Let's review our understanding of Selenium first.

Webdriver:

WebDriver drives a browser natively, as a user would, either locally or on a remote machine using the Selenium server, marks a leap forward in terms of browser automation.

Selenium WebDriver refers to both the language bindings and the implementations of the individual browser control code. This is commonly referred to as just WebDriver and its not a class but an INTERFACE.

Selenium WebDriver is a W3C Recommendation

WebDriver is designed as a simple and more concise programming interface.
WebDriver is a compact object-oriented API.
It drives the browser effectively.
The latest release is Selenium 4.

What is relative Locators ?

Relative locators in Selenium 4 provide a set of new strategies to locate elements based on their proximity to other elements. These strategies include methods like above(), below(), toLeftOf(), toRightOf(), and more. They offer enhanced flexibility and accuracy in locating elements, making test automation more robust and efficient.

Here's a brief explanation with example code for each of the relative locators in Selenium 4:

above():

The above() method allows you to locate an element that is positioned above another specified element.

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("targetElement")); WebElement aboveElement = driver.findElement(RelativeLocator
.above(By.id("targetElement")));

below():

The below() method helps you locate an element that is positioned below a specified element.

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("targetElement")); WebElement belowElement = driver.findElement(RelativeLocator
.below(By.id("targetElement")));

toLeftOf():

The toLeftOf() method enables you to locate an element that is positioned to the left of another specified element.

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("targetElement")); WebElement leftElement = driver.findElement(RelativeLocator
.toLeftOf(By.id("targetElement")));

toRightOf():

The toRightOf() method lets you locate an element that is positioned to the right of another specified element.

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("targetElement")); WebElement rightElement = driver.findElement(RelativeLocator
.toRightOf(By.id("targetElement")));

near():

The near() method allows you to locate an element near another specified element using a proximity radius.

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("targetElement")); WebElement nearElement = driver.findElement(RelativeLocator
.near(By.id("targetElement")).with(By.tagName("button")));

withTagName():

The withTagName() method narrows down the search within the relative locator to elements with a specific tag name.

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("targetElement")); WebElement tagElement = driver.findElement(RelativeLocator
.above(By.id("targetElement")).withTagName("input"));

withText():

The withText() method allows you to locate an element with a specific text value within the relative locator's search scope.

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("targetElement")); WebElement textElement = driver.findElement(RelativeLocator
.toLeftOf(By.id("targetElement")).withText("Submit"));

below() with Offset:

You can use the below() method along with an offset value to locate an element below another element with a specific distance.

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("targetElement")); WebElement belowWithOffset = driver.findElement(RelativeLocator
.below(By.id("targetElement")).near(By.tagName("input"))
.withOffset(10, 20));

These relative locators enhance the precision of element identification in Selenium 4 by considering their proximity to other elements. They are particularly useful in cases where traditional locators might not be accurate enough.
