How can get only the window elements and exclude the OpenQA.Selenium.Appium.AppiumWebElement elements from a list ?

I’m facing a problem when I want to retrieve some elements form inside a parent element

var buttonsElements = driver.Current.FindElementByClassName("FullPrintPrescriptionsView").FindElementsByClassName("Button"); I expect to return only 4 buttons , but 48 OpenQA.Selenium.Appium.AppiumWebElement buttons are retrieved

I want to retrieve only the buttons elements

@zahraazezo I think FindElementsByClassName("Button"); finds elements in whole page. It is not finding element inside FindElementByClassName("FullPrintPrescriptionsView").

To confirm this behaviour, you may try to find elements by driver.Current.FindElementsByXPath("//*[@ClassName='Button']"). It is also expected to return 48 elements.

I am using xpaths only in my project, and I don’t feel any slowness as compared to other selectors. I am using winappdriver 1.2-RC.

@zahraazezo Can you expand all tree? I’m not sure, but your FullPrintPrescriptionsView has some ‘custom’ childs and FindElementByClassName returns all buttons that were found in the tree, not only for the first level… And by using xpath you are saying on which level you have to find them. Looks like you have more buttons deeper
