Apologies for this;
How can I Click on Event triggers for example using Selenium Java?
I've tried this code:
By.xpath("//button[contains(text(),'Event triggers')]"); By.xpath("//button[contains(text(),'Submit')]");
I tried this as well:
WebElement Box= driver.findElement(By.tagName("Event triggers")); Box.submit();
Neither of these worked...
Thank you
Try to using this:
By.xpath("//a[contains(text(),'Event triggers')]");
instead of
By.xpath("//button[contains(text(),'Event triggers')]");
Based on the page source mentioned in the comment I think Event Triggers is not a button but an tag which essentially makes it a link. As you know the text of the link you are trying to click you can always use:
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Event Triggers"));
to get Event Triggers web element.
Using xpath should be avoided due to slow performance.
Well, if button doesnt have any id , you can try to write dynamic xpath by using "class name" and "type" (there are plenty of examples , you can learn easily how to create your xpath) , or easiest way, use firebug to locate element that you want to click and copy exact Xpath via firebug. And then click.
The correct answer is:
By.xpath("//button[contains(text(),'Event triggers')]").click();
You were missing that click action.
