I have another requirement like this in my c# selenium application. Since there are so many content in my webpage table, it will be quite nice to sort it based on the app name. I have content like this:
Description App Name Information
Some Desc1 App1 Some Info
Some Desc2 App2 Some Info
Some Desc3 App2 Some Info
Some Desc4 App3 Some Info
Some Desc5 App4 Some Info
And next to App Name, I have a sort button which lists the app names.I can click on the sort button and I could view all those app names.But I cant click on a particular app name, which I needed.
I have tried some thing like this:
var elems = driver.FindElements(By.TagName("SPAN")); //SPAN is the only attribute I could see and it is also unique for all the app names provided in the list. So, used driver.FindElements
IList<IWebElement> list = elems; //Converts it as a list
var elem= list.Equals(text); // text represents an app name provided by the user in a textbox at the start of the application. Storing that appname into a variable elem.
string targetele = elem.ToString(); //Converting it into a string
if (list.Equals(text))
{
driver.FindElement(By.Name(targetele)).Click(); //Click on a particular app name to filter
}
