Finding Element's xpath address

Question

I'm trying to get an attribute of the small arrow next to 'Date' that is shown in the pic:

I used Katalon recorder to find the element's xpath address, and it gave me the following xpath:

"//div[5]/sort-direction/iron-icon[2]"

But this xpath is not enough, because I need the "d" attribute which is inside the 'path' tag (as you can see in the pic).

I tried to modify the xpath like this :

"//div[5]/sort-direction/iron-icon[2]/svg/g/path"

But then I got an NoSuchElementException exception.

Any ideas of how to get this attribute?

Are there any other `svg` or `g` elements inside `iron-icon[2]`? — GalAbra, Jan 21 '18 at 13:30
Xpath looks fine from 'sort-direction', Verify the div[5] once — Pradeep hebbar, Jan 21 '18 at 13:39

@DebanjanB [SOLVED] Thank you very much!!....Apparently there are several tags that you need to use /*[name()='tag_name'] syntax and svg/g/path are included in those tags so the right xpath is: "//div[5]/sort-direction/iron-icon[2]/*[name()='svg']/*[name()='g']/*[name()='path'] — רועי וינרב roi weinreb, Jan 26 '18 at 08:44

Please check the count of iron-icon. From picture given, it seems the "d" attribute you are trying to fetch is under the hierarchy of iron-icon at index 1 not 2.

Please try the xpath as :

"//div[5]/sort-direction/iron-icon[1]/svg/g/path"

Remove svg, and change iron-icon[2] to iron-icon[1], which is svg. You don't need them both.
