Am looking for a way to fetch the column values dynamically using testng and selenium.
I have a 2 tables for displaying account details like account id , account name ,balance , available balance.
Table 1 is for savings accounts and table 2 is for loan accounts.both table has balance and available balance column, but column position is different.
I want a single method which will accept the account id as argument (eg: id2), and return the balance of the corresponding account ? eg: if I pass id2 it
should return 500 ,if I pass id4 it should return 500.
Note : balance and available balance always be the last columns of the table .
<table id=”savings”>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>id</th>
<th>balance</th>
<th>available balance</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>id1</td>
<td>100</td>
<td>123</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>id2</td>
<td>500</td>
<td>510</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<table id=”loan”>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>id</th>
<th>description</th>
<th>nextpayment</th>
<th>balance</th>
<th>available balance</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>id3</td>
<td>first account</td>
<td>2018-09-21</td>
<td>100</td>
<td>123</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>id4</td>
<td>second account</td>
<td>2018-10-25</td>
<td>500</td>
<td>510</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
First, you can identify td using id and by using id element you can identify parent element in this way you will get the full row identified with a unique ID.
Sample XPath :
//tr[.//td[contains(text(),'id2')]]/tr
//tr[.//td[contains(text(),'id4')]]/tr
Sample method which will give you balance and available balance :
// Pass Id value as id1, id2 , id3, or id4
public void finddetailByID(String id)
{
List <WebElement> tablerows= driver.findElements(By.xpath("//tr[.//td[contains(text(),'"+id+"')]]/td"));
int rowsize=tablerows.size();
String availabebalance=tablerows.get(rowsize).getText();
String balance=tablerows.get(rowsize-1).getText();
}
Get value cell from table with id='savings'
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "E:\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("http://somethingURL");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
//insert id here
String id = "id2";
//define table by id
WebElement tbl = driver.findElement(By.id("savings"));
//get row count
List<WebElement> rows = tbl.findElements(By.tagName("tr"));
for(int i=0; i<rows.size(); i++) {
List<WebElement> row = rows.get(i).findElements(By.tagName("td"));
int columnCount = row.size();
//check row contain td, not th
if(columnCount > 0) {
// 0=index id column from table with id 'savings'
String getIDFromTable = row.get(0).getText();
if(getIDFromTable.equals(id)){
// 1=index balance column from table with id 'savings'
String getBalance = row.get(1).getText();
// 2=index available balance column from table with id 'savings'
String getAvailableBalance = row.get(2).getText();
System.out.println(getBalance);
System.out.println(getAvailableBalance);
break;
}
}
}
driver.quit();
Recommend using the xpath rather getting the column collection.
Here is the code.
public void getBalanceById(String id){
String balance= driver.findElements(By.xpath("(//td[normalize-space(.)='" + id + ']/ancestor::tr/td)[last()-1]")).gettext();
}
