Unable to find Element via XPath Selector for type text with no name or Id-CodePudding

Chrome Inspect

The Code in C#

IWebElement Search =
   driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[@placeholder='search' and
   @type='text']"));
       Actions actions_Search = new Actions(driver);
       actions_Search.MoveToElement(Search).Click().SendKeys("ABCDEFG").Perform();

CodePudding user response：

Please check in the dev tools (Google chrome) if we have unique entry in HTML DOM or not.

xpath that you should check :

//input[contains(@class,'searchbox') and @placeholder='search' @type='text']

Steps to check:

Press F12 in Chrome -> go to element section -> do a CTRL F -> then paste the xpath and see, if your desired element is getting highlighted with 1/1 matching node.

If we have unique entry 1/1 then you can use the following code :

IWebElement elem = driver.FindElement(By.Xpath("//input[contains(@class,'searchbox') and @placeholder='search' @type='text']")).SendKeys("ABCDEFG");

I am not certain why exactly you need an action class for this.
