I need to build a xpath that returns Meu elemento only if Dependencia is present on the screen.
I'm currently filtering Meu elemento using the following snippet:
//div[contains(text(), 'Meu elemento')]
...
<div>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<a>Dependencia</a>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<div>
<div>Meu elemento</div>
</div>I was able to solve my problem with the following xpath:
//*[contains(text(), 'Meu elemento')][//*[contains(text(), 'Dependencia')]]
According to the XML structure you included above, the XPath below selects the contents of div within another div that is immediately preceded by a div containing a table that has a containing cell a a with the exact content 'Dependency':
//div/div[preceding::div/table//a[text() = 'Dependencia']]
This works for the substructure you included above. If it does not work you should include more details of your HTML / XML (omitted tags, namespaces, etc.)
