My Wait() method works in 'Chrome' & 'Firefox' but not in 'IE'?

My Wait() method works in 'Chrome' & 'Firefox' but not in 'IE', any ideas?
I have tried using IEDriverServer.exe both the 32bit and the 64bit(Send keys acts slow), but the following method still dosnt click on the intended target.
Please note: I know the locators are fine as listed above works in both Chrome and firefox.
public void waitAndClickFirstDrivingExperiencesOption(WebElement element) throws Exception {
WebDriverWait wait2 = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
Base_Page basePage = new Base_Page(driver);
try {
System.out.println(basePage.browser_type);
Boolean elementPresent = wait2.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(element)).isEnabled();
if (elementPresent == true) {
if (!this.browser_type.equals("firefox")) {
// Provide a slight timeout before clicking on the element
basePage.scrollToElementByLocator(element);
Thread.sleep(1000);
basePage.actionMoveAndClick(element);
} else {
Thread.sleep(500);
basePage.scrollToElementByLocator(element);
Thread.sleep(1000);
element.click();
}
}
System.out.println("Clicked on the first supercars link, using locator: " + element.toString());
} catch (StaleElementReferenceException elementUpdated) {
element = this.driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='prd_listing']/div/li[1]/a"));
Boolean elementPresent = wait2.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(element)).isEnabled();
if (elementPresent == true) {
if (!this.browser_type.equals("firefox")) {
basePage.scrollToElementByLocator(element);
Thread.sleep(1000);
basePage.actionMoveAndClick(element);
} else {
Thread.sleep(500);
basePage.scrollToElementByLocator(element);
Thread.sleep(1000);
element.click();
}
}
System.out.println(
"Clicked on the first supercars link (Stale Exception), using locator: " + element.toString());
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception! - could not click on the first supercars link, Exception: " + e.toString());
throw (e);
} finally {
}

How can I change try catch exception to WebDriverWait

I am trying to login and search records based on date selected from a calendar. I have used try catch exception after each step. I need to replace try catch with WebDriverWait. But the problem is that I have fields on the page which are getting identified by id or XPath. So I am not getting a way out how to implement WebDriverWait instead of try catch. Can anyone help me out? Below is my code structure with details.
public class Login {
public static WebDriver driver;
String username = "username";
String password = "password";
String baseurl = "http://mybusiness.com/login.aspx";
public class Details {
#Test(priority = 0)
public void loginpage() {
//WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","D:\\From H\\Selenium Package\\ChromeDriver\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
capabilities.setCapability("chrome.switches", Arrays.asList("--incognito"));
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--test-type");
options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
capabilities.setCapability("chrome.binary","D:\\From H\\Selenium Package\\ChromeDriver\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get(baseurl);
try {
Thread.sleep(10000); // 1000 milliseconds is one second.
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
}
WebElement username = driver.findElement(By.id("UserName"));
username.sendKeys(username);
try {
Thread.sleep(10000); // 1000 milliseconds is one second.
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
}
WebElement password = driver.findElement(By.id("Password"));
password.sendKeys(password);
try {
Thread.sleep(10000);
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
}
WebElement button = driver.findElement(By.id("ButtonClick"));
button.click();
try {
Thread.sleep(10000);
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
}
}
// Selecting a date from date picker
#Test(priority = 1)
public void RecordSearch() {
WebElement calendar = driver.findElement(By.id("CalendarId"));
calendar.click();
try {
Thread.sleep(5000); // 1000 milliseconds is one second.
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
}
WebElement month = driver.findElement(By.xpath("XPath"));
month.click();
try {
Thread.sleep(5000); // 1000 milliseconds is one second.
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
}
WebElement day = driver.findElement(By.xpath("XPath"));
day.click();
try {
Thread.sleep(5000); // 1000 milliseconds is one second.
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
}
WebElement submit = driver.findElement(By.id("Submit"));
submit.click();
try {
Thread.sleep(10000); // 1000 milliseconds is one second.
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
}
}
driver.close();
}

I would have thought you'd be better off adding an implicit wait, e.g. once you've setup your driver object add the following line:
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

A simple example would take your code
try
{
Thread.sleep(10000); // 1000 milliseconds is one second.
}
catch (InterruptedException ex)
{
Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
}
WebElement username = driver.findElement(By.id("UserName"));
username.sendKeys(username);
and change it to
String username = "username123";
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10); // 10 seconds
WebElement usernameField = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("UserName")));
usernameField.sendKeys(username);
Once you have defined wait, you can reuse it over and over and it will have the same attributes, e.g. 10 sec wait time.
String password = "abc123";
WebElement passwordField = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("Password")));
passwordField.sendKeys(password);
NOTE: I noticed that you were using username.sendKeys(username);. I'm assuming/hoping this isn't actual code since .sendKeys() takes a String and you have username defined as a WebElement. I fixed it in my code and named the two differently.

There is WebDriverWait functionality in selenium, you can set explicit wait. You are using selenium webdriver, then it is far better to use WebDriverWait for waiting purpose to element. follow below code
protected WebElement waitForPresent(final String locator, long timeout) {
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, timeout);
WebElement ele = null;
try {
ele = wait.until(ExpectedConditions
.presenceOfElementLocated(locator));
} catch (Exception e) {
throw e;
}
return ele;
}
protected WebElement waitForNotPresent(final String locator, long timeout) {
timeout = timeout * 1000;
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
WebElement ele = null;
while ((System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime) < timeout) {
try {
ele = findElement(locator);
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (Exception e) {
break;
}
}
return ele;
}
Whenever you require wait for element present, call waitForPresent method with expected parameters.

