Question on using .size() for counting webelement

[Cheuk Chan]

I have this code running in firefox browser,

           System.out.println(driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[@class='product-box']")).size());

It was working good and give me the correct count of that webelement but once I run this code via chrome. It is always giving 0. 

Is there any problem of running this code?

Thanks!

You might want to start off by checking if that XPath is valid in Firefox.

Hi Chan,

Might be the point is not loaded completely and before it loads you are finding that element.

Also please check the xpath in Chrome whether that is working or not..

Thanks,

I think that since each browser has a different XPath engine, that the solution is likely just changing this:

By.xpath("//*[@class='product-box']")

to this:

By.xpath(".//*[@class='product-box']")

Also, I avoid using '*' char in locators because when you get an error , its not as easy to tell what it is.  The more specific your locator is, the easier it is to look at it and say "i remember what that was" .

I agree with Sudhansu here. The problem may be the control is not loaded completely.
