Selenium (WebDriver) cannot see richfaces modal panel - testing

I'm having some issues trying to test elements inside a RichFaces modal panel, as the one
in the demo page of RichFaces here
the issue is that once retrieved an element I cannot interact with it because WebDriver throws a ElementNotVisibleException.
I check it with firebug, and it appears greyed out, because some of the divs have height and width set to 0.
I tried to set all the divs manually with a height and size to see if it changes but there is no way to make it work, so I suppose there must be something else affecting the visibility of the modal panel, but cannot find what.
Has anyone tested webdriver or selenium against a richfaces panel?
Thanks in advance.
Edit:
For the code, is too much to put here, but basically I adapted the jbehave tutorial for the etsy website (the one using spring to inject dependencies), that can be found here.
The architecture is using a PropertyWebDriverProvider that is configured by maven properties to use InternetExplorer or Firefox and is using PageObject pattern (all the pages extend from WebDriverPage).
For specific code, the one from JimEvans gives me the same error.

The following code seems to work for me using the demo site you linked to in your question. It gets the text content of the modal panel, then clicks the "button" to close the panel.
public void testPanel() {
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
driver.get("http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/modalPanel.jsf?c=modalPanel");
WebElement panelShow = driver.findElement(By.id("j_id352:link"));
panelShow.click();
WebElement panel = driver.findElement(By.id("j_id352:panelCDiv"));
WebElement panelTextElement = panel.findElement(By.className("rich-mpnl-body"));
System.out.println(panelTextElement.getText());
WebElement panelCloseButton = panel.findElement(By.id("j_id352:hidelink"));
panelCloseButton.click();
}

Only solution I found out was to do all the interaction with javascript through webdriver

Webelement on salesforce page is not identified when running selenium script

I have a web element with xpath //button[#name='FinServ__FinancialAccountRole__c.Add_ITR']
Add ITR
This button element is correctly identified in browser console using developer tools in chrome. Chrome version is 92.0.4515.159
But same element is not identified when running the script. I have checked there is no iframe or frame in the page. Element is not identified even with Javascript.
Appreciate any pointers to resolve this issue.
It could be, cause FinServ__FinancialAccountRole__c can be dynamic in nature, did you see in automation windows that we have a unique entry for
//button[#name='FinServ__FinancialAccountRole__c.Add_ITR']
if not, you can try with text itself.
//button[text()='Add ITR']
also have a proper delay before interaction.
Page was opened in a new tab in the window. Iterated to new window using below window handling code:
Set<String> windowIds = driver.getWindowHandles();
Iterator<String> it = windowIds.iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
driver.switchTo().window(it.next());
}
After iterating to new window handle and then using the driver object, element was correctly located on running the script.

Not able to locate web element on chrome browser's settings popup

I am trying to clear browser cache, for which i need to click on clear data button of browser setting popup, but, i am not able to write xpath for the button on chrome browser
i have tried inspecting the element to find out if the button is on a iframe but its not in iframe, so i have decided to try it with an with out iframe snippet, either of ways the element is not traces out in dom
public void clearBrowserCache() throws InterruptedException{
driver.get("chrome://settings/clearBrowserData");
Thread.sleep(2000);
System.out.println(driver.getWindowHandles());
String windowIds=driver.getWindowHandle();
// driver.switchTo().frame(windowIds);
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(
[id=clearBrowsingDataConfirm]")).click();
}
Expected is that i should be able to click on the clear data button
Actual is that i am not able to find out the xpath for of the emlement
Depending on which version of chrome you are using, this could work:
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("* /deep/ #clearBrowsingDataConfirm")).click();
However the /deep/ combinator is deprecated, so it may not work on newer Chrome's versions.
I answered how to reach inside the Shadow DOM in an other question.
You can read the whole thing at the link, but the basics are you create a "starting point" WebElement at the Shadow DOM via JavaScript, then all future look-ups reference it:
WebElement button = startingPoint.findElement(By.cssSelector("..."));

Selenium WebDriver -- Unable to click on hyperlink, click goes to the other element

