Webelement.Click() - Getting exception on Webelement.Click() though it clicks the Element - selenium

Meta
OS: Windows
Selenium Version: 2.53.1.0
IDE: Visual Studio 2013
Browser: Internet Explorer 11 version 11.420
I am getting an exception when i tried to click an element on webpage. This happens when a link is clicked and it opens a dialog. Webelement.click() function clicks the element and the modal dialog is opened but Click() takes time to return and finally logs exception as 'The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL "" timed out after 60 seconds.'
Expected Behavior:
It should click the "Firefox Beta" download button and "IE tool bar" with RUN and SAVE option will appear
Actual Behavior:
It clicks the "Firefox Beta" download button and "IE tool bar" is coming. But downloadElement.Click() waits for 60 seconds and throws exception.
Steps to reproduce:
Below is code snippet:
string url = "https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/#beta";
try{
IWebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl(url);
Thread.Sleep(5000);
IWebElement downloadElement = driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//div[#id='download-button-desktop-beta']/ul/li/a/strong"));
Thread.Sleep(5000);
downloadElement.Click();
}catch{
//catch block
}

Try giving this xpath instead of that.
IWebElement downloadElement = driver.FindElement(By.XPath("/html/body/div[2]/div/main/section[1]/div/div/ul/li[1]/a/strong"));
Sometimes their is some problems with IE11 selenium is not able to work as expected. so i use double click instead of click in certain scenarios.
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[2]/div/main/section[1]/div/div/ul/li[1]/a/strong"))).doubleClick().perform();
try using both, hope it will helps

You can add implicit wait after downloadElement.Click() and wait for modal dialog to load completely.

Try this. It worked for me -
package sbps;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;
public class cvs_signup
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
String url = "https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/#beta";
try{
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
driver.get(url);
Thread.sleep(5000);
WebElement downloadElement = driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//a[#href='https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-beta-stub&os=win&lang=en-US'])[last()]"));
Thread.sleep(5000);
downloadElement.click();
}catch(Exception e){
//catch block
}
}
}

Web page stuck with loading bar while executing the automation script using Selenium?

I'm executing the automation script, in which I am facing loading bar for infinite time on the specific web page.
I have confirmed that issue is not from script side because earlier same scripts are executing fine.
I have applied the solutions as below.
Executing the script in other browsers
Increase wait time
Updated Chrome browser/chromedriver.exe
Currently I'm using below tools/version
Chrome Version: 89.0.4389.82
Chrome driver[Version:ChromeDriver89.0.4389.23]
Java [version: 11]
Selenium WebDriver
Can anyone please provide me the solutions?
Thanks in advance
Try changing the page load strategy to "eager":
This will make Selenium WebDriver to wait until the initial HTML document has been completely loaded and parsed, and discards loading of stylesheets, images and subframes.
When set to eager, Selenium WebDriver waits until DOMContentLoaded event fire is returned.
Example usage:
import org.openqa.selenium.PageLoadStrategy;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class pageLoadStrategy {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.setPageLoadStrategy(PageLoadStrategy.EAGER);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
try {
// Navigate to Url
driver.get("https://google.com");
} finally {
driver.quit();
}
}
}

Link Click using selenium webdriver is giving timeout error, link is working fine on browser otherwise

I'm trying to write a piece of code using Testng in selenium, the problem is when i try to click a link, the code becomes unresponsive and gives error- Timed out receiving message from renderer
Tried driver.get("https://infostore.saiglobal.com/") instead of driver.findElement(By.linkText("Infostore")).click(); still remains unresponsive - Doesnot get directed to the webpage - https://infostore.saiglobal.com/
#Test
public void testSai() throws Exception {
driver.get("https://www.saiglobal.com/"); //open homepage
driver.findElement(By.id("CybotCookiebotDialogBodyButtonAccept")).click(); //accept cookie
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#sai-header > div > div.main-nav > div.store-box > div")).click(); //click on Login to open list
sleep(2);
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Infostore")).click(); //click on infostore to be redirected to https://infostore.saiglobal.com/
System.out.println(driver.getCurrentUrl());
Yes I have checked this issue and there is an workaround for this issue if you wish to have this.Try following code.
Take the href attribute value from the link element.
Delete all cookies.
driver.navigate().to(URL);
public static void main(String[] args){
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", System.getProperty("user.dir") + File.separator + "\\Executables\\Chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 5);
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
driver.get("https://www.saiglobal.com/");
driver.findElement(By.id("CybotCookiebotDialogBodyButtonAccept")).click();
WebElement element=wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//div[#class='desktop-login']")));
actions.moveToElement(element).build().perform();
WebElement element1=wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//div[#class='desktop-login']/ul/li/a[contains(text(),'Infostore')]")));
String str1=element1.getAttribute("href");
driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
driver.navigate().to(str1);
System.out.println(driver.getCurrentUrl());
}
This seems to be an error with Selenium that the developers have been dealing with for over a year. They never really give a concrete answer as to what causes it or how to fix it.
The first port of call would be to make sure that your browser and Selenium are compatible. Try opening a different URL that you know works, and if the error persists then there is likely an error with the compatibility of your selenium and web browser. If it works, then there is something wrong with your website.
For reference, I opened your website using Python Selenium, and had no issues loading or interacting with elements. So the error is local to the software you are using.
The issue can also be caused by sleeps(no idea why), so try removing any sleeps and see if this stops the issue.

