You've got several options.

The simplest and most obvious (assuming there are no other <strong> elements on the page with the text "Invalid License!") is //strong[text() = "Invalid License!"]

If that fails, I'd start with //div[id = "content"]/div/div/strong[text()="Invalid License!"]

If that proves impossible, I'd try finding the button, going to its parent div, then looking within that div for the <strong> tag.

(Caveat: I am not an xpath expert - this is more of a guide to finding the element you need than completely accurate advice)

  • I am not sure that if #1 would fail there is even a chance to be successful with #2 because #1 includes all the objects including the one that could be returned by query #2.

  • You're likely correct, @AlexeyR. but if the combination of the tag and text is repeated on the page, then query #2 or method 3 would be needed.
