Selenium in Java: No such element error since web page is not loaded yet

I'm trying to do automation on Amazon. After I search "laptop" on Amazon, I try to select "Apple" brand but I recieve no such element error. When I inspect the element manually, I see it is located like this:
<span class="a-size-base a-color-base">Apple</span>
My xpath: //span[class='a-size-base a-color-base' and text()='Apple'][1]
I want to select this element:
But when I debug before clicking for brand, I see this:
I see the webpage is not loaded fully yet. But I added explicit wait in my code.
Here is my code:
import static driver.DriverFactory.getDriver;
public class SearchItem {
private WebDriver driver = getDriver();
private WebDriverWait waiter() {
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10));
return wait;
}
#Given("I am on amazon.com")
public void i_am_on_the_amazon_com() {
driver.get("https://www.amazon.com/");
}
#When("I search {string}")
public void i_search(String item) {
driver.findElement(By.id("twotabsearchtextbox")).sendKeys(item);
driver.findElement(By.id("nav-search-submit-button")).click();
}
#And("I select Apple brand")
public void i_select_Apple_brand() {
waiter().until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//span[class='a-size-base a-color-base' and text()='Apple'][1]"))).click();
}

This is happening because classes are separated by space. And you give it two classes. You need to give it only one in that syntax of xpath. (By the way, why not use css selector and give multiple classes).
//span[#class='a-size-base' and text()='Apple'][1]

Not able to locate an element within the IFrame (Selenium)

So i have create successful test of adding a card to my profile and now i would like ot verify if card was added so i would like to check if "Your card was successfully added" text appeared, however for some kind of a reason the className not located.
This is an iframe however i do enter it to add the card details and submit them, so trying to understand why it cant locate the follow:
Adding card
public void addCard(Card card) {
switchToCardIframe()
.fillInCardNumber(card.getCardNumber())
.fillInCardHolder(card.getCardHolderName())
.fillInExpiryDate(card.getExpiryDate())
.fillInCvv(card.getCvv())
.clickOnToggle()
.clickOnAddButton();
}
This is how i locate the text
#FindBy(css = "payment-state-message")
private WebElement cardAddedIndicator;
Test
#Test
public void shouldSuccessfullyAddCard() {
myCards.addCard(cardData());
assertTrue(myCards.getCardAddedIndicator().isDisplayed());
}
I have also tried to check if another element displayed by escaping the iframe but no luck so any help appreciated
driver.switchTo().defaultContent()
I have also attempted Thread.sleep() for 10 seconds before taking getting the text from the css locater but not luck
Here is the base page where wait initialized
public class BasePage {
public WebDriver driver;
protected Wait wait;
public BasePage(WebDriver driver) {
initializePage(driver);
this.wait = new Wait(driver);
}
final protected void initializePage(WebDriver driver) {
this.driver = driver;
PageFactory.initElements(new AjaxElementLocatorFactory(driver, 20), this);
}
}

Your css is wrong, so instead of
#FindBy(css = "payment-state-message")
private WebElement cardAddedIndicator;
try this
#FindBy(css = ".payment-state-message")
private WebElement cardAddedIndicator;
also do not check for visibility by .isDisplay
rather have a text method called on it. Put some delay/wait as well.
String actualMessage = myCards.getCardAddedIndicator().getText();
String expectedMessage = "Your card was successfully added"
then assert these two based on their actual and expected behavior .

Conclusion :
When there is an iframe form and you submit it, it does not mean that its still the same iframe. In my case when I submitted the form then iframe disappeared however in order for for the element to be located I had to perform driver().switch().parentFrame()
FYI: First always check your locators and make sure they are right.

