I have place the locator in properties file like :
header.navigation.product.link = //div[contains(@class,'grid-')]//li/a[contains(.,'%s')]
and while I'm using this locator in my code-
String headerproductlink = String.format(ConfigurationManager.getBundle()
.getString("header.navigation.category.link"), category)
And category = Women's Gym Clothing
While I'm trying to locate the element it unable to find.
even i have tried as Women\'s Gym Clothing
but no success.
Can someone please suggest a way ?
Below different ways worked for me:
Locator in Property file:
another.header=xpath=//h1[contains(.,"%s")]
Java code:
String t = "st. john\'s bay - women";
String header = String.format(getBundle().getString("another.header"), t);
CommonStep.get("https://www.jcpenney.com/g/st-johns-bay-women/N-bwo3xZ1z0nvauZ1z0nh7w");
String headerText=ElementFactory.$(header).getText();
Below also worked fine
Locator in Property file:
another.header={'locator':'xpath=//h1[contains(.,"%s")]'}
Java code:
String t = "st. john\\'s bay - women";
...
Or
Locator in Property file:
another.header={"locator":"xpath=//h1[contains(.,\\"%s\\")]"}
Java code:
String t = "st. john's bay - women";
...
In XPath 1.0 you can use either single quotes or double quotes to delimit a string literal, and you can use the other kinds of quotes to represent itself within the string. You can't have a string literal containing both single and double quotes, but you can use concat() to get around this limitation:
concat('He said: "', "I won't", '"')
The situation is complicated if the XPath expression appears within a host language that imposes its own constraints; in that case any quotes within the XPath expression must be escaped using host language conventions, for example \"
in Java, "
in XML.
