Below is my code to locate an element. 

WebElement clickNextButton = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(),'Export')]"));
         clickNextButton.click();

I want to locate a button,among multiple buttons with same name and with same CSS code as below:

<button ng-disabled="tx.QA_Status != 'VERIFIED'" class="btn btn-primary gray btn-xs" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exportTransactionModal" ng-click="resetModal('exportTransactionModal');exportTransaction(tx.head,tx.transactionId);">
                                <i class="fa fa-file-text-o"></i>&nbsp;Export
                            </button>


<button ng-disabled="tx.QA_Status != 'VERIFIED'" class="btn btn-primary gray btn-xs" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exportTransactionModal" ng-click="resetModal('exportTransactionModal');exportTransaction(tx.head,tx.transactionId);">
                                <i class="fa fa-file-text-o"></i>&nbsp;Export
                            </button>

I am unable to locate because transaction is done using AngularJS. and exportTransaction method is called in JS file.

Reset to default

By.xpath("(//button[@class='btn btn-primary gray btn-xs'])[1]");

The above xpath will locate the first match.

  • You have used absolute xpath.Instead of using absolute xpath ,start using relative xpath because when there is a change in the DOM ,absolute xpath will not work.

Why not

$$('.btn.btn-primary.gray.btn-xs').first();

if the Export button is first element

Or 

$$('.btn.btn-primary.gray.btn-xs')[0] //for the first element with the class.

Or

$$('.btn.btn-primary.gray.btn-xs').get(index).element(by.xpath("//button[contains(text(),'Export')]"))

  • /* WebElement container = button.findElement(By.xpath("current()/ancestor-or-self::button[1][contains(@class, 'btn.btn-primary.gray.btn-xs')]") ); container.click();*/ /*driver.manage().window().maximize(); WebDriverWait wait5 = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30); WebElement button3 = wait5.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("btn.btn-primary.gray.btn-xs[text()='Export'][0]"))); button3.click();*/
