Can anyone please tell me, if there is any mistake with my xpath. I have made it dynamic, to accept values from the parameter passed.
Xpath used in my code as :
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfAllElementsLocatedBy(By.xpath("//div[#id='categories_block_left']/div[1]/ul[1]/li/a[contains(text(),'"+subCategory+"')]/Preceding-sibling::span[1]")));
Xpath I am getting on run time in the console after execution:
//div[#id='categories_block_left']/div[1]/ul[1]/li/a[contains(text(),'Tops')]/Preceding-sibling::span[1]
If I try to inspect above(runtime) by mentioning xpath in Firpath console, it is getting detected. But selenium is not able to detect this element.
Here is page URL:
http://automationpractice.com/index.php?id_category=3&controller=category
In the eclipse console I am getting error as :
Expected condition failed: waiting for presence of any elements located by By.xpath: //div[#id='categories_block_left']/div[1]/ul[1]/li/a[contains(text(),'Tops')]/Preceding-sibling::span[1]
SyntaxError: Failed to execute 'evaluate' on 'Document':

A bit of more information about your usecase interms of your code block would have helped us to analyze the error in a better way. However in majority of the cases, this error is observed in the following cases:
Incase the " marks are not escaped properly. As an example:
onclick="(canLaunch('" + v.LibraryItemId + " '))"
^ escape character is missing
Ideally, the line should be:
onclick=\"(canLaunch('" + v.LibraryItemId + " '))\"
Incase the function() passed are not closed properly. As an example:
$(document).ready(function(){
}
Ideally, the line should be:
$(document).ready(function(){
});
Below error is shown:
invalid selector: Unable to locate an element with the xpath expression //*[#id='center_column]'/div[1] because of the following error:
SyntaxError: Failed to execute 'evaluate' on 'Document': The string '//*[#id='center_column]'/div[1]' is not a valid XPath expression.
Code trial:
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='center_column]'/div[1]")).getCssValue("background-color")
As #Guy has pointed out you have a SyntaxError the XPath's id is a string within the locator hens the '' now your XPath should look something like:
By.xpath("//*[#id='center_column']/div[1]")
Not
By.xpath("//*[#id='center_column]'/div[1]")
I am using the following code for POM :
#FindBy(xpath="[#value='Send query']") private WebElement queryButton;
I am getting this error
org.openqa.selenium.InvalidSelectorException: invalid selector: Unable to locate an element with the xpath expression [#value='Send query'] because of the following error: SyntaxError: Failed to execute 'evaluate' on 'Document': The string '[#value='Send query']' is not a valid XPath expression.
The error "invalid selector" is pretty explanatory: [#value='Send query'] is not a valid XPath.
You probably meant //*[#value='Send query'].
I'm using Cucumber with Watir Web-driver and Chrome browser.
When I execute my tests, sometimes there is an error like this:
"Selenium::WebDriver::Error::InvalidSelectorError: invalid selector: Unable to locate an element with the xpath expression //a[contains(., 'Joao Moreira')] because of the following error:
TypeError: Failed to execute 'createNSResolver' on 'Document': parameter 1 is not of type 'Node'.
(Session info: chrome=43.0.2357.81)

I tried to get an answer trough Google but with no success.
Pretty sure this is this issue here: https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=8600
And it is fixed as of Selenium 2.46.0. I haven't seen the error since moving.
Add a line to handle the exception thrown. Seems like the error halts the test. This has nothing to do with the locator, or iframe.Try to wrap your method in rescue clause:
begin
{your method}
rescue
Selenium::WebDriver::Error::InvalidSelectorError
end
I'm getting Uncaught InvalidCharacterError: Failed to execute 'createElement' on 'Document': The tag name provided ('<iframe name="fb_xdm_frame_http"/>') is not a valid name. when I try to run Parse.FacebookUtils.init. Init code can be found at https://gist.github.com/ryansmith94/0ff03caf002fa2a8eb8b. Any ideas how I can resolve this problem?
Fixed this by changing Facebook's sdk.js code at line 46. https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/1466190186951391
