I want to locate the respective span element. I want to check the order of the span elements using css selector. So when I use selenium IDE,I will verify it like below(using nth child concept).
verifyText | css=.title:nth(0) | Home
verifyText | css=.title:nth(1) | Posts
verifyText | css=.title:nth(2) | Events
verifyText | css=.title:nth(3) | My Activity
verifyText | css=.title:nth(4) | Assessments
But when I do the same thing in Selenium WebDriver I am not able to locate the elements with the order which I did using Selenium IDE.
Below are the codes that I used in WebDriver and it dint work.
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".title:nth(0)")); // to locate the "Home" element
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".title:nth-of-type(0)")); // to locate the "Home" element
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".title:nth-child(0)")); // to locate the "Home" element
Could anyone please help me.
You can generate the css-selector from ul
like ul > li:nth-child(1)
for home. See below:
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("ul > li:nth-child(1)")); >> home
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("ul > li:nth-child(2)")); >> posts
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("ul > li:nth-child(3)")); >> events
also reachin span is the same:
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("ul > li:nth-child(1) > a > span")); >> home
