Get the node name for xpath.

[Zeebee]

Hi,

Can't find the solution to my issue. I have nodes to be identified, I mean - I have to get nodes names for following case:

<content-scope scope-data="scopeData">
  <link-group data="scopeData[0]">
  <text-img data="scopeData[1]">
</content-scope>

When I'm using following syntax (FirePath, directly from browser)

name((//content-scope[@scope-data='scopeData']/*)[1]) 

or

name((//content-scope[@scope-data='scopeData']/*)[2])

then I get node name ( link-group and text-img).

In robot-framework it doesn't work with keywords Get Text or Get Value. I get message: "InvalidSelectorException: Message: invalid selector: Unable to locate an element with the xpath expression name((//content-scope[@scope-data='scopeData']/*)[1]) because of the following error: TypeError: Failed to execute 'evaluate' on 'Document': The result is not a node set, and therefore cannot be converted to the desired type. (Session info: chrome=44.0.2403.157)"

How to build correct xpath which is interpreted by RF or which keyword should be used?

In s2l when you want use xpath with ( at the begining you need to add prefix
Xpath=( in locator.
Then try again with gat atribut.

Hi, 

@WarBar - I've built variable like that:

${xpath}    xpath=(name((//content-scope[@scope-data='scopeData.cards']/*)[1]))

Now, what keyword should I use to get the first node ([1]) name?

Thanks!

RF code:

Open Browser file:///D:/temp/rf/a.html

${elements} Get Webelements xpath=(//content-scope[@scope-data='scopeData']/*)

log ${elements[0].tag_name}

gives result: 

20150826 10:37:37.551 :  INFO : Creating an instance of the Firefox WebDriver

20150826 10:37:40.326 :  INFO : Opening url 'file:///D:/temp/rf/a.html'

20150826 10:37:40.474 :  INFO : ${elements} = [<selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement object at 0x03FCBA10>]

20150826 10:37:40.485 :  INFO : link-group

Hope it helps you

Without prefix "xpath=" and "()" works also correct 

RF code:

Open Browser file:///D:/temp/rf/a.html

${elements} Get Webelements //content-scope[@scope-data='scopeData']/*

Works great!

Thanks WarBar!
