SelectorsHub: The best xpath chrome extension.

SelectorsHub helps to write and verify the XPath and cssSelector.

SelectorsHub is the complete new way to write and verify the XPath and cssSelectors.

SelectorsHub auto suggests all attributes, text and everything along with their occurrences to complete Selectors quickly. Now you need not to copy and paste attribute values from DOM anymore to build XPath and cssSelector. It also supports shadowDOM, iframe and SVG elements. It gives the proper error message like what is wrong in your xpath and cssSelector.


SelectorsHub is invented and created by me.

Why to use SelectorsHub while there are so many other good XPath tools & selectors tools?


Biggest reason is, SelectorsHub helps to improve XPath and cssSelector writing skills.


Not one reason, there are many reasons which makes SelectorsHub the unique and best xpath tool.


  1. SelectorsHub is the only tool which made it possible to write own selectors in less than 5sec with its auto suggest feature without compromising learning skills.

  2. SelectorsHub is the only tool which supports #shadowDOM, in fact even Chrome DevTools doesn’t support shadowDOM.

  3. SelectorsHub is the only tool which gives the proper error message for the missing elements in your selectors.

  4. It helps you to improve your xpath and cssSelectors writing skills.

  5. It has iframe support.

  6. It supports svg elements.

  7. It supports dark theme.



ShadowDOM Support

It was never possible to verify and write the cssSelectors for shadowDOM elements but this amazing innovation made it possible.













Proper error message for missing elements in selectors


Earlier there was nothing which can tell us what’s wrong in our selector. We were never able to understand what’s wrong in our selector until we are not expert in it. Devtools suggests 0 matching node for wrong selector pattern. But now we have the Selector’s guide which helps us with the correct error message and what is wrong or missing in our selector.




Iframe support


It supports iframes as well. It will let you know if the inspected element is inside an iframe or not. Now we can easily write and verify selectors for elements inside an iframe without wasting any time.






SVG element support


Many of us are not aware that svg elements don't support the standard xpath format. SVG elements support different xpath patterns. SelectorsHub has made it easy and let you know the correct format and helps you to learn how to write selectors for svg elements.

SelectorsHub: Smart Intellij for xpaths & cssSelectors!!

 It is always recommended and preferred to write our own xpath and cssSelector. And to write the selectors,

From the day one when the web was introduced we are copying the attribute values from DOM and wasting a huge amount of time and making errors as well.

A lot of xpath tools have been created which used to auto generate the xpath but they were never upto mark and we were losing the xpath writing skill. We always have to edit that generated xpath or write our own xpath and in all this process we were wasting a lot of effort and time.

Today we are still writing xpath in Devtools. It is like we are still writing code in notepad while there are editors like Intellij, eclipse etc.

But not anymore here is my new invention SelectorsHub the smart Intellij for selectors.

SelectorsHub smartly auto suggests all the possible combinations of attributes, text, siblings etc to build selectors within seconds.

Try it now it’s absolutely FREE.

Why “ChroPath is disabled” & asking for browser history permission?

Why “ChroPath is disabled” & asking for browser history?

You might notice a popup “ChroPath is disabled” in your browser.
Don’t worry just accept the permission or remote it and install again.
Let me make it very clear here that we are not tracking any user data. Everything runs in your local for this extension. It is the most safe plugin. Whatever stats or number of users we get is from the Chrome Store.
We haven’t asked for browsing history permission and we don’t need it. If you notice when you install fresh then it won’t ask for this permission. For existing users only it is showing when it is updating from CP 5.0 to 6.0. In extension there is a permission “activeTabs” if we use that then it won’t show this permission popup. Now Chrome suggested not to use that permission so we have removed that permission because it is not required so it is showing that popup. For more details you can check here at Chrome website.
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/activeTab
Nothing has changed from AutonomIQ ChroPath side.
  1. In ChroPath 6.0, we have added a feature which saves ChroPath settings like driver command and attribute choice in local which saves your time from setting them again and again.
  2. For ChroPath Studio, notification display when it capture the actions and generate the manual test cases so for that it is required.
Thank you Ivan Tay for letting me know about this popup, it will help whole community to understand the reason for it.
If you have any query or doubt, please feel free to reach out to me anytime. Thank you.

How to use Smart Maintenance feature?
Just paste complete script and it will verify all your XPath:
  1. First go to that web page for which you want to verify all the XPaths.

  3. There are two ways to verify all XPaths in your script-
i) Just paste the complete script:
a) Click on edit icon (present in smart maintenance header),
b) Pass the same command which is used in script on XPath and just replace the xpath by xpathValue keyword. If there is no command then turn off the command option. For ex- driver.findElement(By.xpath(“//input”)) then pass the command as driver.findElement(By.xpath(“xpathValue”))
c) Paste the complete script in the given box and click on OK.
d) It will show all the XPaths with their occurrences in the page.
e) You can copy all the XPaths by clicking on CopyAll icon given in header or export them by clicking on export icon.
