Question

How can I check if a selenium web element contains a specific css class.

I have this html li element

Answer 1

The answer provided by @drkthng works but you might have a case where the class name is a subset of another class name. For example:

text

If you wanted to find the class "item" then the provided answer would give a false positive. You might want to try something like this:

public boolean hasClass(WebElement element, String htmlClass) {
    String classes = element.getAttribute("class").split("\\s+");
    if (classes != null) {
        for (String classAttr: classes) {
            if (classAttr.equals(htmlClass)) {
                return true;
            }
        }
    }
    return false;
}
