Select by single class element that has multiple classes

joshuacronemeyer

I'm working with Sahi through the Twist testing IDE, so I'm using the Java driver. I've been surprised that if I try to select an element with multiple classes on it by a single class that it doesn't select anything. Here is an example of what I mean.

HTML snippet:

<div class="one two">Text</div>

Java snippet:

boolean try1 = browser.byClassName("one").exists();
boolean try2 = browser.div("one").exists();
boolean thingThatWorks = browser.div("one two").exists();

In the above situation the try1 and try2 variables are false but the thingThatWorks is true. Am I missing something? Is there a way to select an element by a single class name when it has multiple? The workaround I have found is to use the XPath selector and use xpath something like //div[contains(*at*class, "one")] but I'd rather not use xpath.

ps. the *at* is supposed to be an at symbol but the forum software wouldn't let me use that symbol because it thinks i am trying to post an email address.

Hi,

Use

browser.div("/one/").exists(); // a js regex match

for matching using only one of the css classNames.
