I have a "clear all" button which is an anchor. The HTML structure is like this:
<div class="form-row toggle-closed" id="ProductFilters" style="display: block;">
<div class="form-row__filter">
<ul class="form-row__filter__bg-display">
<li class="filter__group__item__small">
<a id="ProductFiltersFilterText" class="f-right" data-select-all="ProductFilters" href="#">clear all</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
Then in the Selenium test I'm trying to find the a tag using this:
SeleniumHelper.ExpandFilterSection(_webDriver, "#ProductFilters");
var clearAllButton = _webDriver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("div.form-row__filter>ul>li>#ProductFiltersFilterText"));
clearAllButton.Click();
THen I started debugging, in the automated Chrome window I could see that by executing ExpandFilterSection, the filter was expanded, the "clear all" button was exposed, then a bug said:
OpenQA.Selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: 'element not visible'
How ever in the Autos I see:
It seems that the "clear all" button is found, why does it say "element not visible"? Functionality of the button is trigger by JavaScript though.
To click() on the element with text as clear all you have to induce WebDriverWait for the desired ElementToBeClickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
linkText:
SeleniumHelper.ExpandFilterSection(_webDriver, "#ProductFilters");
new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20)).Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementToBeClickable(By.LinkText("clear all"))).Click();
cssSelector:
SeleniumHelper.ExpandFilterSection(_webDriver, "#ProductFilters");
new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20)).Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementToBeClickable(By.CssSelector("div#ProductFilters>div.form-row__filter>ul.form-row__filter__bg-display>li.filter__group__item__small>a#ProductFiltersFilterText"))).Click();
xpath:
SeleniumHelper.ExpandFilterSection(_webDriver, "#ProductFilters");
new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20)).Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementToBeClickable(By.XPath("//div[#id='ProductFilters']/div[#class='form-row__filter']/ul[#class='form-row__filter__bg-display']/li[#class='filter__group__item__small']/a[#id='ProductFiltersFilterText']"))).Click();

I'm having this strange error (sometimes works sometimes does not):
no such element: Unable to locate element:
{"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[#id="card-id-oidc-i"]/a"}
My button has this:
<a href="/auth/realms/Global-Realm/broker/id-oidc-i/login?client_id=web&tab_id=Doz54nelUC0&session_code=gwAePmGfpQ2hBLommJO7Rswc1gNkB90Ctc4">
<div style="width:100%;height: 40px;">
<span class="arrow arrow-bar is-right"></span>
</div>
<div class="image" style="background-repeat: no-repeat;margin:auto; width:115px;height:120px"></div>
<div style="margin-top: 10px;min-width:170px">
<h4 style="text-align:center;"><b>log in</b></h4>
</div>
</a>
It's XPATH is:
//*[#id="card-id-oidc-i"]/a
I did this:
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id=\"card-id-oidc-i\"]/a")).click();
It is strange because sometimes works just fine but sometimes it fails.
Why?
You probably missing a delay.
Try using this:
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//*[#id='card-id-oidc-i']/a"))).click();
BTW your locator is based on some parent element with id = card-id-oidc-i while you shared here only the child a element HTML.
Also, no need to put \ before " inside a String. You can simply use ' instead as I do here.
NoSuchElementException error may occur when :
HTML element may not be present in a DOM yet. So you have to implement WebDriverWait to wait until element is present and visible in a web page.
HTML element may not be inside frame or iframe.
Maybe in your case it is not in the DOM yet, try to wait until it is visible and on clickable position.
I've been trying to navigate through a webpage and testing the different links using Robot and Selenium.
I need to click several Dropdown menus. In Google chrome it works fine, but when I use Firefox there will always be one dropdown menu (not always the same one) that will appear selected (Like when a mouse passes over a button), but it will not get clicked.
