copied!<p>Both of the above answers suffer from the same problem. By returning the completed XPath with the <code>.toLowerCase()</code> function called, any XPath containing an id with a capital letter will not work. </p> <p>Example: <code>//div[@id="deviceblock-1111"]</code> will not work on tag <code><div id="deviceBlock-1111"></code> </p> <p>You could however just remove the <code>.toLowerCase()</code> call off the return but you'll end up with XPath's looking like this: <code>//DIV[@id="deviceBlock-1111"]/DIV[2]/SELECT[1]/OPTION[5]</code> </p> <p>To solve this use the function below.</p> <pre><code>public String GetElementXPath(WebElement element, WebDriver driver) { return (String) ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript( "getXPath=function(node)" + "{" + "if (node.id !== '')" + "{" + "return '//' + node.tagName.toLowerCase() + '[@id=\"' + node.id + '\"]'" + "}" + "if (node === document.body)" + "{" + "return node.tagName.toLowerCase()" + "}" + "var nodeCount = 0;" + "var childNodes = node.parentNode.childNodes;" + "for (var i=0; i<childNodes.length; i++)" + "{" + "var currentNode = childNodes[i];" + "if (currentNode === node)" + "{" + "return getXPath(node.parentNode) + '/' + node.tagName.toLowerCase() + '[' + (nodeCount+1) + ']'" + "}" + "if (currentNode.nodeType === 1 && " + "currentNode.tagName.toLowerCase() === node.tagName.toLowerCase())" + "{" + "nodeCount++" + "}" + "}" + "};" + "return getXPath(arguments[0]);", element); } </code></pre> <p>This will return a correctly formatted, unique XPath from your WebElement. </p> <p><code>//div[@id="deviceBlock-1111"]/div[2]/select[1]/option[5]</code></p>
