Get texts from web dynamically

Web Testing

i want to get texts dynamically from web page. Well, I can easily get texts using xpath, but in my case those elements have same classes, but also these classes are used for many elements. So, I can’t just use xpath by getting only classes. Can I somehow get elements by using absolute xpath (nodes) ?

This is what I am trying to do:

List<WebElements> elements = DriverFactory.getWebDriver().findElements(By.xpath("//html[1]/body[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div[3]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]"))
		for(int i = 0; i < elements.size(); i++) {
			List<WebElements> elements = DriverFactory.getWebDriver().findElements(By.xpath("//html[1]/body[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div[3]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[i]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]"))
			   def text = elements.getText()
			   println text
		}

Is is possible to get those elements dynamic with using absolute xpath ?

There are other ways of getting the element locators besides classes. Can you post your HTML so we can advise you?

Hello,

please, for your own safety, do not do this. There is always a safer way to get Xpath of element(s) rather than absolute path.

Please share your HTML code of elements you need and we may figure it out.
