Java Selenium FindBy cannot find div by unique class name

I am using Selenium with Java and I have encountered issue that I am unable to find div by class name, even though it is unique:
<div class="123123-randomclassname"></div>
I am able to find any other element, e.g. input, button, etc. I have issues with div tag only.
I have tried getting this web element using either #FindBy() annotation and findElement() method:
driver.findElement(By.className("123123-randomclassname"))
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div[class='123123-randomclassname'"))
#FindBy(className = "123123-randomclassname")
#FindBy(css = "div[class='123123-randomclassname'")
Any of these solutions did not work and I couldn't find element.

Try with following css selector
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div[class^='123123-']"))

//# and ]closing bracket was missing in syntax
WebElement DivTag = driver.findElement(By.xpath("div[#class='123123-randomclassname']"));
//OR
#FindBy(xpath = "div[#class='123123-randomclassname']") WebElement DivTag2;

Selenium webdriver (java) - Click on desired link of some search results

I am doing automation using selenium webdriver (java) on a search engine BookMyCrop (http://www.bookmycrop.com). Here, I searched for a crop but, I am not able to click on desired search result. Please help me with it.
Code :
WebElement search = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id=\"search_keyword\"]"));
search.sendKeys("59825");
search.sendKeys(Keys.ENTER);
driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("Cashew")).click();
------My 1st try-------------
//WebElement link = driver.findElement(By.xpath("\"//div[#id = 'Links']/a[3]\""));
//link.click();
------My 2nd try-------------
//List<WebElement> find = driver.findElements(By.xpath("/html/body/section[2]/div[2]/div/div/div/div[1]"));
//find.get(1).click();
}
} –

You can use the css selector based on class names: ".product-block.inner-product-block" and get the list of all the search results.
Then click on whatever index you want to click.
I am not using an IDE for this but it would look something like this:
driver.findElements(By.cssSelector(".product-block.inner-product-block")).get(0).click();

As said, you can try with css ".product-block.inner-product-block"
Then
get List of WebElements
do loop
inside loop, try get text of each element or innerText attribute
cross check if it is required one or not by simple if condition
If so, click on that web element and break loop
if this locator is not giving required info, try other locator. say $$("a h3") for veg names.

The below code worked for me. It is navigates to the correct link
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().setScriptTimeout(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get("http://www.bookmycrop.com");
WebElement search = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id=\"search_keyword\"]"));
search.sendKeys("59825");
search.sendKeys(Keys.ENTER);
driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("Cashew")).click();

Selenium WebDriver can't find element by #FindBy annotation

I want to find this element
driver.findElement(By.className("name")).findElement(By.tagName("a"));
is there way to use #FindBy annotation?

This is possible. Selenium supports both #FindBys and #FindAll which adds finer tuning for page objects.
For chained element look-up, (which is what you're doing, a look-up inside a look-up), you'll want #FindBys.
#FindBys({#FindBy(className = "name"), #FindBy(tagName= "a")})
private WebElement element;
Further reading on FindBys and FindAll.

Since you are looking for an "a" tag inside an element with the "name" class, try combining them via XPath or CSS selectors:
#FindBy(xpath = "//*[#class = 'name']/a")
private WebElement nameLink;
or
#FindBy(css = ".name > a")
private WebElement nameLink;

I several test FindBys annotation in selenium but sometime when use
TageName and Name it's not correctly work!!.
ofter Find List<WebElement> use driver.findElement(By.name("....")) to do filter.

Locating button with xpath - JAVA / Selenium 2 in Chrome

Code behind button:
<input class=”btn” id=”mypage:formid:relatedScenaiosListId:j_id27:j_id28″ name=”mypage:formid:relatedScenaiosListId:j_id27:j_id28″ onclick=”window.open(‘/apex/newscenario?Opportunity__c=006f00000072n8hAAA’,’_top’, 1);;A4J.AJAX.Submit(‘mypage:formid’,event,{‘similarityGroupingId’:’mypage:formid:relatedScenaiosListId:j_id27:j_id28′,’parameters’:{‘mypage:formid:relatedScenaiosListId:j_id27:j_id28′:’mypage:formid:relatedScenaiosListId:j_id27:j_id28′} } );return false;” value=”New” type=”button”>
I did a right click from the Inspect Element view and saw I could copy the Xpath and found it was :
//*[#id="mypage:formid:relatedScenaiosListId:j_id27:j_id28"]
Note the *.
I tired:
WebElement txtnew = driver.findElement(By.xpath(“//input[#id='mypage:formid:relatedScenaiosListId:j_id27:j_id28']“));
txtnew.click();
and
WebElement txtnew = driver.findElement(By.xpath(“//input[#id='mypage:formid:relatedScenaiosListId:j_id27:j_id28'][#value='New']“));
txtnew.click();
but neither worked.
I’m curious about the *, if that should be part of my Xpath statement?

If it's not necessary for you to use xpath, use searching by id, or cssSelectors to find your element. E.g.
//if you have only one element with class btn you can use this selector
//if element placed in parent (and this can identify element much more) add selector to
//parent before .btn
WebElement txtnew = driver.findElement(By.Css(".btn"));
//or
WebElement txtnew = driver.findElement(By.Css("input[value='New']"));
//or if id not generated automatically
WebElement txtnew = driver.findElement(By.Css("#mypage:formid:relatedScenaiosListId:j_id27:j_id28"));
//or using By.Id
WebElement txtnew = driver.findElement(By.Id("mypage:formid:relatedScenaiosListId:j_id27:j_id28"));
Any of them will work in specific situation. Choose one which more suitable for your sitution. Thanks.

Try this xpath:
input[#value='New'][#class='btn'][starts-with(#id, 'mypage:formid')]

The real issue, that I didn't realize, was that the control was in a different frame. Once I set the driver to look at the frame any number of xpath expressions worked.
` driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(25, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.switchTo().frame("066i0000004bNpx");
WebElement txtNewbtn = driver.findElement(By.id("mypage:formid:relatedScenaiosListId:j_id27:j_id28"));
txtNewbtn.click();`

webdriver classname with space using java

This question received great answers in jquery and I was wondering if someone could give an example of this in Java please?
I'm doing driver.findElement(By.className("current time")).click(); The space is the issue, and I see the explanation at the link, but I'm not sure how to handle it in java, and don't have access to change the class name.
Pasting example of what i get in the firefox inspect id: Example with cssSelector below did not work, but i may be missing something.
<span>
<a class="current time" href="http://someurl/" onclick="s_objectID="http://someur/">url</a>
</span>

Instead of class name you can use a css selector. You don't mention the tagname for the class 'current time'. I am assuming it to be input, so your css selector work be,
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[class='current time']"));
element.click();
Edit#1 Based on html provided,
Looking at the html in your comment, it seems you have quite a few options to find the webElement. Here are your options,
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a[class='current time']"));
element.click();
or this should work too,
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a.current.time"));
element.click();
You can also use linkText since the element is link. From the html you provided, the link text is 'url'
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.linkText("url"));
element.click();
You can also use By.partialLinkText("partial link text here");
You can also use xpath as:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[#class='current time']"));
element.click();
OR,
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[text() = 'url']"));
element.click();

For a less fragile test, another option is to use an XPATH which doesn't depend of the order of classes, like:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(#class, 'current') and contains(#class, 'time')]"));

Whenever you found some space in the class name you need to switch to cssSelector Locator.
Convert a class name to cssSelector if it is having a space as below.
In your case it would be:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".current.time"));
element.click();
PS: add . [dot] in start of class name and replace the space with . [dot] to convert class name to cssSelector.
