Question

Is it possible to check if a text is highlighted on the page using Selenium?

Answer 1

Hey Karan, you can use following code snippet to check whether a text is highlighted on a page using Selenium:

String color = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[text()='Shop']")).getCssValue("color");

String backcolor = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[text()='Shop']")).getCssValue("background-color");

System.out.println(color);

System.out.println(backcolor);

if(!color.equals(backcolor)){

System.out.println("Text is highlighted!")

}

else{

System.out.println("Text is not highlighted!")
}

Here if both color and back color different then that means that element is in different color.
