What is SelectorsHub?
Xpath and CSSSelector building tool
Free Chrome extension

SelectorsHub is a time saver tool if you are trying to write your own xpath or css selector.
You don’t have to copy and paste the values from the DOM to build xpath. It gives you quick auto suggestions on text, attributes, siblings, parents, childNodes, ancestors and descendants. If you have written a wrong xpath, the tool will inform you about the errors and suggests you the way to correct.

SelectorsHub is a free tool no license in required. Right now it is available, very soon this extension will be available in firefox, edge, safari browsers also.

This tool is created by Sanjay kumar who has also created ChroPath which is a popular tool among automation engineers.

Just inspect the element if it will be inside iframe, SelectorsHub will show “in iframe” in the SelectorsHub tab.
To write the xpath/cssSelector for any element which is inside an iframe, just inspect that element and start typing.

Limitation of Iframe is, it will not support the iframe from different source. Iframe source must be of same origin

SVG elements doesn’t support the standard XPath pattern. So most of the times we struggle while writing the XPath for SVG elements. You just type // and it will suggest the correct syntax and you can build XPath without wasting anytime.
