[FIXED] How do I grab text from Selenium (Java)?

Issue

I am trying to grab the text $1.00 from the following HTML code (I have the xpath, so don't worry about that). For this purpose, we can say the xpath is //*[@id="price-string"]

<strong id="price-string">$1.00</strong>

I have tried using driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id="price-string"]")) followed by .gettext(), .getAttribute("textContent"), .getAttribute("innerHTML");

All of them return null, which means they could not find it.

I saw this post here on stackexchange: https://sqa.stackexchange.com/questions/30627/how-to-get-text-under-strong-tag-in-selenium-webdriver-using-java that might help. They say problem is, you cannot directly target/find text nodes with Selenium WebDriver, only regular element nodes. How would you be able to implement a fix in java? Thanks!

Solution

Try below code -

Thread.sleep(2000);
String word = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//strong[@id='price-string']")).getText();
System.out.println(word);
