I'm trying to get all links from a web page. I tried to use
WebDriver driver = FirefoxDriver();
List<WebDriver> elements = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
But I get zero links. How can I fix this?
I need to get the part from <a href="url">. I need the URL text.
I think found what I was looking for:
List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
for (int i = 0; i < elements.size(); i++) {
System.out.println(elements.get(i).getAttribute("href"));
}
You forgot to call WebDriver#get in order to access some page.
WebDriver driver = FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("www.google.com");
List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
In the code provided no website is retrieved. Try accessing a web page and then getting the a elements. Also trying changing from List<WebDriver> to List<WebElement>
WebDriver driver = FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
See this example: http://www.seleniumhq.org/docs/03_webdriver.jsp#introducing-the-selenium-webdriver-api-by-example
The following example works for me:
public class SeleniumTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
// And now use this to visit Google
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
for (WebElement element : elements) {
System.out.println(element.getText());
}
}
}
List<WebElement>I was facing same issue but now it resolved If you want to fetch all the links from the webpage you need to use List class and than use webelement
List<WebElement> allLinks = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
int linkcount=allLinks.size();
System.out.println("All Links :" +linkcount);
for(int j=0 ;j<linkcount;j++)
{
String ele= driver.findElements(By.tagName("a")).get(j).getText();
System.out.println(ele);
}
