How to obtain the page element xpath in various browsers)

When recording web automation scripts, one of the most troublesome tasks is to locate the elements to be detected.

The difficulty lies in the following two points:

1. if Id positioning is required, developers need to work with each other. Sometimes developers forget to add it. Sometimes, if multiple table nesting occurs, it is difficult to add IDs to dynamically generate unknown quantities.

2. Generally, Dom locating functions or XPath are required without ID. When multiple layers of nesting occur, this will make people crazy.

 

Is there a tool that allows us to quickly obtain an Element's Xpath?

 

The answer must be yes!

Demand will certainly drive programmers to develop such things, and those with a communist spirit will be willing to share them.

Google searches, and a tool named x path for free is available soon!

This tool is a chrome plug-in. After the tool is downloaded and installed, a mark will appear in the upper-right corner of chrome. Click it and click the element to be located. The XPath in the lower-right corner of the element is generated, you can copy it as needed. With this, the positioning becomes a piece of cake, and there is no need to count the table anymore.
