How to recover the second text in a validation with Assertequals

Question

I have that code:

And I’m trying to retrieve the text "Test Automation".

then I made the following code.

WebElement idMenu = navegador.findElement(By.id("dropdown-menu-profile"));
String valortesteAutomacao = idMenu.getText();
assertEquals("Teste_Automacao", valortesteAutomacao);

but only appears to me:

I tried for Xphat, but it does not return....

How to do?

Answer 1

Your search is incorrect, by capturing by the id dropdown-menu-profile you are taking the entire text from the div. To only get the paragraph text you would need to be more specific, taking the child elements from the div or using xpath. Example of xpath:

//div[@id='dropdown-menu-profile']//p

Answer 2

managed to make:

The following is, in case, I had to navigate between all the Parents, to get to what I wanted. So I used 3 types of By (id, classname, tagname). I just didn’t know about the tagname, which was what was missing before. So I didn’t have to use xPhat.

WebElement testeAutomacao = navegador.findElement(By.id("dropdown-menu-profile"));
WebElement idMenu = testeAutomacao.findElement(By.className("user-data"));
String valortesteAutomacao = idMenu.findElement(By.tagName("p")).getText();
assertEquals("Teste_Automacao", valortesteAutomacao);
idMenu.click();
