RXpath equivalent

I got the following Xpath:
Code: Select all
//div[@class='classname' and .//label[text()='Name']]//li[index]//div[@Id and @data-val-name]//input[@type='text']
I've tried to build an equivalent RxPath to this xpath, but i failed.
Any idea?
Thanks.

Hello,
Unfortunately I am not sure what you are trying to do, but if you want to create the path to an element manually I would recommend to use the path editor.
Please read the section "
RanoreXPath" in our user guide in order to get more information how to create a valid RanoreXPath.

Bernhard

Well, i just want to build a RxPath that returns the same results that this xpath.
Lets do it to be easier to everybody.
1) I need a RxPath that be able to find a div tag like this xpath:
Code: Select all
//div[@class='classname' and .//label[text()='Name']]
.
2) I need a RxPath that find a div tag that contains
ANY ID and
ANY class name:
That's it.

Hello,
I suspect that every "lable" tag is inside a div tag. Is that right?
You could try to use a path like the following:
//div[@class='classname']//label[@innertext='Name']
The following path can be used for your the second issue.
//div[@id~'.*' and @classname~'.*' ]
Please post a Ranorex Snapshot file in from your application if this is not what you want to do.
Thank you!

Bernhard

Hello guys.
The solution for the 2nd issue works fine. Thanks.
The first one, you're right, all labels are inside a div tag, but, it's not "my target element".
Code: Select all
<form>
<div id="mainDiv">
<div class="row">
<div class="header">
<label for="Status">Status</label>
</div>
<div class="value">
<div id="xx_700645756_905e_4ede_9327_44565461942__xx" name="xx_700645756_905e_4ede_9327_44565461942__xx">
<div class="anyClassName">
<div class="buttons">
<div class="filter"></div>
<div class="show"></div>
<div class="new"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="input">
<input id="yy_7456f30_969u_4jd8_5648_3k6jrkd1941"></input>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
This is my problem. Given a label named "Status", I need to find div tags named "filter", "show" and "new" as well the input tag that has a dynamic Id.
Regards.

Hi,
If you want that Ranorex identifies the elements using the class attribute you could change the Path Weight of that attribute.
This will ensure that the class name will be automatically used when you track/record your elements.
In order to change it you have to open the "SETTINGS..." window then you have to click on the "Advanced" tab where you will find the "Edit Path Weights..." button which needs to be clicked in order to open the Editor.
In order to change the value you have to create a new rule where you have to select the "webelement" as capability the "class" as attribute and the value "Set Weight" could be set to 100.
For more details please take a look at the following blog:
Automated Testing and Dynamic IDs.
