How to get the text from label/paragraph in Selenium Java

asked 2 years ago

To get the visible text from a label, paragraph, or any other element in Selenium Java, use the getText() method. This method retrieves the inner text of the element, which can then be used for validation or printing.

Navigate to https://www.qafeast.com/demo,click the Label menu.

Press F12 on the keyboard and inspect the Label.

getText_selenium Java

Syntax:

driver.findElement(By.locator).getText();


Example:

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.testng.Assert;

public class TextValidationExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

        driver.get("https://www.qafeast.com/demo"); // Example URL

        // Locate the label or paragraph element
        WebElement label = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//h3[text()='Test automation']"));

        // Get the text from the element
        String actualText = label.getText();

        // Validate the text
        String expectedText = "Test automation";
        Assert.assertEquals(actualText, expectedText, "Text does not match!");

        driver.quit();
    }
}
