Xpath for date in makemytrip.com

Hi All,

I want xpath for departure date which will be year independent.

Looking into page DOM it appears that there is a label having for attribute of location

So the relevant XPath query would be something like:

//label[@for='departure']

 I would also recommend using Explicit Wait in order to wait until the label will appear in DOM. 

Example code:

package com.example;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class TestClass {

    @Test
    public void someTest() throws Exception {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "c:/apps/webdriver/chromedriver.exe");
        ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("https://www.makemytrip.com/  ");
        WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
        WebElement departure = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//label[@for='departure']")));
        System.out.println(departure.getAttribute("innerText"));
        driver.quit();
    }
}
