I'm trying to test form fields on a dynamic page. The fields might occasionally be in a different location, and the id will always be "input_" + some number. For example - input_0 = firstname, input_1 = lastname, etc.

Because of that, I created a loop that goes over all the inputs and checks the values, for example, if the text for this input_i is "First Name", then I will execute the firstname test on this iteration.

Now, I'm printing the text on each loop, and I can see the correct text by this function:

String inputText = inputTextElement.getText(); returns "First Name". System.out.println(inputText); is printing "First Name". So far so good.

But when I'm moving forward to the condition - if (inputText == "First Name"), the condition returns false.

I'm out of ideas for the cause here. Any suggestions?

I tried inputText.toString() as well, just in case. No luck here, either.

  • If it is about comparing `String`s, use `inputText.equals("First Name")` instead of comparing (more than just the value) by `==`. – deHaar Mar 22 '23 at 13:42

Never mind, I just realized I should've used .equals(). :)
