Want to test ebay site login without using Xpath

Question

I want to test the Ebay site login, without using Xpath. It is not working, right now. I tried for hours to make this work. Please tell me what I am doing wrong and how to fix it.

This is what I am doing:

1. Open Google website
2. Search for “ebay” website
3. Click on the appropriate result
4. Go to http://www.ebay.com website
5. Click on the “Sign in” link to navigate to the ebay login page
6. Enter email address/password
7. Click on Sign In button
8. Verify your user name.

Answer 1

It looks live you've answered your own question

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a[href='www.ebay.com']"))

but the DOM says that element is

<a href="https://www.ebay.com/" ..../>

So update your code to reflect this different href exactly
