I want to assert true/false based on the text under this XPATH is equal to a string.
//div[@class=’message au-board’]
so
//div[@class=’message au-board’]/text()
Here is the code I have
el = (By.XPATH, ".//div[@class='message au-board']/text()]")
assert el == "AppleOrangeGrape"
Printing el gives: (‘xpath’, ".//div[@class=’message au-board’]/text()")
In Dev Tools pasting ".//div[@class=’message au-board’]/text()" hilights the exact text I want to compare my string to: AppleOrangeGrape
>Solution :
el = (By.XPATH, ".//div[@class='message au-board']/text()]")
You forgot the function name find_element. Also there seems to be an extra ] in that xpath.
el = find_element(By.XPATH, ".//div[@class='message au-board']").text
