Selenium xpath selector based on the element text
What would a Selenium xpath selector be for the following HTML:
<ul>
<li>First</li>
<li>Second</li>
<li>Third</li>
</ul>
I need to make Selenium IDE locate the second item on the list based on the element text. I thought //li='Second' would do the trick, but apparently it does not.
I think this is what you are looking for
ul/li[contains(text(), "Second")]
and better still
ul/li[text() = 'Second']
If you want to get by text
[.= 'Second']
or
[text() = 'Second']
By.xpath( "//li[contains(text(), 'Second')]" )
