I m trying to have xpath find a div and verify that the div has a specific string of text inside Here s the HTML lt div class Caption gt Model saved lt div gt and lt div id alertLabel class gwt-HTML sfnStandardLeftMargin sfnStandardRightMargin sfnStandardTopMargin gt Save to server successful lt div gt This is the code I m using at the moment viewerHelper getWebDriver findElement By xpath div contains class Caption and text Model saved viewerHelper getWebDriver findElement By xpath div id alertLabel and text Save to server successful Specifically div contains class Caption and text Model saved div id alertLabel and text Save to server successful

Selenium and xpath: finding a div with a class/id and verifying text inside

To verify this:-

<div class="Caption">
  Model saved
</div>

Write this -

//div[contains(@class, 'Caption') and text()='Model saved']

And to verify this:-

<div id="alertLabel" class="gwt-HTML sfnStandardLeftMargin sfnStandardRightMargin sfnStandardTopMargin">
  Save to server successful
</div>

Write this -

//div[@id='alertLabel' and text()='Save to server successful']
