WebDriver PageFactory Find Elements List

I have multiple elements on a page and I would like to initialize them using PageFactory.

I have tried using following

@FindBy(xpath = "//*[contains(@class,'x-grid-tree-node-leaf')]")    
    List<WebElement> allElements;

but this returns only one element.

now, if I use the traditional way for finding elements

List<WebElement> allElements = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[contains(@class,'x-grid-tree-node-leaf')]"));

this returns 4 elements

any pointers what could be the issue?

Have you tried running your xpath in Chrome Developer tool or in Firebug?

List<WebElement> allElements = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[contains(@class,'x-grid-tree-node-leaf')]"));

should work.

Use FindAll annotation to get series of @FindBy tags and search for all elements that match any of the FindBy criteria.

@FindAll(@FindBy(how = How.XPATH, using = "//*[contains(@class,'x-grid-tree-node-leaf')]"))
List<WebElement> allElements;

Instead of using @FindBy annotation, use @FindAllBy annotation.Try this!

@FindAllBy(xpath = "//*[contains(@class,'x-grid-tree-node-leaf')]")    
List<WebElement> allElements;

Here's the link for FindAllBy java class.
