I'm doing some R&D with Selenium and I've found an inconsistancy I can't explain between the InternetExplorerDriver and the ChromeDriver.
I run this code:
var driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.google.com");
var query = driver.FindElement(By.Name("q"));
query.SendKeys("Hello World!");
query.Submit();
Everything works fine, my browser navigates to google and searches for "Hello World!".
But when I try exactly the same code with the InternetExplorerDriver
var driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.google.com");
var query = driver.FindElement(By.Name("q"));
query.SendKeys("Hello World!");
query.Submit();
I get an error on the FindElement line.
An exception of type 'OpenQA.Selenium.NoSuchWindowException' occurred
in WebDriver.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: Unable to find element on closed window
I have IE 11.0.9600.17905 installed.
Am I missing a step with IE?
Check out the required configuration section on the IEDriver wiki. I would hazard a guess and say your problem is "you must set the Protected Mode settings for each zone to be the same value".

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.
I am trying to detect the login id and password field of a website : https://mretailstore.com/login but seems selenium is not able to locate the email type box. I have checked stackoverflow but didn't get any solution to this. Someone has used iframe because of what he/she was facing the same issue but here we have not incorporated any iframe.
The error I am getting is:
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to locate element: .//*[#id='identity']
The code I am using:
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Users\\MI SERVICE\\Downloads\\geckodriver.exe");
FirefoxOptions capa = new FirefoxOptions();
capa.setCapability("marionette", true);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(capa);
driver.get("https://www.mretailstore.com/");
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='identity']")).sendKeys("abc#d.com");
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='password']")).sendKeys("abc123");
driver.findElement(By.id("loginbutton")).click();
driver.navigate().back();
driver.close();
It looks your xpath is correct only and this exception is happening before element rendering.So, Please add the some explicit wait after the page loading.
It is working for me with/without Explicit Wait.
Code:
driver.get("https://www.mretailstore.com/");
WebDriverWait wait=new WebDriverWait(driver,20);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.titleIs("Login"));
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='identity']")).sendKeys("abc#d.com");
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='password']")).sendKeys("abc123");
driver.findElement(By.id("loginbutton")).click();
I am facing an weird issue. I have a selenium suite to execute on multiple browsers. It works fine of chrome and Firefox. But in case of IE, the web page under test gets shrunk (web page resize) making elements hidden. Hence facing NoSuchElementException.
I have already tried executing on full screen. No help.
Please help in solving this issue.
Thanks,
Praveen
Don't know the exact reason for that, however, suggested workaround would be to implement pre-execution method for your test which would take care of all your browser different configurations. For example, if you are using Java with Selenium and JUnit5, it might be:
#BeforeEach
void beforeTestExecution() {
DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
desiredCapabilities.setCapability(
CapabilityType.ForSeleniumServer.ENSURING_CLEAN_SESSION, true);
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(desiredCapabilities);
// Navigate to URL
driver.get("http://www.yoursite.com");
// Maximize your website window before test.
driver.manage().window().maximize();
}
Or:
#BeforeEach
void configBrowser() {
DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
desiredCapabilities.setCapability(
CapabilityType.ForSeleniumServer.ENSURING_CLEAN_SESSION, true);
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(desiredCapabilities);
// Start Internet Explorer maximized.
driver.manage().window().maximize();
}
I want to perform a click using javascriptexecutor.
JavasciptExecutor jse=(JavascriptExecutor) webDriver;
jse.executescript("arguments[0].click();",webelement)
While running from safari,it is showing "undefined is not a function<evaluating arguments[0].click "
Same works fine in chrome driver.
Am I need to add any capabilities while initiating webDriver?
I have already added capabilities.SetJavascriptEnabled(true). Still it is not working
You have to set the capabilities of driver browserwise.
When running the testcases in safari browser set a global flag for browser. You can create a config file and add "safari" or "chrome" when running it through safari or chrome.
In your source initialize your driver for safari like below :
if (browser.equals("safari")) {
SafariOptions safariOptions = new SafariOptions();
safariOptions.setUseCleanSession(true);
safariOptions.setUseTechnologyPreview(true);
driver = new SafariDriver(safariOptions);
}
Then navigate to your desired url. Here i am adding a sample source for your understanding.
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
WebElement elem = driver.findElement(By.className("gb_P"));
jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
jse.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", elem);
Hope this will solve your issue. Feel free to comment here for more information.
I have to do login to an application with two different browsers (IE & FF) and hence I tried to do cross browser test. When the URL gets passed to IE, I am getting link as "Continue to this website not recommended", whereas the same link will not be displayed in FF. In the below if I use this statement driver.findElement(By.id("overridelink")).click(); then it works fine in IE but failing in firefox since there wont be any link in FF.
please let me know the possible where one script should run in both the browsers. Below is the script which am trying
#Test
#Parameters("browser")
public void verifypagetitle(String browsername) {
if(browsername.equalsIgnoreCase("IE"))
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver",
"D:\\2.53.1\\IEDriverServer.exe");
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
}
else if (browsername.equalsIgnoreCase("firefox"))
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.bin",
"C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe");
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
}
driver.get("URL");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.findElement(By.id("overridelink")).click();
driver.findElement(By.id("j_username")).sendKeys("userid");
driver.findElement(By.id("j_password")).sendKeys("pwd");
driver.findElement(By.id("j_password")).submit();
This is most likely caused by the IE security level. In my experience if I change it to Low, the warning is not present. You can try and see if this will solve the issue in your case.
Another solution is to add conditional logic to check the browser being used. Something like this:
Capabilities cap = ((RemoteWebDriver) browserDriver).getCapabilities();
String browsername = cap.getBrowserName();
// This block to find out if it is IE
if ("internet explorer".equalsIgnoreCase(browsername)) {
driver.findElement(By.id("overridelink")).click();
}
