I like to verify that the label 'Name' displays # times on our page and was wondering how can I use cssSelector to find that element?
This is the element:
<div class="entity-label ng-binding" ng-bind-html="entity.Label">Name</div>
This is what I currently have, but not sure how to add 'Name' to it.
private By lblNameField = By.cssSelector("[class='entity-label ng-binding'][ng-bind-html='entity.Label'");
Technically you can do the search using a CSS selector but the locator alone would not find the elements you want. You would have to loop through all the elements and look for contained text using .getText(). The below is an example
List<WebElement> labels = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector("div.entity-label.ng-binding[ng-bind-html='entity.Label']"));
int count = 0;
for (WebElement label : labels)
{
if (label.getText().equals("Name"))
{
count++;
}
}
System.out.println(count);
The more efficient way to do it (and the only way to locate an element with containing text) is to use an XPath. The XPath would contain the text you are looking for so that with only the locator you would find all the desired elements. The code below would return the count of elements that you are looking for.
driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[.='Name'][ng-bind-html='entity.Label']")).size();
public int countName() { int nameCount; nameCount = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[.='Name'][ng-bind-html='entity.Label']")).size(); System.out.println(nameCount); return nameCount; } 
DIV so that should work. I would double check that the elements you are getting are the ones you expect. You might double check the HTML and update the question if something has changed also.No, you cannot. The only way is using Xpath. Use text()='your text' or contains(text(),'your text') as a condition to find the element.
private By lblNameField = By.xpath("//*[@class='entity-label ng-binding' and text()='Name']");
//*[@id="ResultsData"]/div/ol/li[*]/ol/li[1]/div[1]
@class='entity-label ng-binding' is bad practice, as these are two different classes and they are not guaranteed to appear in this order.
Namein div is the text not the name, you can using xpath with thediv[contains(text(), "Name")]
