Selenium Click on data-id C#

Question

I have this:

<a data-id="6948" class="klasax" href="show.aspx?xid=....;" title="Test">Test</a>

I trying to click based on data-id="6948"

My code:

 IWebElement cl = driver.FindElement(By.Id("6948");
 cl.Click();

Clearly problem is on data-id How I can click on it based on data-id ?

Answer 1

You could use a CSS selector, such as:

By.CssSelector("[data-id='6948']")

Answer 2

data-id is not id, you can't find it using By.Id selector. You can use CssSelector

driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("[data-id='6948']"));

Or ClassName

driver.FindElement(By.ClassName("klasax"));

Answer 3

You can use xpath:

driver.FindElement(By.xpath('//a[@data-id="6948"]'));
