I have couple of doubts. Please help me to clear.
1. Why I always need to launch new browser every-time when I run selenium code. Why I won't run the selenium code in the same browser in which which I am currently working with my stuffs.
--->Is there any method to do the same? Then please make a video tutorial to explain.
2. Is there any method to fetch our the list of navigated browser history?

Hi Naveen.My auto suggestion is coming like searchbar in the left when running the script. Xpath and all are correct but due to this I am getting count as 0. while in original chrome it is giving auto suggestion not like this. Kindly solve this doubt
Thank you sir
Hi Naveen, I have tried this multiple time but getting size 0. In the browser I am getting the size means able to inspect the element. Could anyone help me on this.
useful . thanks for sharing
Thanks
Hi Naveen
Output is not getting print on console with below code,Count is coming correct
for (int i=0;i
Hi Naveen,
First of all, thanks a lot for preparing video lectures.
I have a question on this video. You have used //li/descendant::div in the xpath, however I tried with //li//div. The number and type of elements returned were same in both the cases. So, are both the ways right of doing this or only in this case it is returning the same elements.
If both are right way than is descendant equivalent to double slash ("//") and child equivalent to single slash ("/").
You response is awaited.
Thanks,
Chirag
I like ur video bcz u r telling real time scenario very nicee i want to talk with u o want to learn many things please help me
Hello Naveen,
Thankyou so much for your videos they are very helpful.
Can you please explain the difference between / and // while writing xpath?
As per my research what i found is / will make selenium search the tag immediate next to the search node,where // will enable selenium to search the entire document is it true?
Please help me with your explaination on this.
Thanks in advance.
yes correct!
This is superb..this is what exactly I was looking for. Your explanation is very clear and simple.. Thank you.
very helpful
Hi naveen sir,
I am using tha same code which ur explaining but still I am getting 0 elements as length.

Please help me out!!

Hi Kanishka... I was facing the same issue. try by adding the following code
Thread.sleep(1000);
before fetching the suggestion list. Thanks.
Awesome
why we use colons while writing the dynamic expath
Hi Naveen,
There is an issue ---it is printing all suggestion if we are not clicking any element but if we are clicking any element then it is printing uptill that element only and rest of the suggested element are not printed.

Hello Naveen, I have given the xpath for the search box and sendkeys, but it is not recognizing and not giving any recomendations for the search. Finally the result is showing that there are 0 recomendations for the search. Please help me.
Try this script it will work.....

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("www.google.com");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='lst-ib']")).sendKeys("selenium");
//without descendant
List ele = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[@class='sbqs_c']"));
//with descendant
//List ele = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//ul[@role='listbox']//li/descendant::div[@class='sbqs_c']"));
System.out.println(ele.size());

Lavanya implicit time lo code me tab sahi chalega
Hi Naveen . Great to see your videos. when i was practicing dynamic google search I am getting a after div where we select a particular choice out of suggestion list. i used the class as Sb11 but after that there is Span tag because of whihc i am getting total list as zero. could you please suggest . used the code as below
List list = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//ul[@role='listbox']//li/descendant::div[@class='sb11']"));
Hi@swapna M did you get a resolution?
Use driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS); after launching the browser if you haven't already. Also recheck the class name again since Google changes the code often.
This ain't working. I am getting the size as 0. Also, the source code of google page has changed. please help.
Wat if that has testingtutorial ? How can we write the xpath in this case ?
xpath("//ul[@role='listbox']//li/descendant::div[@class='sbl1']")
ignore span tag..Use div tag ,that contains search term and tags .....
for me its worked properly....

Hi Naveen,
Thanks for this expalnation.I tried the same but i am gettiing Invalid selector Error.
i have used this line to get the list:
java.util.List list=driver.findElements(By.xpath("ul//[@role='listbox']//li/descendant::div[@class='sbqs_c']"))
Coz Google search locator has been changed now.

No I believe it is what I have pasted here
Check is your script contains wait/implicitlyWait statement or not... if not add wait it will work... it works with and without descendant.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("www.google.com");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='lst-ib']")).sendKeys("selenium");
//without descendant
List ele = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[@class='sbqs_c']"));
//with descendant
//List ele = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//ul[@role='listbox']//li/descendant::div[@class='sbqs_c']"));
System.out.println(ele.size());

Can you please let me know, difference between below 2 xpaths

What is the befinit we are getting by using 'descendant', the same can be achieved with //.
//ul[@id='something']//ul//div[@class='xyz'] ------it works but ---- //ul[@id='something']//ul//descendant ::div[@class='xyz'] ------it doesn't work
Sir , You have to put Explicit wait before listing the web element . because some time it gives count 0 , when we put the wait for that it always gives the right count .
you just saved my day..i just had to implement a wait condition and it worked like a charm.
Thanyou Manas Sir, now its working by taking implicit time.
Naveen, can i have your email please, i need help writing xpath. Thank you
Watch all his Xpath videos you will be in a great position to write xpath yourself.
Good luck

Thanks but you made this video too long
if is present inside last tag, or if the list.size()=0 try webdriverwait():

Those who are facing issue and confused with span tag in between can try this xpath:-
List list=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//ul[@role='listbox' and @class='G43f7e']/parent::div[@class='OBMEnb']//preceding-sibling::div[@class='mkHrUc']//li/descendant::div[@class='wM6W7d WggQGd']"));
Also, if you are getting count as 0 make sure you give explicit wait just before writing your xpath
Thanks bro,it works
