Locator helps you to find a proper strategy to locate an element in webpage or application screen.

Direct access in form

Locator

Directly write value when you know it, or use selector tool to select element in webpage.

You can also toggle context to inherit, access advanced settings, or erase it.

Advanced locator

5 types of selectors are available :

🔹CSS: CSS3 selectors

🔹Xpath: Xpath selectors (including functions)

🔹jQuery: jQuery strategy. Don't forget to add a jQuery library in Advanced settings

🔹Coordinates: X and Y coordinates, relative to viewport. Scrolling is supported.

🔹javascript : you can write a function that returns directly a native element.

An Absolute locator does not rely to parents. It starts from root of current page/screen.

When using inherited context, your locator becomes relative to its parent.

When selecting tool targets several elements, but you want one in particular, specify which one.

Note

First element is index 0

When targeting several elements, you can choose to start from the end of the list or in a random way.
