Here is the HTML code snippet:
<h2 id="xyz" class="test">
<button class="restore 1" value="test2" title="hello"> Line1 </button>
<button class="restore 2" value="test3" title="click"> Line2 </button>
I need this text
</h2>
To extract the text "I need this text" from the above code, you can try the following methods:
1.) Using xpath="//h2[@id='xyz']/text()" might result in an error.
2.) Try using xpath="//h2[@id='xyz']").innerText to get only "I need this text"
The Selenium API does not provide direct support for text nodes extraction. To extract only the text content from the nodes, you can create a helper function using JavaScript like the one below:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#xyz"));
String text = extractTextFromNodes(element);
public static String extractTextFromNodes(WebElement element) {
String SCRIPT =
"for(var arr = [], e = arguments[0].firstChild; e; e = e.nextSibling) " +
" if(e.nodeType === 3) arr.push(e.nodeValue); " +
"return arr.join('').replace(/ +/g, ' ').trim(); " ;
WebDriver driver = ((RemoteWebElement)element).getWrappedDriver();
return (String)((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript(SCRIPT, element);
}
When executing the getText() method on a By, it should actually be run on a WebElement:
WebElement h2 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//h2[@id='xyz']"));
String wantedText = h2.getText();
Alternatively, it is recommended to directly use the ID:
WebElement h2 = driver.findElement(By.id("xyz"));
Note: The second option that retrieves the entire text like Line1, Line2, and so on is correct. The HTML structure seems to be flawed as it places buttons under the h2 tag. Therefore, it is advised to exclude the text obtained from these buttons.
