大多数人的Selenium代码都涉及使用web元素.

1 - 文件上传

Because Selenium cannot interact with the file upload dialog, it provides a way to upload files without opening the dialog. If the element is an input element with type file, you can use the send keys method to send the full path to the file that will be uploaded.

    WebElement fileInput = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[type=file]"));
    fileInput.sendKeys(uploadFile.getAbsolutePath());
    driver.findElement(By.id("file-submit")).click();

    file_input = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input[type='file']")
    file_input.send_keys(upload_file)
    driver.find_element(By.ID, "file-submit").click()

            IWebElement fileInput = driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("input[type=file]"));
            fileInput.SendKeys(uploadFile);
            driver.FindElement(By.Id("file-submit")).Click();

    file_input = driver.find_element(css: 'input[type=file]')
    file_input.send_keys(upload_file)
    driver.find_element(id: 'file-submit').click

2 - 查询网络元素

根据提供的定位值定位元素.

One of the most fundamental aspects of using Selenium is obtaining element references to work with. Selenium offers a number of built-in locator strategies to uniquely identify an element. There are many ways to use the locators in very advanced scenarios. For the purposes of this documentation, let’s consider this HTML snippet:

<ol id="vegetables">
 <li class="potatoes">…
 <li class="onions">…
 <li class="tomatoes"><span>Tomato is a Vegetable</span>…
</ol>
<ul id="fruits">
  <li class="bananas">…
  <li class="apples">…
  <li class="tomatoes"><span>Tomato is a Fruit</span>…
</ul>

First matching element

Many locators will match multiple elements on the page. The singular find element method will return a reference to the first element found within a given context.

Evaluating entire DOM

When the find element method is called on the driver instance, it returns a reference to the first element in the DOM that matches with the provided locator. This value can be stored and used for future element actions. In our example HTML above, there are two elements that have a class name of “tomatoes” so this method will return the element in the “vegetables” list.

WebElement vegetable = driver.findElement(By.className("tomatoes"));

vegetable = driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, "tomatoes")

var vegetable = driver.FindElement(By.ClassName("tomatoes"));

      driver.find_element(class: 'tomatoes')

View full example on GitHub

const vegetable = await driver.findElement(By.className('tomatoes'));

val vegetable: WebElement = driver.findElement(By.className("tomatoes"))

Evaluating a subset of the DOM

Rather than finding a unique locator in the entire DOM, it is often useful to narrow the search to the scope of another located element. In the above example there are two elements with a class name of “tomatoes” and it is a little more challenging to get the reference for the second one.

One solution is to locate an element with a unique attribute that is an ancestor of the desired element and not an ancestor of the undesired element, then call find element on that object:

WebElement fruits = driver.findElement(By.id("fruits"));
WebElement fruit = fruits.findElement(By.className("tomatoes"));

fruits = driver.find_element(By.ID, "fruits")
fruit = fruits.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME,"tomatoes")

IWebElement fruits = driver.FindElement(By.Id("fruits"));
IWebElement fruit = fruits.FindElement(By.ClassName("tomatoes"));

      fruits = driver.find_element(id: 'fruits')
      fruit = fruits.find_element(class: 'tomatoes')

View full example on GitHub

const fruits = await driver.findElement(By.id('fruits'));
const fruit = fruits.findElement(By.className('tomatoes'));

val fruits = driver.findElement(By.id("fruits"))
val fruit = fruits.findElement(By.className("tomatoes"))

Java and C#
WebDriver, WebElement and ShadowRoot classes all implement a SearchContext interface, which is considered a role-based interface. Role-based interfaces allow you to determine whether a particular driver implementation supports a given feature. These interfaces are clearly defined and try to adhere to having only a single role of responsibility.

Optimized locator

A nested lookup might not be the most effective location strategy since it requires two separate commands to be issued to the browser.

To improve the performance slightly, we can use either CSS or XPath to find this element in a single command. See the Locator strategy suggestions in our Encouraged test practices section.

For this example, we’ll use a CSS Selector:

WebElement fruit = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#fruits .tomatoes"));

fruit = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR,"#fruits .tomatoes")

var fruit = driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("#fruits .tomatoes"));

      fruit = driver.find_element(css: '#fruits .tomatoes')

View full example on GitHub

const fruit = await driver.findElement(By.css('#fruits .tomatoes'));

val fruit = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#fruits .tomatoes"))

All matching elements

There are several use cases for needing to get references to all elements that match a locator, rather than just the first one. The plural find elements methods return a collection of element references. If there are no matches, an empty list is returned. In this case, references to all fruits and vegetable list items will be returned in a collection.

