I have the following HTML code on which I am trying to run my selenium test
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<table id="Original">
<tr>
<td>Original-11</td>
<td>Original-12</td>
<td>Original-13</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Original-21</td>
<td>Original-22</td>
<td>Original-23</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Original-31</td>
<td>Original-32</td>
<td>Original-33</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br/><br/>
<table id="Duplicate">
<tr>
<td>Duplicate-11</td>
<td>Duplicate-12</td>
<td>Duplicate-13</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Duplicate-21</td>
<td>Duplicate-22</td>
<td>Duplicate-23</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Duplicate-31</td>
<td>Duplicate-32</td>
<td>Duplicate-33</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>The selenium java code looks like this:
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/src/test/drivers/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver drv = new ChromeDriver();
drv.get("C:/Users/MYUserName/git/er_test/SeleniumTestHtml.html");
WebElement tableElement = drv.findElement(By.id("Duplicate"));
WebElement rowElement = tableElement.findElement(By.xpath("//tr[2]"));
WebElement cellElement = rowElement.findElement(By.xpath("//td[2]"));
System.out.println(rowElement.getText());
System.out.println(cellElement.getText());
drv.close();
drv.quit();
}
I am expecting a result as follows :
Duplicate-21 Duplicate-22 Duplicate-23
Duplicate-22
But I am getting this result :
Original-21 Original-22 Original-23
Original-12
Am I doing something wrong here ?

Your problem is that // makes you go back to search from top root element.
Which means
WebElement rowElement = tableElement.findElement(By.xpath("//tr[2]"));
Is as good as
WebElement rowElement = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//tr[2]"));
If you need to search only inside the current element then you should use
WebElement rowElement = tableElement.findElement(By.xpath(".//tr[2]"));
