Then obtain its text with the text method. Let us investigate the html code of a webelement with a span tag.Examplefrom selenium import webdriver #set chromodriver.exe path driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\chromedriver.exe") driver.implicitly_wait(0.5) #launch URL driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm") #identify element and enter text e = driver.find_element_by_class_name("search") e.send_keys("tutorialspoint@gmail.com") ...

We can locate elements in span class and not unique id with the help of the Selenium webdriver. We can identify an element having a class attribute with the help of the locator xpath, css or class name.To locate elements with these locators we have to use the By.xpath, By.xpath or By.cssSelector method. Then pass the locator value as a parameter to this method.Let us see the html code of a button having a span class and try to identify it.Examplefrom selenium import webdriver #set chromodriver.exe path driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\chromedriver.exe") driver.implicitly_wait(0.5) #launch URL driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm") l = driver.find_element_by_id("textemail") l.send_keys("abc@gmail.com") #get value ...

We can find elements by multiple class names. If there is an element having more than one value separated by spaces set for the class attributes, it is called the compound class names.Let us see the HTML code of such web elements having compound class names −We shall get an exception if we use both the values - toc and chapters with the class name locator for the above scenario. Instead, the rule is to have only one class attribute value with the class name locator.SyntaxWebElement l = driver.findElement(By.className("toc")); //Invalid locator value with className locator WebElement l = driver.findElement(By.className("toc chapters"));Exampleimport ...

We can prioritize tests in TestNG during execution. It must be noted that priority can only be set for test methods with @Test annotation. Lower the priority number set for a test method, higher the priority it gets during execution.Only integer value (positive, zero or negative) can be set as priority. A decimal number can also be set as priority, however it is required to be converted to integer value via typecasting.A test method cannot have multiple priority numbers. Also, the priority for a test method cannot be set from the TestNG XML file.Syntaxpublic class TestNG {    @Test (priority ... Read More
