click on element with span id

[jloyzaga]

The code below is whats giving me issues and I'd like to click on the span with that id as there are 2 select2-selection__rendered items

<span id="select2-select_format-container" class="select2-selection__rendered">

how do I do it?

Ugh

Selenium2Library will automatically select the first element for interactions. But if you want to click the second element, it can be easily done by xpath and predicates. Something like this could work:

| Click Element | xpath=(//span[@id="select2-select_format-container"])[2] |

Tatu's suggestion is the same as I would make. Keep in mind that the xpath= part (locator prefix) is not optional in this case. If the locator starts with //, xpath is assumed, but here it starts with a parenthesis.

Hi,

I think you don’t need to use brackets

f.e.   xpath=//span[@id="select2-select_format-container"][2]

Thanks,

Dmitriy
