I looked at the documentation located here, but couldn't find an answer.
I want to get an element by class name or xpath and return the number of instances. There seems to be no available function in Python, such as get_xpath_count().
Any ideas on how to achieve this?
Try driver.find_elements_by_xpath and count the number of returned elements.
You Can simply use len() function:
len(driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//a'))
In java, the following could work:
int xpathCount= driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[@id='billingProfiles']/div[@class='cardContainer']")).size();
OR,
List<WebElement> xpath = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[@id='billingProfiles']/div[@class='cardContainer']"));
int xpathCount = xpath.size();
System.out.println("Total xpath: " + xpathCount);
For counting the total links in a page:
Way1:
List<WebElement> totalLinks = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
int totalLinkSize = totalLinks.size();
System.out.println("Total Links by Way1 : " + totalLinkSize);
Way 2:
int totalLinkSize2 = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//a")).size();
System.out.println("Total Links by Way2 : " + totalLinkSize2);
In python
element.find_elements()
will return all surface children Web Elements
use this :
count_elemnts = len(driver.find_elements_by_...('name or class or id or xpath'))
elements (with an s) and not element
public static IWebDriver driver = null;
public static IList<IWebElement> elements;
// List count return total number of element
elements = driver.FindElements(By.XPath("//a"));
int intLinkCount = elements.Count;
You can use 'assertXpathCount' command available in Selenium
