I am looking for something like this for auto click by xpath

Question

getElementByXpath("//html[1]/body[1]/div[1]").click();

I am looking for something like this for auto click by xpath but is not working

Please give us some context and explanation around: __Which `div` or button element__ inside your HTML do you want to click via JavaScript? Have you access to the .JS file (are you experienced in Javascript) or do you just want the browser to do some automatic magic? — hc_dev, Nov 28 '19 at 19:53

You can use document.evaluate to find element by Xpath. After that, you can call click() to click on it. Here's an example:

function getElementByXpath(path) {
  return document.evaluate(path, document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue;
}

getElementByXpath('//button[@id="IDBodyPanelapp"]').click();

<button id="IDBodyPanelapp" onclick="alert('Button clicked!')">test</button>