List<WebElement> plants = driver.findElements(By.tagName("li"));

plants = driver.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, "li")

IReadOnlyList<IWebElement> plants = driver.FindElements(By.TagName("li"));

      plants = driver.find_elements(tag_name: 'li')

View full example on GitHub

const plants = await driver.findElements(By.tagName('li'));

val plants: List<WebElement> = driver.findElements(By.tagName("li"))

Get element

Often you get a collection of elements but want to work with a specific element, which means you need to iterate over the collection and identify the one you want.

List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By.tagName("li"));

for (WebElement element : elements) {
    System.out.println("Paragraph text:" + element.getText());
}

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

driver = webdriver.Firefox()

    # Navigate to Url
driver.get("https://www.example.com")

    # Get all the elements available with tag name 'p'
elements = driver.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, 'p')

for e in elements:
    print(e.text)

using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace FindElementsExample {
 class FindElementsExample {
  public static void Main(string[] args) {
   IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
   try {
    // Navigate to Url
    driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://example.com");

    // Get all the elements available with tag name 'p'
    IList < IWebElement > elements = driver.FindElements(By.TagName("p"));
    foreach(IWebElement e in elements) {
     System.Console.WriteLine(e.Text);
    }

   } finally {
    driver.Quit();
   }
  }
 }
}

      elements = driver.find_elements(:tag_name,'p')
         elements.each { |e| puts e.text }

Find Elements From Element

It is used to find the list of matching child WebElements within the context of parent element. To achieve this, the parent WebElement is chained with ‘findElements’ to access child elements

  import org.openqa.selenium.By;
  import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
  import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
  import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
  import java.util.List;

          WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
          try {
              driver.get("https://example.com");

              // Get element with tag name 'div'
              WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.tagName("div"));

              // Get all the elements available with tag name 'p'
              List<WebElement> elements = element.findElements(By.tagName("p"));
              for (WebElement e : elements) {
                  System.out.println(e.getText());
              }
          } finally {
              driver.quit();
          }

Get Active Element

It is used to track (or) find DOM element which has the focus in the current browsing context.

  import org.openqa.selenium.*;
  import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

  public class activeElementTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
      WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
      try {
        driver.get("http://www.google.com");
        driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("[name='q']")).sendKeys("webElement");

        // Get attribute of current active element
        String attr = driver.switchTo().activeElement().getAttribute("title");
        System.out.println(attr);
      } finally {
        driver.quit();
      }
    }
  }

  from selenium import webdriver
  from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

  driver = webdriver.Chrome()
  driver.get("https://www.google.com")
  driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, '[name="q"]').send_keys("webElement")

    # Get attribute of current active element
  attr = driver.switch_to.active_element.get_attribute("title")
  print(attr)

    using OpenQA.Selenium;
    using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;

    namespace ActiveElement {
     class ActiveElement {

       IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
       try {
        // Navigate to Url
        driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.google.com");
        driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("[name='q']")).SendKeys("webElement");

        // Get attribute of current active element
        string attr = driver.SwitchTo().ActiveElement().GetAttribute("title");
        System.Console.WriteLine(attr);
       } finally {
        driver.Quit();
       }
      }
     }

          print(attr)
      } finally {
          driver.quit()
      }
  }

3 - Web元素交互

用于操纵表单的高级指令集.

仅有五种基本命令可用于元素的操作:

点击 (适用于任何元素)
发送键位 (仅适用于文本字段和内容可编辑元素)
清除 (仅适用于文本字段和内容可编辑元素)
提交 (仅适用于表单元素)
选择 (参见选择列表元素)

附加验证

这些方法的设计目的是尽量模拟用户体验, 所以, 与 Actions接口不同, 在指定制定操作之前, 会尝试执行两件事.

如果它确定元素在视口之外, 则会将元素滚动到视图中, 特别是将元素底部与视口底部对齐.
确保元素在执行操作之前是可交互的 . 这可能意味着滚动不成功, 或者该元素没有以其他方式显示.
确定某个元素是否显示在页面上太难了无法直接在webdriver规范中定义, 因此Selenium发送一个带有JavaScript原子的执行命令, 检查是否有可能阻止该元素显示. 如果确定某个元素不在视口中, 不显示, 不可键盘交互, 或不可指针交互, 则返回一个元素不可交互错误.

