How to check if my xpath is valid using firebug?

Yes, you can verify if your xpath is pointing to the right source on the web application under test using FireBug. Here is how: 


  1. Go to the Web Application under test
    2. We'll take Google for simplicity reasons

  2. Open FireBug - Go to the Console 
  3. Console can also be seen at the bottom of the page, so don't worry they both are the same. They can be switched as follows: 



  4. Type in $x("Your xpath here") on the command line prompt as shown below:


  1. Hit Enter/Run
  2. You will get to see the element which was filtered out with your XPath expression

I would assume that we use more than the eyes to gauge a person's feelings. Mouth. Body language. Even voice. You could at least have given us a face in this test.

wget error–“zsh: parse error near &”

There is no doubt that I prefer wget way over any other type of downloads… Syntax: wget <DOWNLOAD_URL>   If you get this error “ zsh: parse error near & ” then its probably because your download URL has a “&” so you should try giving your DOWNLOAD_URL in double quotes wget “<DOWNLOAD_URL>”   If you are trying to download from a site which needs you to give your credentials then you can try giving it this way wget --http-user=<UserName> --http-password=<Password> “<DOWNLOAD_URL>”   Hope this helps
