IntelliJ IDEA get element text

I'm new in IntelliJ IDEA, before I was using Katalon Studio, but now I use IntelliJ IDEA. I can't get an elements text. I've tried a lot of things, but still can't get an text of an element. I am writing in groovy language, This is what I'm trying to do:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", PATH + "\\chromedriver.exe")
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions()

options.setExperimentalOption("useAutomationExtension", false)

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options)
def url = "https://www.google.com"
driver.get(url)

List<WebElements> element = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[@id="tsf"]/div[2]/div[1]/div[3]/center/input[1]"))

println(element)
println(element.text)

element.text does not work, also I've tried element.getText() but that class was not found: This is my imported classes:

import org.openqa.selenium.By
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement as WebElements
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions

P.S: Also, I'm unable to use methods like element.click(), element.getAttribute(), etc

Solution

  • Problem was solved, when I tried to print element by index, as my element is a list web element.

    element.get(0).getText()
