How to find specific lines in a table using Selenium?

Question

Here is an example code:

<div id="productOrderContainer">
  <table class="table gradient myPage">

So this table being in productOrderContainer has several columns and depending on several things will have several rows which all have several columns. An example is:

What I want to do is to for example get the first row of this table. ( rows have id's such as: <td rowspan="1"> ) And then again for example in this rowspan look for a specific value in a specific <div>

So in psudo-code what I want to say is:

Get me the table, get me the n'th row, get me the value in <div id='something'>

Answer 1

you can try following

int index = 0;
WebElement baseTable = driver.findElement(By.className("table gradient myPage"));
List<WebElement> tableRows = baseTable.findElements(By.tagName("tr"));
tableRows.get(index).getText();

You can also iterate over tablerows to perform any function you want.

Answer 2

You want:

int rowNumber=...;
string value = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id='productOrderContainer']/table/tbody/tr[" + rowNumber +"]/div[id='something']")).getText();

In other words, locate <DIV> with the id "something" contained within the rowNumberth <TR> of the <TABLE> contained within the <DIV> with the id "productOrderContainer", and then get its text value (which is what I believe you mean by "get me the value in <div id='something'>"

Answer 3

if you want to access table cell

WebElement thirdCell = driver.findElement(By.Xpath("//table/tbody/tr[2]/td[1]")); 

If you want to access nested table cell -

WebElement thirdCell = driver.findElement(By.Xpath("//table/tbody/tr[2]/td[2]"+//table/tbody/tr[1]/td[2]));

Answer 4

Well previously, I used the approach that you can find inside the WebElement:

WebElement baseTable = driver.findElement(By.tagName("table"));
WebElement tableRow = baseTable.findElement(By.xpath("//tr[2]")); //should be the third row
webElement cellIneed = tableRow.findElement(By.xpath("//td[2]"));
String valueIneed = cellIneed.getText();

Please note that I find inside the found WebElement instance.

The above is Java code, assuming that driver variable is healthy instance of WebDriver

Answer 5

(.//*[table-locator])[n]

where n represents the specific line.

Answer 6

The following code allows you to specify the row/column number and get the resulting cell value:

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
WebElement base = driver.findElement(By.className("Table"));
tableRows = base.findElements(By.tagName("tr"));
List<WebElement> tableCols = tableRows.get([ROW_NUM]).findElements(By.tagName("td"));
String cellValue = tableCols.get([COL_NUM]).getText();