Internet Explorer is not closing via selenium script with every solution

I am Not able to close the Internet Explorer via selenium script, I tried every Solution to Kill the IEDriver task and Iexplorer.exe.
I also Tried solution: Internet Explorer 11 does not close after Selenium Test 2 but it still not working for me.
I am Using below,
Selenium 3.4,
IE: 11.1358.14393.0,
InternetExplorerServerDriver: 3.4.0
Below is my code.
import java.io.IOException;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
public class Tc03_IEDriver_First_use {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
//Set IEDriver Properties
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "D:\\Rohit Bhatkar\\Selenium Jars\\IEDriverServer_x64_3.4.0\\IEDriverServer.exe");
//Set desired Capabilities of IE. these statements removes an zoomsetting error.
//You Can set Zoom mannually as, Go To View Menu on IE > Click On Zoom > Select 100%
DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
caps.setCapability("ignoreZoomSetting", true);
//Create IEDriver obj, Open Browser, Open URL, Close the Browser
WebDriver obj1= new InternetExplorerDriver(caps);
obj1.manage().window().maximize();
obj1.get("https://www.google.com");
obj1.quit(); //IE not Closing. Steel need to do some work to close the browser
}
}
I would try to first obj1.close() to close the browser window. Then I would use obj1.quit() to quit the webdriver which would close it's terminal window in Windows.
Your code seems to work fine. I tested it and the IE browser closed at the end.
Try obj1.close(); instead of obj1.quit();
Here is the Answer to your Question:
Try these settings for IE 11:
Note: You have to set Zoom Level to 100% for IE to work properly.
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\IEDriverServer.exe");
DesiredCapabilities cap = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
cap.setCapability("platform", "WIN8");
cap.setCapability("version", "11");
cap.setCapability("browserName", "internet explorer");
cap.setCapability("ignoreProtectedModeSettings",1);
cap.setCapability("nativeEvents","false");
cap.setCapability("ignoreZoomSetting", true);
cap.setCapability("requireWindowFocus","true");
cap.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS,true);
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(cap);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get("https://google.co.in");
System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
driver.quit();
Let me know if this Answers your Question.

I'm trying this now.
This code works for me.

System.out.println(point.toString());
Robot robot = new Robot();
robot.mouseMove(point.x+10,point.y+110); //This 10 and 110 just to adjust coordenate in my case
Thread.sleep(3000); //Pause for you see the mouse move

Gecodriver + Selenium 3.0.1 has issues with Actions class.
Refer following links for more details.
https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/issues/233
https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/issues/322
https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/2581
So dvice is to drop back to selenium v2.53.1 and firefox browser 47.0
Thanks !
For selenium webdriverjs 3.6 javascript mouseMove can be used for mouse hover
const actions = driver.actions({ bridge: true });
driver.findElement(By.css('#mousehover'))
.then(function (elem) {
actions.mouseMove(elem).perform();
driver.sleep(1000)
// other actions..
});`

It is the BitTorrent toolbar that is causing the issue. It is launched into Chrome by an extension. Either uninstall it completely, or force Selenium to tell Chrome to disable all extensions. This can be done using the ChromeOptions class:
http://selenium.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/chrome/ChromeOptions.html
Use the addArgument method and give it this arguement, which tells Chrome to disable all user extensions:
--disable-extensions
Check the browser settings and see if the default homepage has been changed by the bit torrent toolbar that is installed. If not needed, try to uninstall the bitTorrent toolbar from the browser and rerun your selenium program. Hope this helps.
This problem is specificaly related to chrome installed on your system..Uninstall the google chrome and re-install it..That will fix your problem..:)
