Below are examples of NoSuchElementException message text generated for the following operation:

IWebElement bodyElement = Driver.Get(By.XPath(".//body"));
bodyElement.Get(By.XPath(".//a")); // Throws NoSuchElementException.

Old Message

Unable to locate element: By.XPath: .//a
Context element:
Tag: body
Location: {X=0,Y=0}
Size: {Width=1920, Height=217}
Text: ...some text...

- By.XPath: .//a
- Search time: 5.031s
- Search options: {Visibility=Visible, Timeout=5s, RetryInterval=0.5s, IsSafely=False}

Context element:
- Tag: body

- Size: {Width=1920, Height=217}
- Element ID: 0.2859257636091761-1

New XPathString Class

XPathString class added with ConvertTo method for string normalization for XPath.

XPathString.ConvertTo static method converts a string value to XPath valid string wrapping the value with ' or " characters. For string containing both ' and " characters applies XPath concat function.

Examples

  • "a\"b\"c" => "'a\"b\"c'"
  • "a'b'c" => "\"a'b'c\""
  • "a'b\"c" => "concat('a',\"'\",'b\"c')"
