Use XPath function in selector?

Post by qa-auto » Mon Aug 26, 2019 11:03 pm

Hi,

I want to find a date link that will be the current date.

Can something like this be done? If so, what's the correct syntax?
//a[@innertext=current-date()]

Thanks,
Lorinda

Hi,

There is no xpath function for actual date. You will have to use a repo variable and custom code, which will file the variable with actual date. Check these posts...
