Selenium is a powerful tool for automating web browsers, but how do I get the page title from a web page when using Selenium? I am looking for a way to quickly get the page title using Selenium, so that I can use it for testing purposes.

Selenium is a great tool for interacting with web pages and you can use it to get the page title. Here are the steps you need to follow:

Create an instance of WebDriver: Before you can use Selenium to get the page title, you need to create an instance of the WebDriver. This is done using the driver.get() method.
Locate the title element: Once you have an instance of the WebDriver, you need to locate the title element of the webpage. This can be done either using the find_element_by_tag or find_element_by_xpath methods, depending on the versions of Selenium you are using.
Get the page title: Finally, you can use the get_attribute() method of WebDriver to get the page title. This will return the text of the title element.

Here is an example of how to get the page title in Selenium (with Python):

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://example.com")

title_element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/head/title")
page_title = title_element.get_attribute("text")
print(page_title)

The page title in Selenium can be retrieved in several ways. Here are some of the methods that you can try:

Use the getTitle() method: This is one of the most straightforward methods to get the page title in Selenium. This method returns the page title of the currently loaded page. The syntax for this method is:

String pageTitle = driver.getTitle();

Use the getCurrentUrl() method: This method can be used to get the page title from the URL. This is a useful method to get the page title of the webpage you are currently on. The syntax for this method is:

String pageTitle = driver.getCurrentUrl().split("/")[-1];

Use JavaScript's document.title: This method can be used to get the page title using JavaScript's document.title Property. The syntax for this method is:

String pageTitle = (String) ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("return document.title");
