Hello and welcome to Day 15 - What Is The Difference Between Absolute XPath And Relative XPath In Selenium
I'm encouraging you to come along this journey with me, learn to use an automation test tool It does not have to be selenium webdriver it could be UFT, Katalon Studio or any of the others of which there are many
Xpath is the path navigated or traverse along the HTML code from any chosen point to the desired HTML code for that web element or object
Relative Xpath you don't have to traverse from root node which is your HTML tag all the way down to your desired HTML code for that element
Select any point between the HTML root node and HTML for the desired web element and form and Xpath
With Relative Xpath it starts with a '//' double back slash meaning selection at any point along the entire HTML code
Absolute Xpath you have to traverse from root node which is your HTML tag all the way down to your desired HTML code for that element
With Absolute Xpath it starts with a '/' single back slash meaning selection at the base or root node of HTML code which is your HTML tag
There is a draw back in using absolute xpath because the xpath spans the entire HTML code body if the developers should
change any code this absolute xpath will break and not work
Please stick to customizing your own xpath, make it a habit or use the web browser to obtain or copy an xpath for desired
element
