How to iterate a list of WebElements and print the values one by one to perform some action

Question

List<WebElement> allLinks = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[@class='datepicker']/div/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody[2]/tr/td[@class='' or @class='datepickerSaturday' or @class='datepickerSunday']/a/span"));

Iterator<WebElement> itr = allLinks.iterator();
while(itr.hasNext()) {
    System.out.println(itr.next());
}

I want to print the list elements one by one and perform some actions. But I am unable to get the value present in the list.

This is what I am getting in console:

[[FirefoxDriver: firefox on MAC (81e15827-9357-0341-9c72-5b26054f780d)]

Xpath:-

//div[@class='datepicker']/div/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody[2]/tr/td[@class='' or @class='datepickerSaturday' or @class='datepickerSunday']/a/span]

Answer 1

Here is a good example of how I select from a dropdown menu:

public Boolean selectByText( String text ) {
    WebElement dropDown = driver.findElement( By.xpath( ".//dropdown/path" ) );
    dropDown.click();
    List<WebElement> allOptions = dropDown.findElements(By.xpath(".//option"));
    for ( WebElement we: allOptions) { 
        dropDown.sendKeys( Keys.DOWN ); //simulate visual movement
        sleep(250);       
        if ( we.getText().contains( text ) ) select.selectByVisibleText("Value1");
    }
}

It is giving you the web element just put .getText() whenever you see such code. Do-

Iterator<WebElement> itr = allLinks.iterator();
while(itr.hasNext()) {
    System.out.println(itr.next().getText());
}

@sathiya: What kind of list you want to iterate (Dropdown..etc)?

Below is the method to get data from the table. Hope this will help you.

WebElement table = driver.findElement(By.xpath("your path"));
List<WebElement> rows = table.findElements(By.tagName("your tagName"));
java.util.Iterator<WebElement> i = rows.iterator();
while(i.hasNext()) {
    WebElement row = i.next();
    System.out.println(row.getText());
}

For dropdown list iterate you can use below code.

List<WebElement> drop = driver.findElements(By.name("customerId"));
java.util.Iterator<WebElement> i = drop.iterator();
while(i.hasNext()) {
    WebElement row = i.next();
    System.out.println(row.getText());
}

 List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//ul[@id='ctl00_MainContent_view1Extender_SearchBarAutoComplete2_2_completionListElem']//li"));
    java.util.Iterator<WebElement> program = elements.iterator();
    while (program.hasNext()) {
        String values = program.next().getText();

        if(!values.equals("null"))
        {
            testStepPassed("Field should display all the Programs defined for the provider " +values);
        }
        else
        {
            testStepFailed("Field is not display all the Programs defined for the provider ");
        }

    }

Add System.out.println(itr.next().getAttribute("src"));

List<WebElement> allLinks = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[@class='datepicker']/div/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody[2]/tr/td[@class='' or @class='datepickerSaturday' or @class='datepickerSunday']/a/span"));

Iterator<WebElement> itr = allLinks.iterator();
while(itr.hasNext()) {
    System.out.println(itr.next()**.getAttribute("src")**);

}
