We can check if element exists with Selenium webdriver in C#. This can be determined with the help of the FindElements method. It returns a list of elements which matches the locator passed as a parameter to that method.
If there are no matching elements, an empty list is obtained. In case we have used the method FindElement instead of FindElements, NoSuchElementException will be thrown if there are no matching elements.
For implementation we shall be using the NUnit framework.
using NUnit.Framework; using OpenQA.Selenium; using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome; using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox; using System; using System.Collections.Generic; namespace NUnitTestProject1{ public class Tests{ String u = "https://www.tutorialspoint.com/about/about_careers.htm"; IWebDriver d; [SetUp] public void Setup(){ //creating object of FirefoxDriver d = new FirefoxDriver(); } [Test] public void Test1(){ //launching URL d.Navigate() .GoToUrl(u); //identify elements and store it in list List<IWebElement> e = new List<IWebElement>(); e.AddRange(d.FindElements (By.XPath("//*[text()='Terms of Use']"))); //checking element count in list if (e.Count > 0){ Console.WriteLine("Element is Present"); } else { Console.WriteLine("Element is not Present"); } } [TearDown] public void close_Browser(){ d.Quit(); } } }
