ElementsCollection in Selenide

Tutorial 11​​ –​​ Elements Collection concept​​ in​​ Selenide

What you will Learn in this blog:

• Usage of ElementsCollection class​​ 

• Usage of​​ SelenideElement

• CollectionCondition

• Code snippet

Usage of ElementsCollection class and SelenideElement

Launch​​ https://www.selenium-tutorial.com/courses​​ ​​ 

Inspect any course on this page

See below, the count of tags represented by tagname //a (viz links) is around 70

Let us automate this scenario. When we mouse hover $$ (represents findElements), notice that it returns​​ ‘ElementsCollection’​​ 

So​​ we can write

Execute, the count returns 70, see below

Usage of SelenideElement

Next, for each of the ‘Selenide webelement’, let us​​ 
a) print the text of element and​​ 
b) print the corresponding ‘href’ value

​​ 

Execute.​​ 

Notice below that the text of each element and corresponding ‘href’ link gets printed

CollectionCondition

We can use collection conditions​​ to directly assert something

Let us assert if the count size is greater than 65

Execute, assertion is pass

Let us change the integer to 605

Execute,​​ as expected, the assertion fails

So this is how we can use Elements Collections.

Code snippet

package​​ w2a.selenide;

import​​ static​​ com.codeborne.selenide.Selenide.*;

import​​ java.net.MalformedURLException;

import​​ org.openqa.selenium.By;

import​​ org.testng.annotations.Test;

import​​ com.codeborne.selenide.CollectionCondition;

import​​ com.codeborne.selenide.ElementsCollection;

import​​ com.codeborne.selenide.SelenideElement;

public​​ class​​ ElementsTest {

 @Test

 public​​ void​​ searchTest()​​ throws​​ InterruptedException, MalformedURLException {

  open("https://www.selenium-tutorial.com/courses");

  ElementsCollection​​ counts​​ =​​ $$(By.tagName("a"));

  System.out.println(counts.size());

  for(SelenideElement​​ c:​​ counts) {

   String​​ txt​​ =​​ c.getText();

   String​​ hrf​​ =​​ c.getAttribute("href");

   System.out.println(txt​​ +​​ "########"​​ +​​ hrf);

  }

  counts.shouldHave(CollectionCondition.sizeGreaterThan(605));

  Thread.sleep(5000);

 }

}
