Hello all, I'm thinking how to query this element:

<span>
GMT(+00:00)
Universal
</span>

.//span[text()[2],'Universal'] ?

Hi, @U0YJJPFRA thanks for reaching out with a question. I created a fiddle directory to experiment. In this directory I put searchtext.html:

<html>

<body>
A sample from Slack:

<span>
GMT(+00:00)
Universal
</span>

</body>
</html>

WebDriver XPath is kinda limited, but let's explore something that might work for you instead. The setup:

(require '[etaoin.api :as e]
         '[babashka.fs :as fs])

;; open a sessions
(def driver (e/chrome))
;; navigate to your test page
(e/go driver (->> "fiddle/searchtext.html" fs/absolutize (str "file://")))

And now let's try using contains:

(e/get-element-text driver ".//span[contains(text(),'Universal')]")
;; => "GMT(+00:00) Universal"

And the cleanup:

(e/quit driver)

Using contains might not be as specific as you would have liked, but might be sufficient for your use case?

@UE21H2HHD it's failing if you have something before like this options Etc/GMT and GMT. I had to read the parent element to get it work, not directly to that element. The code was something like this:

(defn select-element-from-options [option]
  (->>
    (eapi/query-tree *driver* {:data-ci "timezone-id-autocomplete-input"} {:tag :ul} {:tag :li} {:tag :a})
    (filter #(= option (eapi/get-element-text-el *driver* %)))
    first
    (eapi/click-el *driver*)))

@U0YJJPFRA do you still need help or are you all good now?
