I am unable to access the newly opened page after submitting a form in same tab (not in new tab). I am a newbie in selenium driver, please help me.
In-fact, I accessed first page and filled form successfully, and then I clicked a submit button and proceed to next page, opened in same tab. But then I failed to access that newly opened page.
I also use 10 sec explicit wait to manage form submission and new page opening time but doesn't working. I didn't use WindowHandles() because I am not comfortable to use that. Will Windowhandles() work ?
Only one way I am able to access new page by using separately navigate().to() method after clicking submit button. But is this good approach to get control at new page rather than automating control to new page by some other way ?
I used following explicit wait and then accessed a button at newly page, but doesn't working:
WebDriverWait WaitVar = new WebDriverWait (driver, 10);
WaitVar.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("BTNCustomQuestionFinalStep")));
driver.findElement(By.id("BTNCustomQuestionFinalStep")).click();
Without using explicit wait I got following error:
no such element: Unable to locate element
After using explicit wait I got following error:
Expected condition failed: waiting for visibility of element located by By.id: BTNCustomQuestionFinalStep (tried for 10 second(s) with 500 milliseconds interval)

I'm coding test with Selenium Webdriver (Java), getting https://cloud.google.com as a driver.
I start with finding search input field, sendKeys("search phrase \n"). After that page starts changing its content and I'm trying to intersept these changes with WebDriverWait:
// first Wait - is to wait before page starts changing is content by removing search google icon
new WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOf(searchInputFieldIcon));
//second Wait - i'm waiting new hyperlink to appear (this hyperlink appears in search results after the whole page is asynchronically reloaded without page reloading)
new WebDriverWait(driver,30)
.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//a[#href='https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator']")));
The point is, that Wait doesn't waits for 30 seconds before element shows up. Code just throws an exception:
org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException:
no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//a[#href='https:`//cloud.google.com/products/calculator']"}`
Any help will be much appreciated!
Please check the attached screenshot. Here the Href link is different then you have used in your code.
You can use the below code
wait.until(expectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.linkText("Google Cloud Platform Pricing ")));
To locate the first search result you can use the following xpath;
//a[contains(text(),'Google Cloud Platform Pricing')]
Checking your xpath
You can check whether your xpath is correct or not from the browser itself.
Go to DevTools (Ctril + Shift + I)
In the 'Elements' tab, press Ctrl + F
Input the xpath that you want to check
And it will show you whether it is correct and how many web-elements can be located from it.
I am a beginner in selenium and I would like to press a file submission field.
I have already done a whole code to connect to the page, click on the buttons etc. (everything works, my driver is good)
But impossible to click on adding file
I looked on the internet how to do it, I added time, tried to browse the frames, used javascript for the hidden class... I tried all the buttons in the field and it doesn't detect them.
Add File
Source code
Thread.sleep(2000);
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,1000)");
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 60);// 1 minute
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//*#id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1584634673387_348\"]/div[1]/div[1]/a")));`
org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[#id="yui_3_17_2_1_1584634673387_348"]/div[1]/div[1]/a"}
Do you have an idea ?
The primary issue I observed looking at the code is the incorrect locator in your Explicit Condition element checking line. It can be replaced with below code:
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//*[#id='yui_3_17_2_1_1584634673387_348']/div[1]/div[1]/a")));
Basic XPath Syntax for reference though it has it's variations:
//tagname[#attrbute='value']
Additional advice Though I am not sure about the application you are automating, but the ID is likely to be changed. Based on the DOM Structure you have provided in the link above I would say change the locator to something on the lines of:
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//a[#role='button'][#title='Add..']")));
The below test is written using Selenium-
I have a test case where I click on a "next>>" button and the application performs some calculation on server and renders to a new page, but after clicking the "next>>" button sometimes it takes 1-2 minutes to open the next page.
In this test case I am verifying the title of next page to confirm that the next page actually opened and after that I perform further actions to this next page.
But the problem I am facing is when I click on "next>>" button and server take some time, the code to verify the title gives stale Element Reference Exception. If I remove the verify Title code block it perform further actions without any error.
Please suggest some solution to this problem.
I'm not sure this will help as you didn't share the whole code
but you can make selenium wait until the page is loaded before assertion
Try below code
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 180);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(// element in the page to be
displayed after you press next);
By using this before the assertion Selenium will not make the assertion until the page is loaded
I doing automation on a particular website(say xyz.com). When I open the URL manually, it lands me onto a login page as expected and I am able to login there as well.
However, when I am automating the scenario by creating new instance of Firefox using new FirefoxDriver(), login page opens quickly but; when I click on login button it takes almost 2 minutes to navigate to a homepage.
I tried using a new profile but it didnt help.
I am using Selenium 2.44.0 on MAC with Java(Eclipse).
Please help.
I had the same problem with Selenium. What I ended up doing was making the webdriver wait till the page title changes(to homepage) using Expected Conditions.
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 15);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.titleContains(": My Expected Page title"));
I would suggest you to have a look here:
driver.wait() throws IllegalMonitorStateException
Wait for page load in Selenium
I am using Java and Firefox and Firebug
I am not able to locate the element on the second page. For example if I login to gmail then I am not able to locate and click on the sent items or any other button on the next page.
I tried with the xpath (both absolute and relative) but every time I am getting an error that element not found.
with the code I am successfully able to login but as soon as the page loads I get an error "Element not Found".
Please suggest any solution
Unless you are telling WebDriver to wait until the element on the 2nd page is loaded, WebDriver will simply try to click the element as soon as its able to run. This is bad because your element might not yet be loaded while WebDriver is already trying to click it... TIMEOUT mayhem ensues...
Try the following... use the WebDriverWait class to make WebDriver wait for the element on the page to be loaded before attempting to click it...:
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 100);
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("your xpath")));
element.click();
The '100' in WebDriverWait(driver, 100) is the maximum amount of seconds you want WebDriver to repeatedly attempt to locate the element before it times out...
I agree with the answer by CODEBLACK. Also you can go for Imlicit wait,which would make selenium wait implicitly for a given period of time.
Try following:-
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
You can specify time as per your convenience.
Best O Luck. . .!
