Test an XPath or CSS selector in the browser before coding

QuizEasyAsked in: Infosys

In Chrome DevTools (the tools built into Chrome, opened with F12), how can you check that an XPath matches exactly one element before you use it in a test?

  • Type $x("//button[text()='Save']") in the Console and look at how many elements come back
  • Run the whole test suite and see if it passes
  • Right-click the element and use "Copy full XPath" as it is
  • Type the XPath into the address bar
