Is there a way to capture List element xpath without using list index . Using selenium with java












0















Can we capture list element using attribute as well or it can only be captured using index value.



This is not working :



driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='interview-question']/div/div/ul/li[@id='tablist1-panel2']")).click();


This is working:



driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='interview-question']/div/div/ul/li[2]")).click();

  • It can be clicked using the attribute as well. Could you please share relevant page source for better understanding.

  • You can possibly extract your index with regex "tablist1-panel".
