SeleniumLibrary element positioning

SeleniumLibrary provides two explicit locator strategies for specifying prefixes. The first:

strategy:value

This syntax only supports SeleniumLibrary version 3 and above, and is a new positioning method.

The second:

strategy=value

This syntax is the syntax for command parameters that Robot Framework typically uses.

Element methods supported by SeleniumLibrary:

= Strategy = = Match based on = = Example =
id Element id. id:example
name name attribute. name:example
identifier Either id or name. identifier:example
class Element class. class:example
tag Tag name. tag:div
xpath XPath expression. xpath://div[@id="example"]
css CSS selector. css:div#example
judgment DOM expression. dom:document.images[5]
link Exact text a link has. link:The example
partial link Partial link text. partial link:he ex
sizzle Sizzle selector provided by jQuery. sizzle:div.example
jquery Same as the above. jquery:div.example
default Keyword specific default behavior. default:example

Spaces separating symbols are ignored, so ,  id : foo,  id: foo and  id:foo are equivalent.

E.g:

demo –
Click Element id:container
Click Element css:div#container h1
Click Element xpath: //div[@id=“container”]//h1

If the locator begins with "//" or "(//" it is treated as an Xpath locator. In other words, using  //div and  xpath://divare equivalent.

E.g:

demo –
Click Element //div[@id=“container”]
Click Element (//div)[2]

除了可以直接操作元素外，也可以通过 Get WebElement 关键字获取元素对象。

demo – –
${elem} = Get WebElement id=example
Click Element ${elem}