If you explore little, you can find different types of WebDriverWait. One of the most common is WebDriver.wait(timeinmilliseconds).
and for example, others are,
webDriver.waituntil (Expectedconditions)...
wait.until(new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>() {
#Override
public Boolean apply(WebDriver driver) {
WebElement button = driver.findElement(By.className("sel"));
String enabled = button.getText();
return enabled.contains(city);
}
});
or for example
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfAllElementsLocatedBy(By.id("froexample_username_txtbox")));
PS : define private final WebDriverWait wait;
It may be more useful if you are not sure about implict timewait value.(be being specific about events and results)

Selenium Java Find the item until the page is loaded

I have code something like this
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get(something URL);
WebDriverWait waiting = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10, 1000);
WebElement element = waiting.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.id(my_id)));//problem is here
But then i try to find element on my page, WebDriverWait waiting until the page has completely loaded and then starts searching.
If I'm trying something like this
WebDriverWait waiting = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10, 2700);
driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
WebElement element;
try {
driver.get(something_url);
} catch (TimeoutException e) {
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("window.stop();");
}finally {
element = waiting.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.id(my_id)));
}
It works, but if I go on like this
element.click();//go to another page
On this line doesn't throw a timeout exception, I have to wait for the full page load.
How to be in this situation ?

Solution is to wait for ajax refresh to complete on this page:
public void waitForAjaxRefresh() {
System.out.println("Waiting for Ajax Refresh");
try {
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,35);
final JavascriptExecutor javascript = (JavascriptExecutor) (driver instanceof JavascriptExecutor ? driver
: null);
wait.until(new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>() {
#Override
public Boolean apply(WebDriver d) {
boolean outcome = Boolean.parseBoolean(javascript
.executeScript("return jQuery.active == 0")
.toString());
return outcome;
}
});
} catch (TimeoutException ex) {
throw new TimeoutException("Timed out after "
+ 35
+ " seconds while waiting for Ajax to complete.");
} catch (WebDriverException e) {
System.out.println("JQuery libraries are not present on page "
+ driver.getCurrentUrl() + " - "
+ driver.getTitle());
}
}

Issue facing in Selenium handling multiple window

I have written the below script where first i will click on FACEBOOK Sign in button then the pop up for FACEBOOK login page will open in a separate window.I am entering the id and password. But my issue is when i am clicking on the login button then that window will disappear and my parent window URL will change. How to handle the changed URL. I need to perform some operation on that. I am aware that i can move to parent window,but the issue is when i click on login the URL changes
private void facebookSignIn(){
WebElement element=null;
try{
element = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='signin_facebook_button']/div[2]"));
String mwh=driver.getWindowHandle();
element.click();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(3, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
Set<String> set=driver.getWindowHandles();
Iterator<String> iterator=set.iterator();
while(iterator.hasNext())
{
String popupHandle=iterator.next().toString();
if(!popupHandle.contains(mwh))
{
driver.switchTo().window(popupHandle);
element = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='email']"));
element.sendKeys(account);
element = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='pass']"));
element.sendKeys(password);
element = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='u_0_2']"));
countDownLatch.countDown();
countDownLatch.await();
element.click();
System.out.println("Click Done");
//driver.switchTo().window(mwh);
}
}
start = System.currentTimeMillis();
counter++;
if(counter==1)
{
startTime=System.currentTimeMillis();
}
#SuppressWarnings("unused")
WebElement sso_logout = (new WebDriverWait(driver,30)).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("sso_logout")));
end = System.currentTimeMillis();
endTime=System.currentTimeMillis();
try{
element = driver.findElement(By.id("sso_logout"));
element.click();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Exception from SSO_Logout");
}
double temp=(double)(end-start)/1000;
latencyMap.put(Thread.currentThread().getName(),temp) ;
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName()+"-->Done");
}
catch(Exception e){
countDownLatch.countDown();
totalNumberOfUsers--;
System.out.println(account);
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}

WindowHandle is not based on url, so it shouldn't effect you. If you need to switch back do something like that:
String parentHandle = driver.getWindowHandle();
// switch to the new window
for (String winHandle : driver.getWindowHandles()) {
if (!winHandle.equals(parentHandle))
{
driver.switchTo().window(winHandle);
}
}
//do something with the new window
element = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='email']"));
element.sendKeys(account);
element = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='pass']"));
element.sendKeys(password);
element = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='u_0_2']"));
countDownLatch.countDown();
countDownLatch.await();
element.click();
System.out.println("Click Done");
// switch back to the old window
driver.switchTo().window(parentHandle);
// if the new window is closed by its on
driver.switchTo().window(driver.getWindowHandle());
WindowHandle example:
"CDwindow-0D7BB6F6-A7E0-4DCE-B4D0-F202E85D982D"

ElementNotVisibleException error

I'm trying to expand all comments, replies, see more in comment, and see more in post in Facebook.
1) The codes I have written below allows me to expand all contents that I want except for maybe a few replies in a post even though I have put the repliesbutton in a loop.
2) There will a Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: Element is not currently visible and so may not be interacted with error at the .click() if there is no try-catch in all the smaller for loops.
//declare WebDriverWait variable, times out after 20 seconds

//check element is present on the DOM of a page and visible

List<WebElement> comments = dr.findElements(By.className("commentable_item")); //get the comments
//iterate through the comments
for (WebElement comment : comments) {
boolean clickMore = true;
try {
while(clickMore == true) {

You can create a utility method and put it in some 'Utility.java' class something like below:
public void click(WebElement element)
{
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element);
Thread.sleep(500);
if(element.isDisplayed())
element.click();
}
Usage:
WebElement element=driver.findElement(//Locator);
Utility.click(element);
This will ensure every time before you click the element is scrolledIntoView.
Let me know if you need further help on this.
