How to handle web element(enable button) having same Xpath?

Question

I am working on a web page which having 3 web elements with 3 enable buttons and all buttons having same Xpath.so my need is to click on the button A and print the title of the webelement on every login and logout operation.

Answer 1

In my case, How I worked on this same scenario: Suppose if you have 3 buttons with the same XPath-like in my DOM:

<input type="submit" id="button" value="Edit"/>
<input type="submit" id="button" value="Edit"/>
<input type="submit" id="button" value="Edit"/>

The best option to overcome this situation is:

1. By XPath indexing option:

By.xpath("(//input[@type='submit'])[0]")  ---> To Click 1st Button
By.xpath("(//input[@type='submit'])[1]")  ---> To Click 2nd Button
By.xpath("(//input[@type='submit'])[2]")  ---> To Click 3rd Button

OR

XPath = "//input[@id='button' and @value='Edit'][0]
XPath = "//input[@id='button' and @value='Edit'][1]
XPath = "//input[@id='button' and @value='Edit'][2]

2. BY generating Absolute XPath from starting Node to Descent Node:

html/body/div[1]/form[1]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div[2]/input[0]
html/body/div[1]/form[1]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div[2]/input[1]
html/body/div[1]/form[1]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div[2]/input[2]

3. Use of List web elements:

    String cssSelectorOfBtn="input[type='submit'][id='button']"; 
 //****Add cssSelector of your 1st webelement

    List<WebElement> button =driver.findElements(By.cssSelector(cssSelectorOfBtn));
    button.get(0).click();
    button.get(1).click();
    button.get(2).click();

Let me know if it works...
