Problem with using List<WebElement>

[Harish Goud]

Hi,

I am using below code to get the all links in to string using webdriver.

List<WebElement> linkElements=driver.findElement(By.tagName("a"));

int linkl=linkElements.size();

for(WebElement myelement: linkElements)

{

String link= myelement.getText();

System.out.println(link);

}

I am new to webdriver, not able to run the code and getting below error, can someone help me on this please?

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem: 

The type List is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments <WebElement>

Thanks in advance,

Harish

Harish,

Try this way hope it ll help you

List<WebElement> allLinks = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));

System.out.println(allLinks.size());

for (int i=0;i<allLinks.size();i++){

System.out.println(allLinks.get(i).getText());

}

Hi,

The first line should be:

List<WebElement> linkElements=driver.findElement(By.tagName("a"));

and make sure you import: import java.util.List;

You are using findElement when you should be using findElements (with an s). The findElement returns a single element. The findElements returns a list of WebElement's.

HI

it should be findElement(By by); findElement() only return WebElement. findElements() return list.

if you use eclipse, move your mouse to the red flag, you will see the cause.

Best Regards,

Hi,

Many thanks all who replied to this post.

it worked for me, i have used findElements()  instead of findElement().

Thanks again:)

Hello,

Instead of List<WebElement>, I have used below and it is working fine, hope it should work for u as well.

java.util.List<WebElement>e=drop.getOptions();

int count=e.size();

System.out.println(count);

Thanks
