I am coding a selenium webdriver test in Java. I need the test to click on a "Yes" button in chrome that does not have an id or name.
I cannot find the element to click on the button that only has "Yes" as its unique identifier. There is also a "No" button.
I have tried to find the WebElement using xpath, classname and I have tried findElements function. Nothing succeeds.
This is the HTML:
<span class="ui-btn-inner">
<span class="ui-btn-text popup-anchor-text">Yes</span>
</span>
I have tried:
WebElement yesBtn = browser.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='ui-btn-text popup-anchor-text']/span"));
WebElement yesBtn = browser.findElement(By.xpath("//span[.='Yes']"));
WebElement yesBtn = browser.findElement(By.xpath("//div[contains(text(), 'Yes')]"));
WebElement yesBtn = browser.findElement(By.xpath("//button[#class='ui-btn-text popup-anchor-text' and span='Yes']"));
WebElement yesBtn = browser.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='ui-btn-text popup-anchor-text' and span='Yes']"));
yesBtn.click();
List<WebElement> yesBtn = browser.findElements(By.className("ui-btn ui-shadow ui-btn-corner-all ui-btn-up-a"));
yesBtn.get(0).click();
Error message:
NoSuchElementException; no such element. Unable to locate element.
The correct XPath locator would be:
//span[text()='Yes']
Just in case you can go for normalize-space() function:
//span[normalize-space()='Yes']
If this doesn't help:
Make sure that the span doesn't belong to an iframe, otherwise you will have to switch to the iframe before attempting to locate the element.
driver.switchTo().frame("your-frame");
Make sure to use WebDriverWait class just in case the element is not immediately available so WebDriver would perform several find attempts with polling interval
new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//span[text()='Yes']")));
Try out //span[#class='ui-btn-inner']/descendant::span[contains(text(), 'Yes')]. It should help out.

I'm trying to do a simple selenium java automation for automating "sign in and sign out of amazon.com site". I'm able to sign in using element locator techniques, like XPath and CSS selector. But for signout, I'm thrown with ElementNotInteractable exception.
Below is the code that I tried(posting the code segment of signout alone).
WebElement element1 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//header/div[#id='navbar']/div[#id='nav-belt']/div[3]/div[1]/a[1]/span[1]"));
element1.click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[#id='nav-item-signout']")).click();
I have tried the above code segment with different element locator techniques like CSS selector and etc, but no luck.
Kindly suggest if I can find and click the sign-out link in the flyout menu by any other method.
Thanks.
You can try below code in which explicit wait is implemented so it will wait for the element to click
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
WebElement element1 =driver.findElement(By.xpath("//header/div[#id='navbar']/div[#id='nav-
belt']/div[3]/div[1]/a[1]/span[1]"));
element1.click();
ele2=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[#id='nav-item-signout']"))
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(ele2));
ele2.click();
Instead of the click() method try this :
WebElement element1 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//header/div[#id='navbar']/div[#id='nav-belt']/div[3]/div[1]/a[1]/span[1]"));
element1.sendKeys(Keys.RETURN);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[#id='nav-item-signout']")).sendKeys(Keys.RETURN);
And instead of RETURN you can also try ENTER
You can try below code in which mover hover is implemented so it will hover the menu then you can click for sign-out.
WebElement ele = driver.findElement(By.id("nav-link-accountList-nav-line-1"));
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.moveToElement(ele).perform();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='nav`enter code here`-item-signout']/span")).click();
I want to click a button(to send a form)
<button class="form-button primary">Click here</button>
I find the element like this:
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(),'Click here')]")).click;
On chorme is working and sending the form but in IE11 is not(sending the form).
To be clear, in IE is finding the element(or an element). But probably is not the correct element.
Addition info:
This is the only button with this text
I can probably find other ways to get this element , but if I rework this path I will need to change all the paths similar to this.
Selenium version:3.14
IE webdriver :3.14
There are several different ways of clicking on something using selenium. I would try using either a javascript click or an action click.
Javascript click:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(),'Click here')]"));
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);
Action click:
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(),'Click here')]"));
action.moveToElement(element).click().build().perform();
It's also possible that you are in the wrong frame while you are executing the click.
driver.switchTo.frame("Frame_ID");
You would be able to find the frame ID when you inspect the webpage.
If your usecase is to invoke click() you have to induce WebDriverWait for the elementToBeClickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
xpath using className and text:
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//button[#class='form-button primary' and text()='Click here']"))).click();
xpath using text:
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//button[text()='Click here']"))).click();
xpath using contains():
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//button[contains(., 'Click here')]"))).click();
Trying to send any data to "from text field" on below link.
https://flights.msn.com/en-in/flight-search
Code is below:
WebDriverWait wait= new WebDriverWait(driver,20);
WebElement dropdown=driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//a[#href='/en-in/weather'])[1]"));
dropdown.click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//a[#href='/en-in/travel'])[1]")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li/a[#href='https://flights.msn.com/en-in/flight-search']")).click();
//WebElement from=wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("(//div[#class='place-selector js-place-selector'])[1]")));
WebElement from=wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//*[#id='search']/div[1]/div[3]/div")));
//js.executeScript ("document.getElementById('from').focus();");
//from.click();
Thread.sleep(3000);
//from.sendKeys(Keys.BACK_SPACE);
from.sendKeys("Delhi");
from.sendKeys(Keys.ENTER);
Getting error:
Error:org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: cannot focus element
you need to send the word Delhi to a element then wait until the list appear next click the li contain it.
WebElement origin = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div.js-originplace a"));
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(origin).click().sendKeys("Delhi");
actions.build().perform();
WebElement from = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//ul//li[contains(., 'Delhi')]")));
from.click()
I think you have not enter proper xpath for from variable, you have forgot to enter index on last div i have shown below let see it helps if this not work then please print or paste all console error or information
WebElement from=wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//*[#id='search']/div[1]/div[3]/div")));
WebElement from=wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//*[#id='search']/div[1]/div[3]/div[index_no]")));
I think might be because of elementToBeClickable will you just change and let me know change it by presenceOfElement let see if its work or not
I have the following element:
<input type="hidden" data-dojo-attach-point="vn" value="adrija" aria-
hidden="true">
The above element is an element of dropdown and is hidden. The code that I have written is:
private WebElement adrija = Driver.driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[#value='adrija' and #data-dojo-attach-point='vn']"));
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", adrija);
It says it's not able to find the element.
Please help. Thanks. :)
Use css selector
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[type='hidden']"))
Or xpath
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[#type='hidden']"))
Note : the field has type hidden. You cannot do visible interaction like sendkeys or click as it is invisible
Selenium cannot work on the hidden elements. First, you need the click on the button which opens the drop-down menu. Then you do whatever you want. :).
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("XPATH"));
element.click();
WebElement childElement = driver.findElement(By.xpath("HidenElementXpath"));
childElement.click();
If the hidden element is in a frame, you need to switch to the frame!!!
Then try to find the element
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();`
