Showing differernt xpaths in Different Browsers.

Post by kumarchowg » Mon May 07, 2012 11:26 am

Hi,

when i am trying to automate a scenario in different browsers, i have noticed that different browsers are showing different xpaths for the same object. even few properties are not showing

In FireFox the Xpath is "/dom[@domain='www.ef.se' and @caption='EF Språkkurser Utomlands' and @page='' and @path='/ils/' and @browsername='Mozilla']/body/form/div[3]/div[3]/div[1]/div[@id='omnidiv-footer-actions']/div/ul/li[3]/a[@href='/ils/infomeetings/']"

In Chrome for same object is "/dom[@domain='www.ef.se' and @caption='EF Språkkurser Utomlands' and @page='' and @path='/ils/' and @browsername='Chrome']/body/form/div[3]/div[3]/div[1]/div[@id='omnidiv-footer-actions']/div/ul/li[3]/a[@href~'^http://www\.ef\.se/ils/info']"

even properties like "MaxLenght" is showing in Firefox, but not in Chrome.

is there a way where we can get same x path and property values so that no need of creating different script for each browser.

Thanks
Kumar

Hi,

Please send us two Ranorex Snapshot files of the specific object, one from each browser?
Following link will show you how to generate a snapshot file.
There is also a useful blog about cross browser testing.
