Find xpath that doesn't have specific child

garecanbp

How can I select objects, that don't have a specified child? For example, I need to find objects, that don't have resource-id "btn-add-remove", in example below is container[2].

MobileObject[@resource-id='container']

MobileObject[@resource-id='cardView']

MobileObject[@resource-id='btn-add-remove']

MobileObject[@resource-id='tv_menu_title']

MobileObject[@resource-id='container'][2]

MobileObject[@resource-id='cardView']

MobileObject[@resource-id='btn-add-remove']

MobileObject[@resource-id='tv_menu_title']

The Xpath that I have tried are

- MobileObject[@resource-id='cardView or @resource-id='tv_menu_title' and not @resource-id!='btn-add-remove']/ancestor::MobileObject[@resource-id='container']

- MobileObject[@resource-id='container']//MobileObject[@resource-id='cardView or @resource-id='tv_menu_title' and not @resource-id!='btn-add-remove']

both resulted in container1

    If you need to find all the objects, you should be able execute a "findAll" with either of the following locators:

    //MobileObject[@resource-id='container']//MobileObject[@resource-id!='btn-add-remove']

    //MobileObject[@resource-id='container']//MobileObject[not(@resource-id='btn-add-remove')]

    Silk Test should return all objects that match the above locators regardless of indexing. The best way to test this is with the locator spy and validating the locator, which should tell you how many objects match the specified locator.
