Hi,

I am using caius project in my automation.

I am in a situation where I have to check for text containment in xpath.

But that is not working for me, and didn't foudn in tutorial also.

I am going by this way:

$window element by_xpath //*\[contains(text(), 'resources')\]

But it is not working. I am looking other ways also

M i wrong in syntax?

Kindly clarify!!!

Thanks,

Sushant

Hi,

from all I can tell, this works just fine.

test.html:

<html>

<head>

<title>This is the title</title>

</head>

<body>

</body>

</html>

test.tcl:

package require Itcl

package require Testing

package require WebDriver

itcl::class MyTests {

inherit Testing::TestObject

method test_find_by_xpath_containing_text {} {

set caps [namespace which [WebDriver::Capabilities #auto -browser_name firefox]]

set session [WebDriver::Session #auto http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub $caps]

set window [$session active_window]

$session set_logging_enabled true

$window set_url file://[pwd]/test.html

set div_list [$window elements by_xpath {//*[contains(text(), 'BB')]}]

puts [[lindex $div_list 0] text]

itcl::delete object $session

}

exit [[MyTests #auto] run $::argv]

output:

* EXERCISING TESTS IN "MyTests"

* Test 1/1: MyTests::test_find_by_xpath_containing_text -------------- START

- Log:
