Selenium Xpath Looping Example

Thanks to author for article Selenium IDE with an XPath Locator. I wanted to try the same example using TestNG code.

Followed the below steps
1. Created Sample Test Page link
2. Create a project and add required libraries. Verify earlier post

Below is the Example Code - Working Code

import static org.testng.Assert.assertTrue;

import java.util.Vector;

import org.testng.Assert;

import org.testng.annotations.*;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;

public class SeleniumXpath

{

     

public static Selenium selenium;

@BeforeTest

public void openBrowser()

{

      System.out.println("Before Test");

selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*iehta","http://sqlandsiva.blogspot.com/2011/01/test-xml-page-for-selenium.html);

}

@Test

public void LoopthruElement()

{

try

{

      System.out.println("Running Test1");

      selenium.start();

      selenium.open("http://sqlandsiva.blogspot.com/2011/01/test-xml-page-for-selenium.html");

      int i=1,j=1;

      while(selenium.isElementPresent("//table[@id='firstTable']//tr["+i+"]/td["+j+"]"))

{

      while(selenium.isElementPresent("//table[@id='firstTable']//tr["+i+"]/td["+j+"]"))

                       

{

            System.out.println("Value is " + selenium.getText("//table[@id='firstTable']//tr["+i+"]/td["+j+"]"));

            j++;

      }

      j=1;

      i++;

}

}

catch(Exception ex)

{

                  ex.toString();

}

}

}

This is tested and working code. Run it as TestNG Test. I intend to add more examples in the page and improve on this example.
