Find the child of the next silbling in selenium java using xpath

I am trying to send keys to a text field called Last Name.

     
      
Last Name
      
*
      
    
    
          
  
  

I am able to find the Last Name by using getText feature. What is the cleanest way to get the text field which is the child of the sibling of Last Name ? We use Vaadin to generate the HTML.

You can use a full css selector with Selenium to find whathever you want =)

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("table tbody tr"));

Try below xpath:-

//div[@class='v-captiontext' and //div[contains(@class,'v-captiontext')] and contains(.,'Last Name')]  

Hope it will help you :)

You can use axes of xpath

//div[text()='Last Name']/following-sibling::div/input  

but I recommend you to use this:

//div[./div[text()='Last Name']]//input

It is not entirely clear what you are expecting as the result. You say:

What is the cleanest way to get the text field which is the child of the sibling of Last Name ?

But it seems that you are not trying to find a sibling of the div element that contains "Last Name", but a sibling of its parent. I also assume that by "text field" you mean an input element. Please try

//div[div = 'Last Name']/following-sibling::div[1]/input  

which will return

Answer by Ashish for Find the child of the next silbling in selenium java using xpath

with whatever I can see, I came up with following.

//div[@class='v-captiontext']

I used the //tagname[@attribute='value'] syntax to come up with Xpath.
