What should I use to Click in webDriver

[vikas jain]

I have 3 links whose HTML is given below. What should I write to click them.
The text on Links are a) Users  b) >User Groups c) User DC/Distributor/Account Assignments.
I am using webdriver in java. I am new to webdriver so forgive me if there is very simple solution to it.


<div id="ext-comp-1196" style="padding-bottom: 25px;">

<div class="ds-navlist-item x-view-over">
<h3>Users</h3>
<p>Allows you to manage Users</p>
</div>

<div class="ds-navlist-item x-view-over">
<h3>User Groups</h3>
<p>Allows you to manage User Groups</p>
</div>

<div class="ds-navlist-item x-view-over">
<h3>User DC/Distributor/Account Assignments</h3>
<p>Allows you to manage the Distribution Centers, Distributors and Accounts assigned to Users</p>
</div>

</div>

You can write 

driver.linktext("Users").click();

I tried both these but none of that work .
a) driver.findElement(By.linkText("Users"));
b) driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("Users"));

None of them is working , it gives error as
"org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to locate element:
{"method":"link text","selector":"Users"}"

org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to locate element:
{"method":"partial link text","selector":"Users"}

The 3 items you are referring to are not links, they are headers. Searching for link test won't work.

You are trying to find links, but it looks like based on the html snippet you shared, everything is within a <div> tag

I second that ... So what should I be writing to click them ??

[Peter Gale]

There's nothing in the html that seems worth clicking on.

You need to determine what you want your test to do, then try to implement that yourself.

If you get stuck we might help, but we can tell you what test you need to write.

Do you think "<div class="ds-navlist-item x-view-over">" this would
be clicking it ?
or can we write native Xpath like "/html/div/div/..." and click that ???

[Peter Gale]

What are you expecting clicking on the div to achieve?

To reach on other page..

Not use how you would reach there as there is no link or any object 

May be am not seeing with the html

There must be something in the class for those div tags that makes them clickable somehow.

You could use this XPath for Users:

"//div/h3[text()='Users']"

However, that would click on the h3 tag and not the div.  To click on the div try this:

"//div/h3[text()='Users']/../.."

I think you need both of the "/..", but maybe only one.  It's been a while since I did that.

You are welcome.  I had a similar thing where there was an h3 tag and so I was reminded of it when I saw your HTML.  That is why it is so important to show us the HTML your code is interacting with.

Hi 

    I am trying to click a div ,here's the code

<td class="ui-pg-button ui-corner-all" title="Delete Item"><div class="ui-pg-div"><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-trash"></span>Delete</div></td>

I failed to click the div.

Here my code

WebElement elements =driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='ItemMasterPager_left']/table/tbody/tr/td[1]/div[contains(text(),'Delete')]"));

       

        

       

        Actions moveTo = new Actions(driver);

        moveTo.moveToElement(elements).click().build().perform();

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks in advance
