if exist(..) is not executing as intended.

[evanpeng-life]

code: `https://www.lowes.com timeout 15

logged = exist('//*[@id="account-name" and not(contains(text(), "Sign In"))]') echo logged

if exist('//*[@id="account-name" and not(contains(text(), "Sign In"))]') echo Signin else echo Signout

if logged echo Signin else echo Signout`

printed log: https://www.lowes.com - Lowe’s Home Improvement

true Signout Signin

https://www.lowes.com/ - Lowe’s Home Improvement FINISH - automation finished - 21.4s

Please tell me where I am wrong, thanks!

Hi @EvanYiLi you can try the following

https://www.lowes.com/
read //*[@id="account-name"]/text() to status
if (status!="Sign In")
	echo Signin
else
	echo Signout

Thank you for your answer. Why are the results of these two pieces of code different?

logged = exist('//*[@id="account-name" and not(contains(text(), "Sign In"))]') //is true

if exist('//*[@id="account-name" and not(contains(text(), "Sign In"))]') // is false
