We can locate child nodes of web elements with Selenium webdriver. First of all we need to identify the parent element with help of any of the locators like id, class, name, xpath or css. Then we have to identify the children with the findElements(By. xpath()) method.
XPath(Current node): //input[@id = 'text']. We will then find the XPath of the parent element node of the current node using parent syntax, as shown below screenshot. XPath of the Parent node: //input[@id = 'text']//parent::span. It will then select the parent node of the input tag having Id = 'text'.
The key is to use the xpath .//* to get all the children for current node. The . picks the current element & //* selects all the elements, which makes the whole xpath to select all child elements of current element. Your code will look like this:
parent_elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="app"]/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[1]')
child_elements = parent_elem.find_elements_by_xpath('.//*')
