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 not able to input element in the form inside fieldset tag

I have tried a different method to input elements like
Here is xpath I used
By NameOfTheProperty=By.xpath("//fieldset/div/input[#name='name']");
By NameOfTheProperty=By.xpath("//div/input[#name='name']");
By NameOfTheProperty=By.xpath("//input[#name='name']");
Tried with Selenium Builder
WebElement element=driver.findElement(by);
Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
Action mouseOverHome = builder
.moveToElement(element)
.click().sendKeys(text).build();
mouseOverHome.perform();
Tried with
WebElement element=driver.findElement(by);
element.sendKeys(text);
None of the methods is working..I can not able to input text inside the field and It shows
Element not interactable
Here is the site
I hope someone help me to find out the solution..

Please check in the dev tools (Google chrome) if we have unique entry in HTML DOM or not.
Steps to check:
Press F12 in Chrome -> go to element section -> do a CTRL + F -> then paste the xpath and see, if your desired element is getting highlighted with 1/1 matching node.
xpath you should checks is :
//input[#name='name']
if it is unique, then you can use Javascript executor :
WebElement password_input = driver.findElemenet(By.xpath("//input[#name='name']"));
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].setAttribute('value', 'password_should_be_written_here')", password_input)

personally I would use id's if the element has one.
"//*[#id='__BVID__104']"
Make sure you are waiting for the element to be ready.
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait();
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(element));
If it then times out on wait.until(... then I've found that sometimes an element must first be clicked for it to be exposed.
If this is the case. You will have to inspect the element before it is clicked. Find it's xpath, and see if it changes when it is clicked. If so then create a webElement for that element and have Selenium first click it, before clicking the actual field/element.

how to click in href link with selenium-java

i'm working with selenium-java to automate some tests (it's self learning). I'm stuck in click a hyperlink, but this href is pretty particular, because like this:
<a tabindex="-1" href="../../myWebPage.html"><span>My Web Page</span></a>
My java code is:
1.- driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[#href='../../myWebPage.html']")).click();
2.- driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[#href='https://RealHost/pag1/myWebPage.html']")).click();
The second option that i used is with the real link, but non of them is working.
Could you please help me?
P.S: I also used the option driver.findElement(By.LinkText("https://RealHost/pag1/myWebPage.html")).click(); but without success.
Thanks guys!

You should be able to locate the link element by first finding its parent element by looking through the DOM and getting the xpath for that.
Then use that parent element to find elements with a tag of "a"
WebElement parent = findElement(By.xpath("/*path to parent element here*/"));
parent.findElement(By.tagName("a")).click();
Note that the parent element may have multiple children of tagName "a" if that is the case use findElements() to get a collection of all the hyperlinks with that parent. Then search the collection for the one you want.
WebElement parent = findElements(By.xpath("/*path to parent element here*/"));
List<WebElement> elements = parent.findElements(By.tagName("a")).click();
//search the list for the correct link
Another thing you could try would be to locate the element by linkText.
findElement(By.linkText("/*The hyperlinks text*/")).click();
hope this helps!

Try either of the xpath.
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(#href,'/myWebPage.html')]//span[text()='My Web Page']")).click();
OR
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[.//span[text()='My Web Page']]")).click();
OR css selector
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a[href*='/myWebPage.html']>span")).click();

this works for me:
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.linkText("My Web Page"))).click();
i added a wait overe the element to be clickable and it's works
Thanks guys for your help.
Bye

this works fine for IE driver, but with Chrome is failing due to:
stale element reference: element is not attached to the web page
Help please!

selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: Element is not currently visible JAVA

I am working on selenium, while running Java code I tried to CLICK a menu from the web page but encounter error of selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: Element is not currently visible Kindly advise on this matters . Thanks you
HTML code for text field :
<li onclick="goin('pages/AbcProxy/proxyGroupList.do')>
TESTABC
JAVA code:
WebdriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,50);
wait until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("/html/body/div/div/ul/li[12]/a")));

presenceOfElementLocated checks if the element exists in the DOM. To check if the element is visible use visibilityOfElementLocated
WebdriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,50);
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("/html/body/div/div/ul/li[12]/a")));
element.click();

It might be that your xpath is to a different a element that is invisible (css display none or such).
It would be better to use some id first (maybe for the parent ul?) and then a relative xpath from there, full xpaths from root are not recommended as it makes the test very brittle

WebDriver not able to locate element by xpath using Java

I've been working at this for some time now. I'm using Selenium and WebDriver version 2.45 (with all browsers). I'm using Java, which should be arbitrary.
What I'm doing is simply find an element and hover over it, which I have done in earlier code. But for some reason, I can't get this one to work. I'm trying to get an element with this xpath, obtained by right-clicking the element in the HTML in Chrome and clicking "copy xpath":
.//*[#id='at-container']/div/div/div/form/div/div[1]/input[4]
What I have tried and did not work:
WebElement userName_editbox = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='formelements' and #name='login']"));
WebElement userName_editbox = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[#id='at-container']/div/div/div/form/div/div[1]/input[4]]"));
