Tried to find xPath of an element in the latest Chrome (v99). It looks like the right-click menu in Chrome's "inspect" pane is not available. How does one find the xPath of elements for Selenium automation?

1Copy-pasting XPaths out of your browser is a really excellent way to write flaky tests... – jonrsharpe Apr 05 '22 at 16:19

Well you should write your own xpath, however you'd still need inspect feature so that you can write XPath more effectively/robust. – cruisepandey Apr 05 '22 at 17:41

Chrome's Inspect menu item is still available after the right-click.
However, google-chrome latest version is Version 100.x which you need to upgrade to.
Having said that, some websites may disable the right-click for security or some other reasons. In those cases you have use the google-chrome-devtools to identify the desired elements.
You can find a relevant detailed discussion in How to inspect element for Selenium v3.6 as FireBug is not an option any more for FF 56?
