Hi I am using selenium to automate test on web pages. I am using selenium 2 and python and would like to have answers in this framework only. SO how do I check whether some text is present or not? I have tried asset equals but it is not working?
assertEquals(driver.getPageSource().contains("email"), true);

New Selenium IDE To check the presence of an element, we can use the method – findElements. The method findElements returns a list of matching elements. Then, we have to use the method size to get the number of items in the list. If the size is 0, it means that this element is absent from the page.
text(): A built-in method in Selenium WebDriver that is used with XPath locator to locate an element based on its exact text value. contains(): Similar to the text() method, contains() is another built-in method used to locate an element based on partial text match.
