Selenium using xpath - How to get elements text using their sibling element text

I am stuck at one end, I am not able to get text value.

For better view :-

<div class="">
 <span class="address_city">Glenwood</span>
 <span class="address_state">GA</span>
 <span class="address_zip xh-highlight">30428</span>
</div>

I identify class address_zip... using following xpath :

//*[contains(text(),'30428')]

How can I get text value GA and Glenwood?

Try these below mentioned xpath

Get value of GA

//span[text()= '30428']/..//preceding-sibling::span[text()= 'GA')]

Explanation of xpath:- Use text method along with <span> tag and move ahead with another <span> tag using preceding-sibling keyword.

OR

//span[text()= 'Glenwood']/following-sibling::span[text()= 'GA']

Explanation of xpath:- Use text method along with <span> tag and move ahead with another <span> tag using following-sibling keyword.

OR

//span[text()= 'Glenwood']/..//following-sibling::span[text()= 'GA']

Explanation of xpath:- Use text method along with <span> tag and move ahead with another <span> tag using following-sibling keyword.

Get value of Glenwood

//span[text()= 'GA']/..//preceding-sibling::span[text()= 'Glenwood']

Explanation of xpath:- Use text method along with <span> tag and move ahead with another <span> tag using preceding-sibling keyword.

//[contains(text(),'30428')]/preceding-sibling::span[contains(@class,'address_city')] //[contains(text(),'30428')]/preceding-sibling::span[contains(@class,'address_state')]

It won't work , coz there is duplicate class name for same , Thats why I ask that is there any way to point from text() to upper two element.

You can use below xpath :-

  • To get Glenwood text :

    .//div[span[text() = '30428']]/span[@class = 'address_city']

  • To get GA text :

    .//div[span[text() = '30428']]/span[@class = 'address_state']

You can use preceding-sibling

//*[contains(text(),'30428')]/preceding-sibling::span[@class='address_city']
//*[contains(text(),'30428')]/preceding-sibling::span[@class='address_state']

You can also locate the zip code element and use it

WebElement zip = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(text(),'30428')]"));
String city = zip.findElement(By.xpath("//preceding-sibling::span[@class='address_city']")).getText();
String state = zip.findElement(By.xpath("//preceding-sibling::span[@class='address_state']")).getText();

Why do not you just use:

string city =Driver.FindElement(By.ClassName("address_city")).Text;
string state =Driver.FindElement(By.ClassName("address_state")).Text;

in case these classes are duplicated for other elements:

//first get the zip as you are doing now.
IWebElement zip=Driver.FindElement(By.Xpath("//*[contains(text(),'30428')]"));

//now get the father element.
IWebElement father=zip.FindElement(By.XPath(".."));

//now get all the spans
IList<IWebElement> allElements=father.FindElements(By.TagName("span"));

//reach the elements you want.
IWebElement city=allElements.ElementAt(0);
IWebElement state=allElements.ElementAt(1);
