Struggling with Selenium XPath? How Do You Write Reliable Locators? or What’s Your Go-To Method for D

Formal-ish answer: Prioritize uniqueness and readability.

Instead of `//div[3]/span[2]`, use combinations like `//*[@role='dialog']//button[@aria-label='Close']`.

Tools: XPath Helper (Chrome) lets you test locators in real-time.

And always—ALWAYS—wait for elements properly. Half my "broken" xpath was just impatience.
