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.

Drop down button is not responding with selenium in java

I want to click on drop down button and select one among one and click on it.I tried by many ways but it is not working. Attached image of html code, Anyone help me regarding this.
Below is my code which i tried
driver.findElement(By.id("homepages_dropdown")).click();
/*List<WebElement> allElements = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[#id=\"homepages_item_AccountManagerDashboard\"]"));
for (WebElement element: allElements)
{
System.out.println(element.getText());
}*/

Just use "Select" to create an object that handles dropdowns etc. You can use "Select" to select element by it's text, index and a bunch of other options. It's the easiest way to handle such elements as dropdown and comboboxes.
new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("homepages_dropdown"))).selectByVisibleText("Your option's text");

This isn't the sharpest way to do it, but if you can't get developers to make it a specific select element via HTML it may have to do. I have stuff like this in my solution where there are custom dropdowns.
You can start by creating a dropdown element and then click a single record in it if that's what you're trying to do, in your case it looks like it is the span within the highlighted button element, so you can do something like the following:
driver.findElement(By.id("homepages_dropdown")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li//a[#id='homepages_item_AccountManagerDashboard']").click();
The above statements will click the dropdown then click the element with the id of homepages_item_AccountManagerDashboard.
You can also create a function that clicks any li of based off of a parameter you pass into a method you create, consider this if you may select many options in your dropdown.
public void SelectItem(string itemText)
{
var dropdownElement = driver.findElement(By.id("homepages_dropdown"));
var selectionItem = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li[text()='" + itemText + "']");
dropdownElement.Click();
selectionItem.Click();
}
This is only really a valid option if you are working through the Page Object Model, but it's the best way to make things work consistently long term.

To click on Dropdown button and Select the Option with text as Analytics you can use the following code block :
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#id='homepages']/button/span[#id='homepages_dropdown']")).click();
List<WebElement> allElements = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[#id='homepages']/ul/li/a"));
for (WebElement element : allElements)
if(element.getAttribute("innerHTML").contains("Analytics"))
{
element.click();
break;
}
System.out.println("Option with text as Analytics is selected");

I found solution myself,Below code worked
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("homepages_dropdown")));
// drop down
driver.findElement(By.id("homepages_dropdown")).click();
Thread.sleep(2000);
// selecting configuration
driver.findElement(By.id("homepages_item_ConfigurationHomepage")).click();
Thread.sleep(2000);

Dropdown not working with selenium for this site

Hi I tried using the below code to use the dropdown from the foodpanda site and choose the city name but it's not working for me.
public static void main(String args[]) throws InterruptedException{
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.foodpanda.in/restaurants/city/pune?gclid=CIbFi5iEvdMCFdeFaAodujsK5w");
Thread.sleep(5000);
WebElement drp =driver.findElement(By.id("cityId"));
Select drp2 = new Select(drp);
drp2.selectByVisibleText("Bangalore");
It gives out the error-
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: element not visible: Element is not currently visible and may not be manipulated

That <select> element has the CSS display: none;. Its just a place holder.
I think the site uses some fancy <span>s to get the awesome look of the drop down. Can you please check that?

So I was trying to figure out how the dropdown works & here's what I found. The select is just a placeholder, it has no role on the webpage. The dropdown is populated using a javascript call when the input box (see below) is clicked.
Once you click inside the input box, some DOM elements are added which contain <p> tag with city names, which when clicked, selects the target city you want to select.
Based on my observation, a span with class name tt-suggestions is visible when the input element is clicked. This span has a div within it which has all the p elements within it. You should aim to click the corresponding p element which has the text of your desired city name.
Here's a working code:
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
driver.findElement(
By.xpath("//input[#class='form-control twitter-typeahead tt-input']")
).click(); // this will click inside the input element
WebElement drp = (WebElement) wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(
By.xpath("//span[#class='tt-suggestions']"))); // this is the span element which gets populated
System.out.println(drp.getAttribute("innerHTML")); // just in case you want to see the above span's HTML code
drp.findElement(By.xpath("//div/p[text()[contains(.,'Bangalore')]]")).click(); // This will select Bangalore from the Dropdown

Selenium getting text input of Twingly (Java Code)

Please check out the element of this website.
It has a form, and along with 2 text input and 1 submit button.
I dont know which one from those 2 inputs that is actually used when the user type-in some urls over there.
But when I tried this (using firefoxDriver) to get the element:
WebElement textfieldURL = driver.findElement(By.id("ping-url")); // even ping-box not working
The result's unable to locate the element.
Then I change my code to this :
driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.className("ping-iframe")));
WebElement textfieldURL = driver.findElement(By.id("ping-url")); // even ping-box not working
The result's still unable to locate the element.
Any clues?

You haven't mentioned the exception which you are facing. As your input tag present under iframe so you need to first switch into frame and than have to perform actions -
driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.className("ping-iframe")));
//or you can use frame index as well
driver.switchTo().frame(0);
your element is available with the id ping-box . Try the following complete code -
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","D:/Application/geckodriver.exe");
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get("https://www.twingly.com/ping");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.className("ping-iframe")));
driver.findElement(By.id("ping-box")).sendKeys("http://www.google.com");
driver.findElement(By.id("ping-button")).click();
Same is working for me.

How to access the second element that has the same class name in selenium using java

When trying to automate our application, there are two buttons with same name.
I'm not able to find a way to recognize these. Please let me know what could be the other ways to identify these elements in selenium webdriver in java

You can use xpath indexing option.
By.xpath("(//input[#name='Button'])[2]")

You can go with xpath always if there is no uniqueness with attribute. For e.g. if you want to find an element which has text foo and name button then I'll prefer xpath as below if name is not unique there:
//*[#name='button' and text()='foo']
Or For different class but same name
//button[#name='button' and #class='xyz']
or For different text but same name
//input[#name='button' and contains(text(),'Click Here')]
or for different tags but same name
//button[#name='button']
//input[#name='button']
Just go with any unique property and make a customized xpath.
I hope you can also use java script for this as well for e.g.
WebElement butttonToClick = driver.findElement(By.name("button"));
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[1].click();",butttonToClick );
Where arguments[1] means second element which has same name.

You can go with xpath methods like following-sibling/preceding siblings.
For example if the Button is located to any unique webelement try to identify that webelement first and by using different xpath methods like following-siblings, content, preceding siblings you can access the web element.

Iterating loop on button with same name and same class
List<WebElement> listofItems=
driver.findElements(By.className("actions"));
System.out.println(listofItems);
System.out.println(listofItems.size());
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10));
for (int s=1; s<=listofItems.size(); s++)
{
/*Getting the list of items again so that when the page is
navigated back to, then the list of items will be refreshed
again */
listofItems= driver.findElements(By.className("actions"));
//Waiting for the element to be visible
//Used (s-1) because the list's item start with 0th index, like in
an array
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(listofItems.get(s-1)));
//Clicking on the first element
listofItems.get(s-1).click();
Thread.sleep(2000);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
System.out.print(s + " element clicked\t--");
System.out.println("pass");
driver.navigate().back();
}
