Selenium C# label text click

Question

i have this element:

<label _ngcontent-c12="" tabindex="0" class="">
    <input _ngcontent-c12="" type="radio" class="ng-untouched ng-valid ng-dirty">
    <span _ngcontent-c12=""></span> TEST
  </label>

and how I can click on it using selenium C#? I try:

driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//label[text()='TEST']")).Click();

but it doesn't work

your TEST text has space before it or it's a typo? Try label[contains(.,'TEXT')] or label[normalize-space(.)='TEXT'] — Somber, Sep 19 '19 at 12:02

It helps! But:OpenQA.Selenium.ElementClickInterceptedException : element click intercepted: Element ... is not clickable at point (974, 547). Other element would receive the click:

The desired element is an Angular element so you have to induce WebDriverWait for the desired ElementToBeClickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies as solutions:

XPath 1:

new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20)).Until(ExpectedConditions.InvisibilityOfElementLocated(By.XPath("//div[@class='wrapper']")));
new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20)).Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementToBeClickable(By.XPath("//label[contains(., 'TEST')]//input"))).Click();

XPath 2:

new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20)).Until(ExpectedConditions.InvisibilityOfElementLocated(By.XPath("//div[@class='wrapper']")));
new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20)).Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementToBeClickable(By.XPath("//label[normalize-space()='TEST']//input"))).Click();

Error CS0246 The type or namespace name 'WebDriverWait' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) how can fix this? – Adrian Gielata Sep 19 '19 at 12:59

@AdrianGielata: Add a `using` directive at the top of your C# file. That is just basic C# and Visual Studio stuff. – Greg Burghardt Sep 19 '19 at 13:00

Maybe, its because of missing space before 'TEST'. You may try something like driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//label[contains(text(),'TEST')]")).Click(); or driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//label[contains(.,'TEST')]")).Click();.

Also, reason maybe in absence of WebDriverWait

I think you can do more simple:

driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//label[contains(.,'TEST')]")).Click();

While this code snippet may be the solution, [including an explanation](//meta.stackexchange.com/questions/114762/explaining-entirely-‌code-based-answers) really helps to improve the quality of your post.

Here I am trying to find particular text that is required to be clicked.

    IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();  
    var label = driver.FindElements(by.TagName("span")).FirstOrDefault(ele=>ele.Text.Equals("TEST"));
    label.Click();

if above solution didn't work, But in Most cases inside Span tag , text are Displayed == false Then we need to use Actions Class.

Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.MoveToElement(label).Click().Perform();

Selenium C# label text click
