Can I use root-relative XPath expressions to get nodes in a cloned node?
If I were to argument in favor of the observed behavior I would cite the XPath specification: A / by itself selects the root node of the document containing the context node. But in DOM, a cloned node does not have a parent and is consequently not contained in...
Xpath for Find & Replace?
XPath cannot modify an XML file. For that you need XSLT or XQuery. If this really is a global change (that is, if you want to change this text regardless of the context where it appears) then I would be very inclined myself to do it using a text editor:...

No, it's not possible to reuse XpathResultMatchers without MockMvc and related classes.

The ancestor axis selects all the ancestors, i.e. parent, grandparent, etc of the current node whereas the ancestor-or-self selects all the ancestors, i.e. parent, grandparent, etc. of the current node and the current...
XSLT: Copy an attribute from one node to another
You can modify the identity transformation to copy over everything exactly except for the visualChildren/object elements, which can be copied over as-is plus the RefId attribute you request: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/> <xsl:template match="@*|node()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template...

Try: <xsl:template match="blabla"> <all> <xsl:for-each select="a"> <a n="{@n}"> <xsl:copy-of select="../b[@n >= current()/@n]"/> </a> </xsl:for-each> </all> </xsl:template> ...
XPath - How to get image source from xml
A CDATA section escapes its contents. In other words, CDATA prevents its contents from being parsed as markup when the rest of the document is parsed. So the <div>s in there are not seen as XML elements, only as flat text. The <description> element has no element children ... only...
Searching a list of similar elements for a given value
"... but I want to find a player with a given jersey number, and then pull its uID" Then the xpath parameter should look about like this : /Team[@uID='#{team_uid}']//Player[Stat[@Type='jersey_num' and .='#{jersey_num}']]/@uID or maybe without trailing /@uID to get Player element, and then do further extraction from ruby code. Notice...
Python Web Scraping title in a special div & Page 1 + 15
python,css,xpath,web-scraping,request
Here are the things I would fix/improve: the code is not properly indented, you need to move the HTML-parsing code into the loop body a url whisky.de/shop/Aktuell/1 for the page number 1 would not work, instead don't specify the page number: whisky.de/shop/Aktuell/ to get the prices and titles I would...
Error when building an XDocument
You can ignore pretty much all your code, the issue is just this: XDocument people = new XDocument("Persons"); You can't create an XDocument containing a string, you need to add an element: XDocument people = new XDocument( new XElement("Persons", original.XPathSelectElements(xpathFilterDups))); ...
How to get xml Nodes which are in lower case using XSLT 1.0
All you need is the identity template to copy existing nodes... <xsl:template match="@*|node()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> Then another template to ignore nodes that aren't lower-case. In XSLT 1.0 this can be done by using the translate statement, to translate uppercase letters to lowercase, and checking if the result...
XSL transformation outputting multiple times and other confusion
1) Your template is applied to 3 elements, and for each of them, loops over all the parents li elements (yes, for each of them, ask all the li elements, children of the grand-father of the current content, which are all the 3 li elements, each time). 2) Because that's...
Selenium Webdriver: how to use xpath filter?
Your xpath is wrong. As I see you try to get the content from the second row/first column (if you doesn't count the headers). Try the following code on http://www.toolsqa.com/automation-practice-table/ page: /html/body/div[2]/div[3]/div[2]/div/div/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[1] or //*[@id='content']/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[1] If you run getText() it will return the following value: Saudi Arabia...
How to remove the line breaks in front of a tag in Xpath
On the Python side, you could use str.strip() to remove whitespace from both sides of the string: In [290]: data = ['\n\t\t\tCC=O'] In [291]: data[0].strip() Out[291]: 'CC=O' or, on the XPath side, you could use normalize-space: In [299]: tree.xpath('normalize-space(//*[text()="Smiles"]/..//br[1]/preceding-sibling::text())') Out[299]: 'CC=O' Note that in addition to removing both leading and...
Seach by class in Nokogiri nodeset
Assuming that the class name is stored into class_name, I think that doc.xpath("//*[contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' #{class_name} ')]") is what you're looking for. This will match all the elements that contain class_name into their classes, ie if class_name is 'box', then it will match both elements like div...
XSLT insert sibling if it doesn't exist - Not being rerunnable for some reason
Your template matches a sec:authentication-provider element: match="bi:realm/sec:authentication-provider[...]" So, within the template, the context node is the matched sec:authentication-provider element. Therefore, when you perform your test, you need to proceed from that context. Your current test test="not(bi:realm/sec:authentication-provider[@xsi:type='ext:session-authenticatorType'])" would only work if the context node were the parent of bi:realm, namely bi:security-configuration....
How to Pass Dynamic Values in Xpath

You can use following XPath which will work if Id is dynamic. //webDriver.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[contains(@id,"ChassisId')]/a/ins[contains(text(),'POWER CONNECT')]") ...
XSD unique element XPath limitations
By wrapping the <deliveryMethod> elements in a (for example) <deliveryMethodsList> element you can move the unique element so you only have to write it once. As an example you only need to replace your Mailpack complexType with the following: <xs:complexType name="Mailpack"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="deliveryMethodsList"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="deliveryMethod" type="DeliveryMethod"/>...
XPath does not work with XMLReader and SimpleXML? [duplicate]

Your while, seems, not executed even once.
