xPath how to access input text file with generic name
Is there any option to access input in code like this:
(...)
<div class="dialogProp">
<div class="gwt-Label">Name</div>
<div class="floatLeft">
<div>
<input type="text" class="textBox">
</div>
<div class="notVisible"></div>
</div>
<div class="dialogProp">
<div class="gwt-Label">Surname</div>
<div class="floatLeft">
<div>
<input type="text" class="textBox">
</div>
<div class="notVisible"></div>
</div>
(...)
As you can see I got two inputs and only difference between them is label inside of div with different text inside. This kind of pattern can be found all around of website and I cannot change this. I can not add id's as well.
Do you know if there is possibility to add to the xPath this different text inside of div's?
Let's say I would like to access first input.
Of course I could use some ass long xPath, but I would like to reuse this with text inside of gwt-Label as variable.

To access the input with respect to the label text you can use the following solution:
labelText = "Name"
#or labelText = "Surname"
xpath = "//div[@class='gwt-Label' and contains(.,'" +labelText+ "')]//following::div[1]//input"

Use below to locate input by label text:
//div[@class="gwt-Label" and .="Name"]/following-sibling::div//input
In Python you can pass label from variable:
label = "Name"
xpath = '//div[@class="gwt-Label" and .="%s"]/following-sibling::div//input' % label