点击

元素点击命令执行在元素中央. 如果元素中央由于某些原因被遮挡 , Selenium将返回一个元素点击中断错误.

        driver.get("https://www.selenium.dev/selenium/web/inputs.html");

	    // Click on the element 
        WebElement checkInput=driver.findElement(By.name("checkbox_input"));
        checkInput.click();

View full example on GitHub

    # Navigate to url
	driver.get("https://www.selenium.dev/selenium/web/inputs.html")

    # Click on the element 
	driver.find_element(By.NAME, "color_input").click()

            // Navigate to Url
	            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.selenium.dev/selenium/web/inputs.html");
	            // Click on the element 
	            IWebElement checkInput = driver.FindElement(By.Name("checkbox_input"));
	            checkInput.Click();

    // Navigate to Url
    driver.get("https://www.selenium.dev/selenium/web/inputs.html")

    // Click the element
    driver.findElement(By.name("color_input")).click();

发送键位

元素发送键位命令将录入提供的键位到可编辑的元素. 通常, 这意味着元素是具有 文本 类型的表单的输入元素或具有 内容可编辑 属性的元素. 如果不可编辑, 则返回无效元素状态错误.

以下是WebDriver支持的按键列表.

        // Clear field to empty it from any previous data
        WebElement emailInput=driver.findElement(By.name("email_input"));
        emailInput.clear();
	    //Enter Text
        String email="admin@localhost.dev";
	    emailInput.sendKeys(email);

    # Navigate to url
	driver.get("https://www.selenium.dev/selenium/web/inputs.html")

    # Clear field to empty it from any previous data
	driver.find_element(By.NAME, "email_input").clear()

	# Enter Text
	driver.find_element(By.NAME, "email_input").send_keys("admin@localhost.dev" )

            //SendKeys
	            // Clear field to empty it from any previous data
	            IWebElement emailInput = driver.FindElement(By.Name("email_input"));
	            emailInput.Clear();
	            //Enter Text
	            String email = "admin@localhost.dev";
	            emailInput.SendKeys(email);

	driver.findElement(By.name("email_input")).clear()
	
    // Enter text 
    driver.findElement(By.name("email_input")).sendKeys("admin@localhost.dev")

清除

元素清除命令重置元素的内容. 这要求元素可编辑, 且可重置. 通常, 这意味着元素是具有 文本 类型的表单的输入元素或具有 内容可编辑 属性的元素. 如果不满足这些条件, 将返回无效元素状态错误.

        //Clear Element
        // Clear field to empty it from any previous data
        emailInput.clear();

            //Clear Element
	            // Clear field to empty it from any previous data
	            emailInput.Clear();
	            data = emailInput.GetAttribute("value");

    driver.get("https://www.selenium.dev/selenium/web/inputs.html")

	//Clear field to empty it from any previous data
	driver.findElement(By.name("email_input")).clear()

提交

在Selenium 4中, 不再通过单独的端点以及脚本执行的方法来实现. 因此, 建议不要使用此方法, 而是单击相应的表单提交按钮.

4 - 定位策略

在DOM中标识一个或多个特定元素的方法.

定位器是在页面上标识元素的一种方法。它是传送给查找元素方法的参数。

查看鼓励测试练习寻找定位器的小技巧，包含在查找方法中，不同时间，不同原因下，单独声明的定位器的使用方法。

元素选择策略

在 WebDriver 中有 8 种不同的内置元素定位策略：

定位器 Locator	描述
class name	定位class属性与搜索值匹配的元素（不允许使用复合类名）
css selector	定位 CSS 选择器匹配的元素
id	定位 id 属性与搜索值匹配的元素
name	定位 name 属性与搜索值匹配的元素
link text	定位link text可视文本与搜索值完全匹配的锚元素
partial link text	定位link text可视文本部分与搜索值部分匹配的锚点元素。如果匹配多个元素，则只选择第一个元素。
tag name	定位标签名称与搜索值匹配的元素
xpath	定位与 XPath 表达式匹配的元素

Creating Locators

To work on a web element using Selenium, we need to first locate it on the web page. Selenium provides us above mentioned ways, using which we can locate element on the page. To understand and create locator we will use the following HTML snippet.

