Firepath for creating and verifying xpath. But this techniq is quite simple now only I recognized. Thanks for this video.

[@jaiminbhavsar7541]

Hello Navin, this is excellent tutorial. Thank you.. Following python code works for clicking check box with new website changes: check_box_element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//td[text()='']//parent::tr//preceding-sibling::td//div//input[@type='checkbox']") actions = ActionChains(driver) actions.move_to_element(check_box_element).click().perform() Replace: with the name in the contacts table.

Hi Naveen, I am using chrome version 63.0.3239.84 and I am not getting this option on ctrl F to find by string selector or xpath. When I do ctrl F what I get instead is 'Find string in logs'. How do I get the option to search by xpath? please guide.

[@balaji914]

Naveen, not sure whether you follow Money Heist. While watching this session i felt like create my own dynamic xpath:-) Here goes my dynamic xpath: //Money Heist[@The Professor = 'Alvore Morte'] and //Selenium[@The Professor = 'Naveen']

[@user-gg8cq6nv4l]

Hi Naveen, I am glad that I found your channel, as this is the easiest way to be QE. Anyways, I just started TDD and apart from creating other projects, I was following your freecrm design. Although everything looks good, my initialization method is not working that I called from TestBase into Logintest class. The error contains in @BeforeMethod set up.

[@ksneka]

hi naveen Explanation about the XPath is clear and concise, can you please clarify my doubt. Need to get xpath for radio button in a page, there are two radio button with same name and type but only difference is value. input[@value='sms' and @name='option' ] enough while validating in chrome it shows one wedelement but while executing its selecting first option.

[@madhavisunkara9151]

Very well explained. Thank you very much!!

[@bhargavireddy1034]

Awesome bro, Thanks a lot!!!

[@ddchhirang]

Awesome 👌 I LIKE IT

[@aniket80]

Amazing explanation, clear walkthrough. Quick question: How to cope up with path changes? or if the elements are changed? Is there a way we make it more dynamic? Thanks in Advance

[@thiery572]

Hmm... interesting video. I'll check back later when I need it. :)

[@mallikachandana2797]

Hi Naveen ,can u please do some short session it would be very helpful on span tags it’s very difficult to write for span attributes.Thank you will be waiting for your session on span tags.

[@naveenautomationlabs]

Same rules will be applied for span tag as well. Use span with text() function

[@umamaheswari4183]

Hi Naveen, Instead of Thread.sleep methods, its better to use webdriver waits so that we will wait only for the required amount of time. Your thoughts ?

[@sachinjaiswal9054]

For a pega application how to get xpath in IE? MRI tool doesn't open at all. Another option like GetXpath1,GetXapth2 is not providing correct xpath. Any idea?

[@Jayshree_jaysh]

Just Love this!! Lovely way of explaining

[@khaledheid]

In Google Chrome DevTools, right click on the highlighted element and select "Copy XPath" from the menu to auto generate XPath for the selected element

[@sahanthaveesha2004]

Perfect explanation.. Keep up the good work

[@Createsofkaira19024]

Sir,after writing xpath we should click which button to execute it i mean we should click Enter rigjt

[@ridvan61usa]

very good info, I learned new stuff.

[@chittaranjan3090]

hi Naveen, shall i create my dynamic XPath for Mozilla?

[@kirtitade4533]

Hi Naveen, Could you please help me to know who to locate an element with xpath when no identifier is available

[@digikiwam]

if the element doesn't have any identifiable qualities, look at it's parent and go for there. Every element has a tag of some sort. Go up the tree to a parent with some identifiable properties and then go from there. Or, find a sibling element that you can recognize and use ::following-sibling to get the element you want.

[@fareedmohd3619]

While development of application the developer should consider and place a unique identity on all components ( it should some protocol to place a identification) .

[@shitaljoshi1007]

thanks Naveen for explaining xpath concepts

[@sayaliphadtare776]

Very well explained and hence understood..thanks sir

[@naveenautomationlabs]

Thanks for watching

[@shaikmasthan833]

Got doubt, you making xpath using contains and equals and you are recommending contains what if there is any other text message which contains word like 'Features' than it will show 2 web elements right

[@najeebzahed6348]

Thanks Naveen, I have found your approach logical and simple...much appreciated!

[@deepunair7554]

It’s really cool.. Thank you so much for sharing more info about xPath.

[@SpeedFrameCreations_Nature]

Awesome video Naveen. I have a question --> How can we select all the checkbox for a particular name under contacts tab, when there are multiple contacts present with same name. (freecrm.com) have tried using findelements, and storing all the records for desired name in List, but not able to reach the checkbox of that contact inside for loop as checkbox is under preceding .

[@machannagarisuma1263]

Thank u so much naveen.u helped me a lot in learning xpath
