Modify selector - click button not by name

Hi Experts,

Please, help solve the problem.

 

The standard selector looks like this and it works. Triggered by button name “Edit”

Default SelectorDefault Selector

My button can be in different languages and I want to click on the button not by name "Edit", but in some other way.

 

Its button code in the browser

<button data-l10n-id="about-config-pref-edit-button" class="button-edit semi-transparent" title="Edit"></button>

 

Code full table with button “Edit”

<table id="prefs" has-visible-prefs="">
 <tr class="has-user-value ">
 <th scope="row">
 <span>general.<wbr>test</span></th>
 <td class="cell-value">
 <span data-l10n-args="{&quot;value&quot;:&quot;test&quot;}" data-l10n-id="about-config-pref-accessible-value-custom" aria-label="test (custom)">
 <span aria-hidden="true">test</span></span></td>
 <td class="cell-edit">
 <button data-l10n-id="about-config-pref-edit-button" class="button-edit semi-transparent" title="Edit"></button></td>
 <td class="cell-reset">
 <button data-l10n-id="about-config-pref-delete-button" class="button-delete ghost-button semi-transparent" title="Delete"></button></td></tr></table>

 

I tried to substitute parameters in the selector element "Button ‘Edit’". Did not help.

Class - button-edit semi-transparent

ID - about-config-pref-delete-button

 

Perhaps there is a solution for this problem?

    Hi @Hadzin 

     

    I think the atttribute seems to be unqiue one for each button [edit, delete etc]

     

    Could u try with the css selector below 

     

      button[data-l10n-id="about-config-pref-edit-button"]

     

     

    Let me know if it worked or not

    Hi @Hadzin 

     

    The way u have wrote selector is wrong

     

    Only write the selector which I have mentioned don't include other parts

    I understand correctly that the selector needs to be edited in a text editor?

    For automating websites, you should try browser automation actions not UI Automation actions. UI Automation actions are used for desktop automations
