How to traverse parent dom elements and get the id in JUnit 4 Webdriver?

Question

I was curious to know if it is possible? I want to go 3 step up of a "Some Text" inside span and grab the id of a li item which holds it.

Answer 1

I think xpath would be the way to go on this. Something like

string testQuizID = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[contains(text(), 'TestQuiz')]/ancestor::li[1]")).getAttribute("id");

I'm not sure what language you're using, this is java syntax.
