print the all tag values using selenium webdriver

Question

public class URL {

    WebDriver driver;
    @Test
    public void test_URL() throws InterruptedException{

        driver = new FirefoxDriver();

        //driver.manage().window().maximize();
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

        driver.get("https://www.proptiger.com/city-image-sitemap.xml");

        List<WebElement> links = driver.findElements(By.tagName("loc"));
        System.out.println(links.size());

        for(int i=0; i<links.size();i++){
            //Thread.sleep(200);
            System.out.println(i+ "."+links.get(i).getText());
        }
    }
}

Suddenly It is stop execution. It is not given all tag values. I want all links in this page.

Selenium does not handle XML. It only handles HTML. There are various plugins for xml parsing that might help you.

You can handle XML by Selenium using a different approach. Try this xpath : //*[name()='loc'] for finding all the tag values

Try this code:

    System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "src/geckodriver");
    WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

        driver.get("https://www.proptiger.com/city-image-sitemap.xml");

        List<WebElement> links = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[name()='loc']"));
        System.out.println(links.size());

        for(int i=0; i<links.size();i++){
            //Thread.sleep(200);
            System.out.println(i+ "."+links.get(i).getText());
        }

This won't work. You will not be able to get values from tagName loc. Please Try. – Ankur Jun 12 '17 at 10:49
I just tried and I am able to get the text of the tag name – Monika Jun 12 '17 at 10:59
System.out.println(i+ "."+links.get(i).getText()); // I am only getting value of i + "." – Ankur Jun 12 '17 at 11:18
I request you to please try the exact code given by me. I have executed the code on my machine. – Monika Jun 12 '17 at 11:39
You have to fetch links by using the xpath: List links = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[name()='loc']")); – Monika Jun 12 '17 at 11:43

Try this code it worked for me perfectly

   driver.get("url");

    List<WebElement> links = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[contains(@class,'text') and contains(text(),'https')]"));
    System.out.println(links.size());

    for(int i=0; i<links.size();i++){
        //Thread.sleep(200);
        System.out.println(i+ "."+links.get(i).getText());
    }
