How to get all descendants of an element using webdriver?

You can try the below code, instead of using XPath since it will be useful in dynamic variables also.

         String searchText = "your element's text";

        WebElement dropdown = driver("parent locator").findElement(By.tagName("ul"));

        List<WebElement> options = dropdown.findElements(By.tagName("li"));

        System.out.println(options);

        for (WebElement option : options)

        {

            if (option.getText().equals(searchText))

            {

                option.click(); // click the desired option

            }

        } 

Hope this helps!
