I can get the value and all other related tag attributes, but not text. I tried to get the text by executing a java script through selenium, which also returns null , or is empty could someone help me? The text is visible - not hidden.

Answer 1

You can try using getAttribute ("textContent") or getAttribute ("value")

public Collection getTextValuesFromSearch (WebElement searchContext) {

  final Collection<String> collectedText = new ArrayList<>(); final Collection<WebElement> webElementsWithText = searchContext.findElements(By. css/xpath("yourElement")); for (final WebElement webElement : webElementsWithText) { collectedText.add(webElement.getText()); } return collectedText; }
