Chrome 84 Inspect element, find results not highlighted in yellow like before

Question

As per usual when making automated tests I use "Inspect"(CTRL+SHIFT+I) in Chrome to find element by xpath, id, CSS selector etc. For example:

//li/a         


        

Answer 1

I have also faced a similar issue where first matched xpath is not visible in chrome ( mac os mojave).

As a workaround, I am using the chrome console for exactly locating the xpath element.

Steps :

1. Open developer tools
2. Click on Console tab
3. type command as : $x("xpath") and press enter.

Find the below image link for reference.