<html>
<body>
<style>
.information {
  background-color: white;
  color: black;
  padding: 10px;
}
</style>
<h2>Contact Selenium</h2>

<form action="/action_page.php">
  <input type="radio" name="gender" value="m" />Male &nbsp;
  <input type="radio" name="gender" value="f" />Female <br>
  <br>
  <label for="fname">First name:</label><br>
  <input class="information" type="text" id="fname" name="fname" value="Jane"><br><br>
  <label for="lname">Last name:</label><br>
  <input class="information" type="text" id="lname" name="lname" value="Doe"><br><br>
  <label for="newsletter">Newsletter:</label>
  <input type="checkbox" name="newsletter" value="1" /><br><br>
  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form> 

<p>To know more about Selenium, visit the official page 
<a href ="www.selenium.dev">Selenium Official Page</a> 
</p>

</body>
</html>

class name

The HTML page web element can have attribute class. We can see an example in the above shown HTML snippet. We can identify these elements using the class name locator available in Selenium.

    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
	driver.findElement(By.className("information"));

    driver = webdriver.Chrome()
	driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, "information")

    var driver = new ChromeDriver();
	driver.FindElement(By.ClassName("information"));

    driver.find_element(class: 'information')

View full example on GitHub

    let driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('chrome').build();
	const loc = await driver.findElement(By.className('information'));

    val driver = ChromeDriver()
	val loc: WebElement = driver.findElement(By.className("information"))

css selector

CSS is the language used to style HTML pages. We can use css selector locator strategy to identify the element on the page. If the element has an id, we create the locator as css = #id. Otherwise the format we follow is css =[attribute=value] . Let us see an example from above HTML snippet. We will create locator for First Name textbox, using css.

    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
	driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#fname"));

    driver = webdriver.Chrome()
	driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#fname")

    var driver = new ChromeDriver();
	driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("#fname"));

    driver.find_element(css: '#fname')

View full example on GitHub

    let driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('chrome').build();
	const loc = await driver.findElement(By.css('#fname'));

    val driver = ChromeDriver()
	val loc: WebElement = driver.findElement(By.css("#fname"))

id

We can use the ID attribute available with element in a web page to locate it. Generally the ID property should be unique for a element on the web page. We will identify the Last Name field using it.

    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
	driver.findElement(By.id("lname"));

    driver = webdriver.Chrome()
	driver.find_element(By.ID, "lname")

    var driver = new ChromeDriver();
	driver.FindElement(By.Id("lname"));

    driver.find_element(id: 'lname')

View full example on GitHub

    let driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('chrome').build();
	const loc = await driver.findElement(By.id('lname'));

    val driver = ChromeDriver()
	val loc: WebElement = driver.findElement(By.id("lname"))

name

We can use the NAME attribute available with element in a web page to locate it. Generally the NAME property should be unique for a element on the web page. We will identify the Newsletter checkbox using it.

    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
	driver.findElement(By.name("newsletter"));

    driver = webdriver.Chrome()
	driver.find_element(By.NAME, "newsletter")

    var driver = new ChromeDriver();
	driver.FindElement(By.Name("newsletter"));

    driver.find_element(name: 'newsletter')

    let driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('chrome').build();
	const loc = await driver.findElement(By.name('newsletter'));

    val driver = ChromeDriver()
	val loc: WebElement = driver.findElement(By.name("newsletter"))

link text

If the element we want to locate is a link, we can use the link text locator to identify it on the web page. The link text is the text displayed of the link. In the HTML snippet shared, we have a link available, lets see how will we locate it.

    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
	driver.findElement(By.linkText("Selenium Official Page"));

    driver = webdriver.Chrome()
	driver.find_element(By.LINK_TEXT, "Selenium Official Page")

    var driver = new ChromeDriver();
	driver.FindElement(By.LinkText("Selenium Official Page"));

    driver.find_element(link_text: 'Selenium Official Page')

    let driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('chrome').build();
	const loc = await driver.findElement(By.linkText('Selenium Official Page'));

    val driver = ChromeDriver()
	val loc: WebElement = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Selenium Official Page"))

partial link text

If the element we want to locate is a link, we can use the partial link text locator to identify it on the web page. The link text is the text displayed of the link. We can pass partial text as value. In the HTML snippet shared, we have a link available, lets see how will we locate it.

    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
	driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("Official Page"));

    driver = webdriver.Chrome()
	driver.find_element(By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT, "Official Page")

    var driver = new ChromeDriver();
	driver.FindElement(By.PartialLinkText("Official Page"));

    driver.find_element(partial_link_text: 'Official Page')

View full example on GitHub

    let driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('chrome').build();
	const loc = await driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText('Official Page'));

    val driver = ChromeDriver()
	val loc: WebElement = driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("Official Page"))

tag name

We can use the HTML TAG itself as a locator to identify the web element on the page. From the above HTML snippet shared, lets identify the link, using its html tag “a”.

