Anyone has experience with get nodes in svg by xpath?

[godsarmy]

Hi

I saw a number of thread talking about dealing with svg by xpath in
Selenium in this group but there seems no clear result yet.

I have a html page having code as following and i want selenium to do
a click action on the rect node.

<div id="div_root">
<svg id="random-1">
<rect id="random-2" />
</svg>
</div>

Since svg and rect's id are randomly generated by javascripts, i have
to locate the rect node from div. However, apparently, xpath
expression such as //div[@id='div_root']/svg[1]/rect[1] does not work
according to past discussion.

Then i found i could get the svg lists by //*[name()='svg'], but there
is still no way to get rect node in svg lists.

Could anyone shed some light on me?

try this

selenim.getAttribut("//divv[@id='div_root']/child::svg[contains(@id,'random')]/child::rech@id");

this will give you id of rect tag

Really appreciate your help.

Although i have no idea why your suggestion does not work in my
environment, i eventually figure out a way to operate rect node.

my expression is "//*[name()='svg' and contains(@id, 'random')]/
*[name()='rect' and contains(@id, 'random')]"

Thanks anyway.

Hi Santosh,

This good solution which is really worked for me too, but how would i go to element further under svg following is my eg.

<svg version="1.1" style="font-family: "Lucida Grande","Lucida Sans Unicode",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: transparent;" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="493" height="303">

<desc>Created with Highcharts 4.0.3</desc>

<defs>

<rect class=" highcharts-background" x="0" y="0" width="493" height="303" strokeWidth="0" fill="#FFFFFF"/>

<g class="highcharts-series-group" zIndex="3">

<g class="highcharts-data-labels highcharts-tracker" visibility="visible" zIndex="6" transform="translate(10,30) scale(1 1)" opacity="1" style="">

<g class="highcharts-legend" zIndex="7" transform="translate(72,269)">

<g class="highcharts-tooltip" zIndex="8" style="cursor:default;padding:0;white-space:nowrap;background-color:#ffffff;border-color:#e5e5e5;border-radius:0;border-width:1;" transform="translate(173,143)" opacity="0"> 

till SVG and version i have reached like//*[name()='svg' and contains(@version, '1.1')] but to go further on the part <g class="highcharts-legend", i dont know how to proceed, does anyone has solution for this?
