4 Error detection and control

Error control is one of the most important feature which makes SelectorHub better than others.
This powerful tool enables you to learn to write your own xpath and selector and enables you to learn doing it in a smart way.
It not only tells you that an error occurred but also determines what is the error and how you can correct it to make your code error free.
Error detection and control is one of the most important steps in the testing and automation industry.
Let’s have a visual imagery of how SelectorsHub helps us in performing the above functionality.

5 Shadow DOM

Just inspect the element if it will be inside shadowDOM, it will show “in ShadowDOM” in the SelectorsHub tab.
To write the cssSelector for any element which is inside shadowDOM, just inspect that element and start typing.
To verify any cssSelector inside a shadowDOM, first inspect any element inside that shadowDOM in which you want to verify your cssSelector
Note: shadowDOM supports only cssSelectors and it doesn’t support xpath.

8 SVG

As we all know that SVG elements don’t support the standard XPath pattern. So most of the time we struggle while writing the XPath for SVG elements. But now SelectorsHub has solved this problem. You just type // and it will suggest the correct syntax and you can build XPath without wasting any time.

Web scraping is data scraping used for extracting data from websites. The web scraping software may directly access the World Wide Web using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol or a web browser. While web scraping can be done manually by a software user, the term typically refers to automated processes implemented using a bot or web crawler. It is a form of copying in which specific data is gathered and copied from the web, typically into a central local database or spreadsheet, for later retrieval or analysis.

SelectorsHub also provides the above functionality.
