Question

I know I can find element by id:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='some_id']"));

And I can find all elements with this id, but I want to find all elements with an id attribute. I’m looking for something like:

driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[@id]"));
// or
driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[@id='*']"));
// or
driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[contains(@id)]"));

I’m using Java. Thanks!

UPD: The only solution for me is to get all elements by "//*", go through them and get their id attributes. Is there a way to get all attributes at once, something like "//*@A" from Java?

Answer 1

Attribute A of element where A contains ‘t’

//E[contains(@A,'t')]/@A 

or

//E[contains(@A,'t')]@A 

Attribute A of any element

//*/@A 

or //*@A

so I use java too. So if you need to find all elements with id attribute you can simply use

driver.findElements(By.xpath(//*@id))

Hope this helps you.