The code I've been using:
Wait Until Element Is Visible //*[#id="Modules"]/a timeout=20s
Click Element //*[#id="Modules"]/a
Wait Until Element Is Visible xpath: //*[contains(text(), "Tasklist")] timeout=20s
Click Element xpath: //*[contains(text(), "Tasklist")]
This is the element HTML code:
<li id="Modules" class="nav-item nav-item-levels mega-menu-full show">
<a href="#" class="navbar-nav-link dropdown-toggle" data- toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="true">
<i class="fa fa-lg fa-modx"></i>
<span class="menu-item-name" style="color: inherit; display: none;">Modules</span></a>
And this is the screen I'm trying to click on (In my test case, the "modules" dropdown menu appears selected, but the menu doesn't drop down)
Screenshot
So far I've tried increasing selenium_speed and adding a sleep command before clicking, but nothing seems to work.
Anyone knows what the problem with Firefox could be?
This is my sample html code.
<div class="content">
<M class="mclass">
<section id="sideA">
<div id="mainContent">
<div class="requestClass">
<span>Check</span>
<input type="text" id="box">
</div>
</div>
<section>
<section id="sideB">
...
<section>
</M>
</div>
I want to set some value to my text field ("box"). So I tired to set like below code
driver.findElement(By.xpath("...")).sendKeys("SetValue");
My Xpath id is correct, it's exist in the page but am getting this error
no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"id("..."}
Why I am getting this error because of my custom tag,if yes how to get element inside custom tag?
As per the HTML you have provided to fill in some value to the text field represented by <input type="text" id="box"> you can use either of the following line of code:
cssSelector :
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("section#sideA input#box")).sendKeys("SetValue");
xpath :
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//section[#id='sideA']//input[#id='box']")).sendKeys("SetValue");
If you still want to use XPath. This worked for me-
driver.FindElement(By.XPath(#"//*[#id='box']")).SendKeys("AB");
I don't think the custom tag causes any problem as the CssSelector also works-
driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector(#"m[class='mclass'] input")).SendKeys("AB");
You can use ID or xpath to locate it, My suggestion you have to use ID. Also use Explicit wait till element to be visible.
Using ID, your code is like this:
WebElement elem= driver.findElement(By.id("box"));
WebDriverWait wait=new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(elem));
elem.sendKeys("test");
You can also use JavascriptExecutor
WebElement elem= driver.findElement(By.id("box"));
WebDriverWait wait=new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(elem));
JavascriptExecutor myExecutor = ((JavascriptExecutor) driver);
myExecutor.executeScript("arguments[0].value='test';", elem);
HTML code:
<div id="routingPanel" class="">
<div id="routingPanelRight">
<ul id="routingList" class="ui-sortable">
<li class="ui-menu-item ui-draggable" style="display: list-item;" role="presentation" data-type="srl" data-id="15">
<a class="ui-corner-all" tabindex="-1">AS-HTTS-US-LAN-SW</a>
<span class="fa fa-trash"/>
<span class="type">[srl]</span>
</li>
<li class="ui-menu-item ui-draggable" style="display: list-item;" role="presentation" data-type="queue" data-id="119">
<a class="ui-corner-all" tabindex="-1">AS-EMEA-NORTH</a>
<span class="fa fa-trash"/>
<span class="type">[queue]</span>
</li></ul></div></div>
I need to click on a button which is having the span class"fa fa-trash" but it is inside li class. And i have list on buttons on the page with li class changing.
I am giving testdata from excel file so i can't use the direct value.
i tried to use this xpath
.//*[#id='routingList']/li[5]/span[1] //testdata1
.//*[#id='routingList']/li[2]/span[1] //testdata2
where li value changes everytime from excel file.
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 15);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated((By.xpath("//ul[#id='routingList']/li/span[1]")))).click();
List<WebElement> options = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//ul[#id='routingList']/li/span[1]"));
for (WebElement option : options) {
if(testData.equals(option.getText()))
option.click();
Tried above code but it is deleting only one from the list ,where i have passed two more testdata that needs to be deleted.
