Unable to click the a href

Post by mnaeem » Fri Oct 14, 2022 7:28 pm

Hello,
Please see the uploaded picture at onedrive link below. I want to click the No, thanks! hyper link but I am unable to achieve it. Appreciate some help.

This is the code I am trying to execute.

Code: Select all

ChromeFindElements>session_id,xpath,//*[contains(text(),'No, thanks!' )]//parent::a,elements
ChromeElementAction>session_id,elements_1,click

Hi, I think it gets confused by the "," in your xpath. You can try

Code: Select all

Let>tmp0=//*[contains(text(),'No, thanks!')]//parent::a
ChromeFindElements>session_id,xpath,tmp0,elements
ChromeElementAction>session_id,elements_1,click

Yep, commas can mess things up a little.

Taking your example :

Code: Select all

ChromeFindElements>session_id,xpath,//*[contains(text()%comma%'No%comma% thanks!')]//parent::a,elements
ChromeElementAction>session_id,elements_1,click
Or we could also use Partial Link Text or Link Text :

Code: Select all

ChromeFindElements>session_id,partial link text,No%comma% tha,elements
ChromeElementAction>session_id,elements_1,click

Code: Select all

ChromeFindElements>session_id,link text,No%comma% thanks!,elements
ChromeElementAction>session_id,elements_1,click
Yes, we have a Custom Scripting Service. Message me or go here
