How to find xpath of an element in firefox inspector

Question

In Firefox 50.1, Firebug is no longer available so I have to use the inspector but I cannot find copy ---> xpath option that was available in Firebug. How can I find the xpa

Answer 1

Unfortunately this doesn't work properly. When I use the copy xpath, I got this instead of the usual one: //*[@id="gwt-uid-105"] Which is just useless :(

There aren't any extension currently which could solve this. Looks like the only way is to run an old version of FF. Can have an old 32 bit and a new 64 bit version.

Answer 2

In Firefox you can use the web developer tools console for xpath validation like this:

1.Open Web Developer tools.

2.Click on Console

3.Type $x("path")

This should let you validate that your path is valid.

Answer 3

You can use the console to check if the xpath you want return the correct element or not. $x("//div/xpath") https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Settings