Need suggestions Please
According to the information you gave me in comments, I think the problem is that you are trying to get a text from an element that doesn't contain text.
Let's say your testData is AS-HTTS-US-LAN-SW. In the HTML you provided and the xpath you mentioned, you are selecting an autoclosing tag <span class="fa fa-trash"/>. Once this tag is selected, you are trying to get the text inside of it, and there is none.
<ul id="routingList" class="ui-sortable">
<li class="ui-menu-item ui-draggable" style="display: list-item;" role="presentation" data-type="srl" data-id="15">
===========================
<a class="ui-corner-all" tabindex="-1">AS-HTTS-US-LAN-SW</a> ----> The text is contained here
<span class="fa fa-trash"/> ---> No text in that tag
===========================
<span class="type">[srl]</span>
</li>
</ul>
So, basically, you have to modify a little bit your xpath from : //ul[#id='routingList']/li/span[1] to : //ul[#id='routingList']/li/a to get the text, and then go back to the parent node to find your button with : ../span[contains(#class, 'fa fa-trash')]
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 15);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated((By.xpath("//ul[#id='routingList']/li/span[1]")))) // removed the click here because you were clicking on the first element of the list
List<WebElement> options = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//ul[#id='routingList']/li/a"));
for (WebElement option : options) {
if(testData.equals(option.getText()))
option.findElement(By.xpath("../span[contains(#class, 'fa fa-trash')]")).click();
Tell me if it helped
I know you already accepted an answer but there's a more efficient way to do this. You can specify the text you are looking for as part of the XPath. So, you do a single search instead of looping through all the options which can be a performance hit if there are many options. Also, with something like this you are likely to use it more than once so put it in a function.
In this case, the function would take in the string you are looking for and then click the appropriate element.
public void selectRegion(String regionName)
{
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[.='" + regionName + "']/following-sibling::span[#class='fa fa-trash']")).click();
}
and you would call it like
selectRegion(testData);
The function looks for an A tag that contains the desired text and then clicks the sibling SPAN with class fa fa-trash.
I would like to click on a "New Contact" button for my selenium script. I have tried:
driver.findElement(By.id("btn-group.contact_list-menu-contact_add")).click();
And by xpath as well, but it is not working. How could I get this working?
<div class="btn-group left">
<a id="contact_list-menu-contact_add" class="Button btn-contactadd primary SaveItem" href="javascript:">New Contact</a>
</div>
You are searching by an incorrect id value, use contact_list-menu-contact_add instead:
driver.findElement(By.id("contact_list-menu-contact_add")).click();
Or, by a CSS selector:
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".btn-group .btn-contactadd")).click();
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".btn-group #contact_list-menu-contact_add")).click();
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#contact_list-menu-contact_add")).click();
Or, by a link text:
driver.findElement(By.linkText("New Contact")).click();
If the target element is inside an iframe, you would need to switch into the context of the frame before searching for the element. Assuming that your frame has contactURL id, this is how to switch to it:
driver.switchTo().frame("contactURL");
If you are getting NoSuchElementException as you have mentioned in the comment, There are may be two reason :-
May be when you are going to find element, it would not be present on the DOM, So you should implement WebDriverWait to wait until element visible and clickable as below :-
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
WebElement el = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("contact_list-menu-contact_add")));
el.click();
May be this element is inside any frame or iframe. If it is, you need to switch that frame or iframe before finding the element as below :-
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt("contactURL"));
WebElement el = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("contact_list-menu-contact_add")));
el.click();
Edited :- As I see from your provided HTML this button is inside <div id="btn-new-group" class="btn-group-actions left" style="display: none;"> which is set to be invisible, that's why you are not able to find button. You should make it visible first then try to find as below :-
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt("contactURL"));
WebElement invisibleDiv = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.id("btn-new-group")));
//Now make it visible first
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].style.display = 'block';", invisibleDiv);
//Now find contact button
WebElement el = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("contact_list-menu-contact_add")));
el.click();
Hope it helps...:)
