I'm trying to perform a click action on the "sign out" link on Gmail but my console keep saying that it's unable to locate the element. Below is my code.Thank you!
@FindBy(linkText="Sign out")
WebElement logoutLink;
This is the HTML:
And this is the WebElement:
If you observe closely the text Sign out is actually within a <div> which have an ancestor <span> which again have an ancestor <a>
So an effective locator strategy can be:
Using xpath:
@FindBy(xpath="//a//span//div[text()='Sign out']")
WebElement logoutLink;
You can use this XPath to locate that element:
"//a[contains(@href,'Logout')]"
Or this CSS Selector:
"a[href*='Logout']"
