How to capture tooltip in Selenium using getAttribute?
We can capture the tooltip in Selenium using the getAttribute method.
This technique can only be used for an element which has the attribute in its html code.
A tooltip text becomes visible from an element as we hover the mouse on it. To obtain the tooltip we have to pass the title as a parameter to the getAttribute method.
Let us see the html code of an element UFSC Notes having a tooltip.
Here, the tooltip text displayed from UPSC Notes is UPSC IAS Exams Notes -
TutorialsPoint which is the value set for the title attribute.
Syntax
WebElement l = driver.findElement(By.linkText("UPSC Notes"));
String a = l.getAttribute("title");Example
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
public class TooltipAttribute{
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver",
"C:\Users\ghs6kor\Desktop\Java\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
//implicit wait
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm");
//identify element
WebElement l = driver.findElement(By.linkText("UPSC Notes"));
