What is the best approach to locate a specific grid element to input data using Selenium and C#?

I've experimented with 'Inspect Element', Firebug, FirePath, Selenium IDE, Katalon Recorder to locate an element. However, the Css/xPath I use in my code doesn't seem to work for automating the addition of a new row scenario. In this particular case, the initial element in the grid is a dropdown, and upon selecting a value from it, a second dropdown is populated. The Css/xPath for the first element while examining the required value is:

Css: 

body > div.k-animation-container > div > div.k-list-scroller > ul > li:nth-child(35)

xPath: 

.//*[@id='ng-app']/body/div[4]/div/ul/li[35]

Check out the sample html code here, where I need to choose a value from the drop-down.

How can I resolve this issue so that the code consistently selects the value from the drop-down?

Answer №1

To target the element with the text "AEP Public Service of Oklahoma", you can use this XPath example:

.//div[@id='ng-app']/body/div[4]/div/ul/li[contains(.,'AEP Public Service of Oklahoma')]
