Selenium IDE: Get row count in table

Question

How do I get the row count of a given table using the Selenium IDE?

When I right click on my table, I can only assert/verify the following:

• Title
• Value
• Text
• Table
• Element Present

with the target being

//div[@id='reports']/div[n]` where `n` is the number of rows.

Answer 1

You want to use the storeXpathCount command. This takes two parameters which can be stored within the IDE Target and Value fields where the following parameters are, respectively:

• xpath: the xpath expression to evaluate
• variableName

Here is an example where the table id = reports:

Command: storeXpathCount
Target: //div[@id='reports']/div[n]/table/tbody/tr
Value: myVarCount

where n in div[n] from above is your div number.

Hint: Right click on your table with Selenium IDE open to quickly get the path!
