I have two bodycells div in my page and I want the count the nested div inside the second one. Required output :- I want the count=2

Tried Approach :-

int rowCount = driver.FindElements(By.XPath("//div[@class='bodyCells[2]']//div").Count());
Console.WriteLine(rowCount);

int rowCount = driver.FindElements(By.XPath("//input[@id='bodyCells'])[2]/div/div").Count()); Console.WriteLine(rowCount); Is this will work — jatin patware, Aug 06 '18 at 12:25
You can use a CSS selector like, `div[title$='-123']`, which will find `DIV`s that have a title that ends with "-123". That's less brittle than your approach in case other elements get added to the list and the index changes. See [CSS selector reference](https://www.w3.org/TR/selectors/#overview). — JeffC, Aug 06 '18 at 13:41

As per the HTML you have provided to count the nested child <divs> inside the second (parent) <div> you can use either of the following solution:

CssSelector:

List<string> elements = driver.FindElements(By.CssSelector("div.bodyCells div.pivotTableCellWrap[title*='-']"));
Console.WriteLine(elements.Count);

XPath:

List<string> elements = driver.FindElements(By.XPath("//div[@class='bodyCells']//div[@class='pivotTableCellWrap' and contains(@title,'-')]"));
Console.WriteLine(elements.Count);

int rowCount = driver.FindElements(By.CssSelector("div.bodyCells div.pivotTableCellWrap[title*='-']")).Count; Console.WriteLine(rowCount); is working properly syntactically but logically not giving correct output – jatin patware Aug 06 '18 at 14:28

you can use the below modified XPath inorder to get the count of second nested div

XPath: //div[@class='bodyCells']/div/div[2]/div

Code:

var rowCount = _driver.FindElements(By.XPath("//div[@class='bodyCells']/div/div[2]/div")).Count;
Console.WriteLine(rowCount);
