Can somebody please help me on the following?

I want to click on a button who has the text "Resume Scanning". In the below script. Instead of the hard coding (Resume Scanning), how can I pass the value from property file?

driver.findElement(by.xpath("//button[contains(.,'Resume Scanning')]"));

Thanks, Kannan C

try as follows:

String label = "Resume Scanning";
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(.,'" + label + "')]"));

Or using String.format:

String string = String.format("//button[contains(.,'%s')]", label);
driver.findElement(By.xpath(string));

You can use following java code to read from properties file

FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream("location of properties file");
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.load(in);
String buttonText=prop.getProperty(propertyName);
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//button[contains(text(),'"+buttonText+"')]"));

You can use a property file to read the text value. Here is an example:

inputParams.properties
----------------------
buttonLabel=Resume Scanning

Use the below sample code to read data from the property file:

FileReader reader=new FileReader("inputParams.properties");  
Properties p=new Properties();  
p.load(reader);  
System.out.println(p.getProperty("buttonLabel"));

Hope it helps.

By.xpath("//button[contains(.,'Add Strategy')]")

By.xpath("//button[contains(.,'Submit')]")

    It may be helpful to provide some additional details, that explain what this code is doing, and how exactly this addresses the OP's question. – JonathanDavidArndt Aug 31 '18 at 11:42
