how to verify text present in a page

[pradeep]

Hi,

Using Selenium WebDriver, i'm trying to automate http://newtours.demoaut.com portal.

In this portal, once we register, the below confirmation message is displayed:

 Dear ,

Thank you for registering. You may now sign-in using the user name and password you've just entered.

Note: Your user name is xxx.

How to verify the above text in the WebDriver code? i tried by taking xpath as below, but after that i'm not sure how to  validate it.

 WebElement text =driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/table/tbody/tr[4]/td/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/table/tbody/tr[3]/td/p/font/b"));

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Pradeep

Hello Pradeep,

Use the following code (If location of text on page not matters)::

driver.getPageSource().contains(" ");

Don't do this. there is no reason to search the whole page for the text you want. It would be better to make sure its in the right place. 

driver.getPageSource().contains(" ");

doing something like this is very brittle its depending that the object you want is in this exact location. better to try and locate the exact item you want and then get its text. I would suggest looking at the the http://selenium.googlecode.com/git/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/WebElement.html 

to see how to get the text of an element. 

and reply with the html of the part of the page that contains your text 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

use Assert.assertTrue(text.getText().contains("Thank you for registering. You may now sign-in using the user name and password you've just entered."));

Hi Bhupesh 

                   customize your xpath rather than giving absolute xpath try to give relative xpath and give .getText() and assert it .

Hi Bhupesh,

as indicated by Ashish, you must customize your xpath.

For ex.
string sText = webdriver.findElements(By.XPath("//*[text() = '" + sTextToCheck + "']")).getText();

System.out.println(text);
