Link verification in Selenium Webdriver.

[Sudhansu Sekhar panda]

Hi All,

Suppose i have a text "testing". I want to verify whether it  is a link text or a normal text.

How to verify that a text is a normal text or link text?

Can anyone please explain me through code?

Thanks,

Sudhansu

You can do as follow for checking as Link text:

String s = driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpathOfText")).getTagName();

assertEquals(s, "a");

Try like this

//Check whether the text is link name or not

package Practice_pack_1;

import java.util.List;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterTest;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class CheckTextisLinkNameorNot {
    WebDriver driver;
    @BeforeTest
    public void open()
    {
        driver=new FirefoxDriver();
          driver.manage().window().maximize();
        driver.get("http://www.google.com/");
    }
    @AfterTest
    public void close()
    {
        driver.quit();
    }
    @Test
    public void textcompare()
    {
        List<WebElement> elements=driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
        int totallinks=elements.size();
        for(int i=0; i< totallinks; i++)
        {
            String element= elements.get(i).getText();
            String av="News";
            if(av.equals(element))
            {
                System.out.println("News is link text");
            }
            else
            {
                //System.out.println("News is not a link text");
            }
        }
    }
}

if driver.findElementByLinkText("link text") returns element then it is link text else if it throws exception then it is a normal text.
