I'm using Selenium to verify the presence of certain text in a web page. This is how the html looks like.
<html>
<div class="a-content">
<!--!-->==$0
"
Text to Find"
<br>
<br>
"
Second Text to find"
<br>
</div>
The only way I have been able to identify this text is through xpath.
//div[contains(@class, 'a-content')]//br[1]/preceding-sibling::text()[1]
I'm not able to use the regular way of identifying this element at it returns an object Text instead of an element.
var x = webDriver.FindElement(By.XPath("//div[contains(@class, 'a-content')]//br[1]/preceding-sibling::text()")).Text;
This is the error I get:
OpenQA.Selenium.InvalidSelectorException : invalid selector: The result of the xpath expression "//div[contains(@class, 'a-content')]//br[1]/preceding-sibling::text()" is: [object Text]. It should be an element.
Alternately, I have tried using JavaScript Executer for finding this text object. But when I run below code it returns null.
IJavaScriptExecutor javascriptExecutor = (IJavaScriptExecutor)webDriver;
String value = (String)javascriptExecutor.ExecuteScript("document.evaluate("//div[contains(@class, 'a-content')]//br[1]/preceding-sibling::text()[1]") ; ");
Any help on this is appreciated.
