My selenium webdriver script doesn't work on Chrome - selenium

Question

package javapackage;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
public class SeleniumQuora {
public static void LaunchQuora()
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","E:\\SBI SO\\Selenium\\Extracts\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.quora.com/");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(13, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='__w2_lIh8Ilg_google_connect_button']/span")).click();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
LaunchQuora();}}
this code is supposed to click on "Continue with Google" option in the signIn page. But nothing happens. Its pretty basic I know but I searched most places and cant find the answer.

Answer 1

Actually you are locating wrong element, In this website there is no element with the id __w2_lIh8Ilg_google_connect_button as I seeing, May be provided id is dynamically generated, So if you want to click on Continue with Google button simply try using By.linkText() as below :-
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","E:\\SBI SO\\Selenium\\Extracts\\chromedriver.exe");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--disable-popup-blocking");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.get("https://www.quora.com/");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(13, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Continue with Google")).click();
Hope it helps..:)
