Why I am not able to handle the password field using selenium web driver in new gmail login page? - selenium

Question

I am new to selenium web driver, I am writing script to login in to the gmail below is the test script that I created.
public class gmailEmail {
public void login() {
ChromeDriver driver=new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.gmail.com");
driver.findElementById("Email").sendKeys("XXXXX#gmail.com");
driver.findElementByName("signIn").click();
driver.findElementById("Passwd").sendKeys("XXXX");
//driver.findElementByXPath("//*[#id='Passwd']").sendKeys("XXXXX");
driver.findElementByXPath("//*[#id='signIn']").click();
}
When I run this the error is triggering at "driver.findElementById("Passwd")" following error message is displaying
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"id","selector":"Passwd"}

If I debug by inserting a breakpoint at "driver.findElementById("Passwd")" then the whole script is working fine.
Can some one please help me out in understanding what I am doing wrong here?

Answer 1

The error says it isn't able to identify the element that means by the time selenium has executed the command to enter password, the element wasn't loaded or not visible in the UI.
You may want to use ImplicitWait or ExplicitWaits. You can read about them here
You can try ExplicitWait to wait for the Passwd element:
public void login() {
ChromeDriver driver=new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.gmail.com");
driver.findElementById("Email").sendKeys("XXXXX#gmail.com");
driver.findElementByName("signIn").click();
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.id("Passwd")).sendKeys(""What ever");
driver.findElementByXPath("//*[#id='signIn']").click();
}

Answer 2

try with below code:
public void login() {
ChromeDriver driver=new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.gmail.com");
driver.findElementById("Email").sendKeys("XXXXX#gmail.com");
driver.findElementByXPath("//*[#id='signIn']").click();
driver.findElementById("Passwd").sendKeys("XXXX");
driver.findElementByXPath("//*[#id='signIn']").click();
}
Add chrome driver capabilities

Answer 3

Try it once.
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.gmail.com");
driver.manage().timeouts().impliciltyWait(30,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.findElement(By.id("email-display").sendKeys("XXXXX#gmail.com");
driver.findElement(By.id("next"").click();
driver.findElement(By.id("Passwd")).sendKeys("xxxxxx");
driver.findElementByXPath("//*[#id='signIn']").click();
