Selenium xpath with multiple conditions and fetch element value

Question

I have a condition where tr row which generates dynamic value:

<tbody>
   <tr id="24686" tabindex="0">
     <td class="nowrap xh-highlight" style="padding: 3px 8px;">Available</td>
   </tr>
</tbody>

I have Xpath 1: (//tbody/tr/td[contains(text(),'Available')])[1] which returns

Available

and Xpath 2: //tr[1]/@id which returns

ld_9050427
22707

The condition is that I want to generate one xpath which will return first number whose status is Available and then return its ID. Later on I want to use this same id to carry on later process?

I tried something like below but it didn't work

(//tbody/tr[/@id and/td[contains(text(),'Disponible')]])[1]

What is your exact desired output? Do you want to select table row by @id and the text value of child td? — Andersson

@Andersson Id is something that is generated dynamically and I have three status Available, In Progress, Not Available. I want to select first unit that has status Available and then fetch its dynamic ID which is present in tr row. — Pranjal Prakash Srivastava

If you want to select tr that has id attribute (any) and table cell with text "Available" try

//tr[@id and td='Available']

to extract id value for further use you need get_attribute/getAttribute method

To find the first number whose status is Available and then return its ID you can use the following solution:

xpath:

"//tbody//tr//td[text()='Available']/.."

Note 1: The .. in the xpath refers to the ancestor node

Note 2: As you are looking for the first match with the implemented condition, you have use either:

Python:
```
find_element_by_xpath()
```
Java:
```
findElement()
```
C#:
```
FindElement()
```

Note 3: Finally you have to use getAttribute("id") / get_attribute("id") to extract the value of the id attribute as follows:

I am looking for something like this (//tbody/tr[/@id and/td[contains(text(),'Availabel')]])[1]

@PranjalPrakashSrivastava As you mentioned ...and then return its ID... so your end target is the <tr> from where you have to extract the ID e.g. 24686. Then why would you at all trying to land within the <td>?

<td> is the child which has different status. There are three status Available, In Progress and Not Available. So I want to select first unit whose status is Available and then fetch its id so that I can use its ID for further use.

That is what I spoke about in my ans. However you never mentioned the language binding you are using. You have to use find_element_by_xpath()
