Current value of href for the login button on this website: https://www.firmex.com is provided below:

<a href="https://login.firmex.com/?utm_campaign=login_button_on_firmex&amp;utm_source=firmex.com&amp;utm_medium=login_button%20&amp;_ga=2.239553475.1528002918.1522096243-201959362.1514578998" >

What would be the correct xpath for this href. I have used the following value:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@href='https://login.firmex.com/?utm_campaign=login_button_on_firmex&amp;utm_source=firmex.com&amp;utm_medium=login_button%20&amp;_ga=2.239553475.1528002918.1522096243-201959362.1514578998']")).click();

Any inputs would be appreciated.

You should use this as a xpath locator to locate the login button for this website:

xpath = //a[@class='button login']

This should remain consistent unlike the href that would change as it apparently is appending the GA cookie value (_ga=something) in the href value.

Thanks!

  • Just to be a bit more error proof I would suggest the following xpath expression: //nav[@id='site-navigation']/a[@class='button login'] as the navigation pane seems to have solid id.