    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
	driver.findElement(By.tagName("a"));

    driver = webdriver.Chrome()
	driver.find_element(By.TAG_NAME, "a")

    var driver = new ChromeDriver();
	driver.FindElement(By.TagName("a"));

    driver.find_element(tag_name: 'a')

View full example on GitHub

    let driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('chrome').build();
	const loc = await driver.findElement(By.tagName('a'));

    val driver = ChromeDriver()
	val loc: WebElement = driver.findElement(By.tagName("a"))

xpath

A HTML document can be considered as a XML document, and then we can use xpath which will be the path traversed to reach the element of interest to locate the element. The XPath could be absolute xpath, which is created from the root of the document. Example - /html/form/input[1]. This will return the male radio button. Or the xpath could be relative. Example- //input[@name=‘fname’]. This will return the first name text box. Let us create locator for female radio button using xpath.

    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
	driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@value='f']"));

    driver = webdriver.Chrome()
	driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//input[@value='f']")

    var driver = new ChromeDriver();
	driver.FindElement(By.Xpath("//input[@value='f']"));

    driver.find_element(xpath: "//input[@value='f']")

View full example on GitHub

    let driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('chrome').build();
	const loc = await driver.findElement(By.xpath('//input[@value='f']'));

    val driver = ChromeDriver()
	val loc: WebElement = driver.findElement(By.xpath('//input[@value='f']'))

Relative Locators

Selenium 4 introduces Relative Locators (previously called as Friendly Locators). These locators are helpful when it is not easy to construct a locator for the desired element, but easy to describe spatially where the element is in relation to an element that does have an easily constructed locator.

How it works

Selenium uses the JavaScript function getBoundingClientRect() to determine the size and position of elements on the page, and can use this information to locate neighboring elements.
find the relative elements.

Relative locator methods can take as the argument for the point of origin, either a previously located element reference, or another locator. In these examples we’ll be using locators only, but you could swap the locator in the final method with an element object and it will work the same.

Let us consider the below example for understanding the relative locators.

Relative Locators

Available relative locators

Above

If the email text field element is not easily identifiable for some reason, but the password text field element is, we can locate the text field element using the fact that it is an “input” element “above” the password element.

By emailLocator = RelativeLocator.with(By.tagName("input")).above(By.id("password"));

email_locator = locate_with(By.TAG_NAME, "input").above({By.ID: "password"})

var emailLocator = RelativeBy.WithLocator(By.TagName("input")).Above(By.Id("password"));

      driver.find_element({relative: {tag_name: 'input', above: {id: 'password'}}})

View full example on GitHub

let emailLocator = locateWith(By.tagName('input')).above(By.id('password'));

val emailLocator = RelativeLocator.with(By.tagName("input")).above(By.id("password"))

Below

If the password text field element is not easily identifiable for some reason, but the email text field element is, we can locate the text field element using the fact that it is an “input” element “below” the email element.

By passwordLocator = RelativeLocator.with(By.tagName("input")).below(By.id("email"));

password_locator = locate_with(By.TAG_NAME, "input").below({By.ID: "email"})

var passwordLocator = RelativeBy.WithLocator(By.TagName("input")).Below(By.Id("email"));

      driver.find_element({relative: {tag_name: 'input', below: {id: 'email'}}})

View full example on GitHub

let passwordLocator = locateWith(By.tagName('input')).below(By.id('email'));

val passwordLocator = RelativeLocator.with(By.tagName("input")).below(By.id("email"))

Left of

If the cancel button is not easily identifiable for some reason, but the submit button element is, we can locate the cancel button element using the fact that it is a “button” element to the “left of” the submit element.

By cancelLocator = RelativeLocator.with(By.tagName("button")).toLeftOf(By.id("submit"));

cancel_locator = locate_with(By.TAG_NAME, "button").to_left_of({By.ID: "submit"})

var cancelLocator = RelativeBy.WithLocator(By.tagName("button")).LeftOf(By.Id("submit"));

      driver.find_element({relative: {tag_name: 'button', left: {id: 'submit'}}})

View full example on GitHub

let cancelLocator = locateWith(By.tagName('button')).toLeftOf(By.id('submit'));

val cancelLocator = RelativeLocator.with(By.tagName("button")).toLeftOf(By.id("submit"))

Right of

If the submit button is not easily identifiable for some reason, but the cancel button element is, we can locate the submit button element using the fact that it is a “button” element “to the right of” the cancel element.

