Answer 1

To extract the string No more candidates awaiting Authorization you don't need a loop as such. As the element is an Angular element you need to induce WebDriverWait and you can use either of the following solutions:

• CssSelector:

  String myString = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector("div.ng-scope[data-ng-if*='newRequestReceived'] p.ng-scope[data-ng-if*='authRequestCount']"))).getAttribute("innerHTML");
  

• XPath:

  String myString = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//div[@class='ng-scope' and contains(@data-ng-if,'newRequestReceived')]//p[@class='ng-scope' and contains(@data-ng-if,'authRequestCount')]"))).getAttribute("innerHTML");