I am unable to click on Website hyperlink, the click goes to Recently used pages.
Tried with CSS locator of Website icon [which works in the lower environment as it doesn't have Recently used pages] reference in it.
Tried with XPath Locator[including custom XPath], still, the click goes to another item.
Tried name locator.
Used Actions class for clicking.
Allowed the page to load completely by using sleep and WebDriver wait.
Located the element and send Enter keys, still Recently used pages is clicked.
Tried to click it using coordinates.
Thought of ChromeDriver issue but the issue persists in Firefox too.
Tried below XPath:
html/body/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/a/div
//div[2]/div/a/div
Code snippet:
WebElement elementToClick = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".icon.siteadmin"));
elementToClick.click();
WebElement elementToClick = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".icon.siteadmin"));
(JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("window.scrollTo(0,"+elementToClick.getLocation().x+")");
elementToClick.click();
WebElement elementToClick = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".icon.siteadmin"));
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(elementToClick);
actions.click().perform();
Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
builder.moveToElement(elementToClick, 40, 207).click().build().perform();
Result: It clicks on Recently Used Pages, and it yields a result of Recently used pages instead of Website.
UI Reference
Development Code Snippet
Hope It Helps you:
.//div[#id='box_2']/a/div[#class='icon siteadmin']/div[1]
Try the following:
driver.findElement(By.XPath(“//a[contains(#title, ‘Websites’)]”)).click()
If this doesn’t work use the above XPath in combination with one of the moves to element paths above and then use click.

How to resolve org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException?

I am writing an automated test and want to report bugs, if occur, directly in the repo at GitHub. The step which fails in my program is the Submit new issue button from GitHub Issue Tracker.
Here is the code:
WebElement sendIssue = driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[5]/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/form/div[2]/div[1]/div/div/div[3]/button"));
sendIssue.click();
And the exception:
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Element is not clickable at
point (883, 547.7999877929688). Other element would receive the click:
div class="modal-backdrop"></div
The following command also does not work:
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();", sendIssue);
How can I make it clickable? Is there any other way by which I can resolve this issue?
This is happening because when selenium is trying to click ,the desired element is not clickable.
You have to make sure that the Xpath provided by you is absolutely right.If you are sure about the Xpath then try the following
replace
WebElement sendIssue = driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[5]/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/form/div[2]/div[1]/div/div/div[3]/button"));
sendIssue.click();
with
WebElement sendIssue =(WebElement)new WebDriverWait(DRIVER,10).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("/html/body/div[5]/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/form/div[2]/div[1]/div/div/div[3]/button")));
sendIssue.click();
If that doesn't work ,You will get an Timeout exception, In that case try incaresing the timeout amount from 10 to 20.
If it still doesn't work please post a screenshot of the HTML.
You need to write something in the issue title and description to make the issue clickable are you sure you are not making that mistake of clicking the button without writing anything in those places I am adding screenshot for your convenience.
Selenium Webdriver introduced in a previous version (v2.48) a new behavior that prevent clicks on elements that may be overlapped for something else (a fixed header or footer - for example) or may not be at your viewport (visible area of the webpage within the browser window).
You can see the debate here.
To solve this you will need to scroll (up or down) to the element you're trying to click.
One approach would be something like this post:
Page scroll up or down in Selenium WebDriver (Selenium 2) using java
Another, and maybe more reasonable, way to create a issue on Github, would be using their API. Maybe it would be good to check out!
Github API - Issues
Gook luck.
This worked for me. Instead of HTML browser this would be useful if we perform intended Web Browser
// Init chromedriver
String chromeDriverPath = "/Path/To/Chromedriver" ;
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromeDriverPath);
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--headless", "--disable-gpu", "--window-size=1920,1200","--ignore-certificate-errors");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

How to click Image icon using selenium webdriver

I am trying to click the image icon via xPath but when i run the code the link present on image icon is not opening. could you please help me in resolving this issue.
The Code i used to click the mail icon :
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='e-switcher-mail-icon']")).click();
As slanec said more information is required or might be the element is not loaded. If u feel that the element has loaded and still its not happening, using java script is one way to click the image element.
Something like this
WebElement element = driver.findElement (By.xpath ("//*[#id='e-switcher-mail-icon']"));
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
executor.executeScript ("arguments[0].click();" , element);
Could be that the element hasn't yet loaded in the DOM. Try waiting for expected conditions:
Wait<WebDriver> wait= new FluentWait<WebDriver>(driver).withTimeout(15L, TimeUnit.SECONDS).pollingEvery(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
WebElement icon = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//*[#id='e-switcher-mail-icon']")));
icon.click();
Touché. It's the frames. Either <frame> or <iframe>, both need special care, see the documentation on the topic.
What you need to do:
driver.switchTo().frame("s_MainFrame");
after this, the driver's context will switch to the frame and all searches will be done in it, so you should be able to find the element without any further problems.
Once you're done in the frame and you need to switch back to the default context of the page, do:
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