By submitLocator = RelativeLocator.with(By.tagName("button")).toRightOf(By.id("cancel"));

submit_locator = locate_with(By.TAG_NAME, "button").to_right_of({By.ID: "cancel"})

var submitLocator = RelativeBy.WithLocator(By.tagName("button")).RightOf(By.Id("cancel"));

      driver.find_element({relative: {tag_name: 'button', right: {id: 'cancel'}}})

View full example on GitHub

let submitLocator = locateWith(By.tagName('button')).toRightOf(By.id('cancel'));

val submitLocator = RelativeLocator.with(By.tagName("button")).toRightOf(By.id("cancel"))

Near

If the relative positioning is not obvious, or it varies based on window size, you can use the near method to identify an element that is at most 50px away from the provided locator. One great use case for this is to work with a form element that doesn’t have an easily constructed locator, but its associated input label element does.

By emailLocator = RelativeLocator.with(By.tagName("input")).near(By.id("lbl-email"));

email_locator = locate_with(By.TAG_NAME, "input").near({By.ID: "lbl-email"})

var emailLocator = RelativeBy.WithLocator(By.tagName("input")).Near(By.Id("lbl-email"));

      driver.find_element({relative: {tag_name: 'input', near: {id: 'lbl-email'}}})

View full example on GitHub

let emailLocator = locateWith(By.tagName('input')).near(By.id('lbl-email'));

val emailLocator = RelativeLocator.with(By.tagName("input")).near(By.id("lbl-email"));

Chaining relative locators

You can also chain locators if needed. Sometimes the element is most easily identified as being both above/below one element and right/left of another.

By submitLocator = RelativeLocator.with(By.tagName("button")).below(By.id("email")).toRightOf(By.id("cancel"));

submit_locator = locate_with(By.TAG_NAME, "button").below({By.ID: "email"}).to_right_of({By.ID: "cancel"})

var submitLocator = RelativeBy.WithLocator(By.tagName("button")).Below(By.Id("email")).RightOf(By.Id("cancel"));

      driver.find_element({relative: {tag_name: 'button', below: {id: 'email'}, right: {id: 'cancel'}}})

View full example on GitHub

let submitLocator = locateWith(By.tagName('button')).below(By.id('email')).toRightOf(By.id('cancel'));

val submitLocator = RelativeLocator.with(By.tagName("button")).below(By.id("email")).toRightOf(By.id("cancel"))

5 - 关于网络元素的信息

元素相关的知识.

您可以查询有关特定元素的许多详细信息。

是否显示

此方法用于检查连接的元素是否正确显示在网页上. 返回一个 Boolean 值，如果连接的元素显示在当前的浏览器上下文中，则为True，否则返回false。

此功能于W3C规范中提及，但由于无法覆盖所有潜在条件而无法定义。因此，Selenium不能期望驱动程序直接实现这种功能，现在依赖于直接执行大量JavaScript函数。这个函数对一个元素的性质和在树中的关系做了许多近似的判断，以返回一个值。

         driver.get("https://www.selenium.dev/selenium/web/inputs.html");

    	// isDisplayed        
        // Get boolean value for is element display
        boolean isEmailVisible = driver.findElement(By.name("email_input")).isDisplayed();
        assertEquals(isEmailVisible,true);

# Navigate to the url
driver.get("https://www.selenium.dev/selenium/web/inputs.html")

# Get boolean value for is element display
is_email_visible = driver.find_element(By.NAME, "email_input").is_displayed()

//Navigate to the url
driver.Url = "https://www.selenium.dev/selenium/web/inputs.html";

//Get boolean value for is element display
Boolean is_email_visible = driver.FindElement(By.Name("email_input")).Displayed;

# Navigate to the url
driver.get("https://www.selenium.dev/selenium/web/inputs.html");

#fetch display status
val = driver.find_element(name: 'email_input').displayed?

    // Resolves Promise and returns boolean value
    let result =  await driver.findElement(By.name("email_input")).isDisplayed();

//navigates to url
 driver.get("https://www.selenium.dev/selenium/web/inputs.html")

 //returns true if element is displayed else returns false
 val flag = driver.findElement(By.name("email_input")).isDisplayed()

是否启用

此方法用于检查所连接的元素在网页上是启用还是禁用状态。返回一个布尔值，如果在当前浏览上下文中是启用状态，则返回 true，否则返回 false。

        //isEnabled
       //returns true if element is enabled else returns false
        boolean isEnabledButton = driver.findElement(By.name("button_input")).isEnabled();
        assertEquals(isEnabledButton,true);