Selenium+Java - Unable to find WebElements in page

I'm doing some automation bits for work and right now I'm trying to automate a purchase through our storefront that should go to the paypal sandbox and complete the purchase. Everything looks good and I know the general flow works but I'm having trouble finding the webElements when I get to the first PayPal page.
The PayPal side of the flow consists of 2 pages. One to input the login information and another one to confirm the purchase. The second page works perfectly but the first one always gives me "Unable to find element" when I tell it to look for the email/password field and the login button. If make the driver print out the current URL for debugging purposes it correctly prints the payPal URL so it is looking at the right site. I also tried putting a 30 seconds delay to make sure it wasn't a timing issue and I get the same problem.
Here's the class file in question:
public class PayPalLoginPage extends AbstractPaymentPage {
//AbstractPaymentPage extends from AbrstractPageObject
private WebElement email; //Element ID is email
private WebElement password; //Element ID is password
#FindBy(id = "btnLogin")
private WebElement loginButton;
public PayPalLoginPage(WebDriver driver) {
super(driver);
PageFactory.initElements(driver, this);
}
public PayPalPurchaseConfirmationPage login (PayPalInfo payPalInfo) {
email.sendKeys(payPalInfo.getEmail());
password.sendKeys(payPalInfo.getPassword());
loginButton.click();
this.waitForPayPalLoadingCurtainToDisappear();
return new PayPalPurchaseConfirmationPage(this.getDriver());
}
The way I'm calling this class is like this:
case PAYPAL_PURCHASE:
setDriver(new PayPalLoginPage(getDriver()).login(getPaymentMethod()).confirmPayPalPurchase());
break;
So, the flow works perfectly up until it gets to the first payPal page and it just stops saying it can't find any of those 3 elements. If I set it to just wait there and manually fill up the information then it picks right up on the next page and works from them on (finding all the elements on the 2nd payPal page and acting on them).
I get the same behavior if I put the findElement.By line inside the login method and also the same result regardless of whether I'm trying to find them using id, name, xpath or css.
Any idea on what I could be missing?.

You are just defining the email and followings as WebElement but not assigning them to any webelement. See the following:
private WebElement email = driver.findElement(By.id("email_text_box_id"));
private WebElement password = driver.findElement(By.id("password_text_box_id"));
private WebElement loginbutton = driver.findElement(By.id("login_button_id"));
if you want PageObject to assign WebElements then you need to call the initElement inside of a case:
public class PayPalLoginPage extends AbstractPaymentPage {
//AbstractPaymentPage extends from AbrstractPageObject
private WebElement email; //Element ID is email
private WebElement password; //Element ID is password
#FindBy(id = "btnLogin")
private WebElement loginButton;
public PayPalPurchaseConfirmationPage login (PayPalInfo payPalInfo) {
email.sendKeys(payPalInfo.getEmail());
password.sendKeys(payPalInfo.getPassword());
loginButton.click();
this.waitForPayPalLoadingCurtainToDisappear();
return new PayPalPurchaseConfirmationPage(this.getDriver());
}
}
Call the PayPal login function:
public class UsingPayPalLoginPage {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a new instance of a driver
WebDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
// Create a new instance of the PayPall page
// and initialise any WebElement fields in it.
PayPalLoginPage page = PageFactory.initElements(driver, PayPalLoginPage.class);
// call login of paypal.
page.login(payPalInfo);
}
}

Selenium Webdriver, Javascript link, Unable to locale Element

Hi I am facing this issue, Below is a code which i had generated using Selenium IDE, Basically i am trying to access a career portal of the particular website below and for the Jobposting QA specialist, I was experimenting to auto complete the application using Selenium.
1) I am not able to replicate the code working in webdriver despite adding the code under proper class and importing all the necessary packages.
2) On running it as a TestNG test, i have a failure showing Unable to find Element.
3) The link to the QA specialist is not being detected by the driver either if i give it as identify By.link text or By.xpath.
4) please guide me where i am making mistake.
5) I am a beginer to Selenium
public class Application {
private WebDriver driver;
private String baseUrl;
private boolean acceptNextAlert = true;
private StringBuffer verificationErrors = new StringBuffer();
#Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
baseUrl = "http://www.saymedia.com/";
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
#Test
public void testApplication() throws Exception {
driver.get(baseUrl + "/jobs");
driver.findElement(By.linkText("QA Specialist")).click();
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Apply Now")).click();
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Send Application")).click();
}

Your elements are inside of an iframe. Selenium only interacts with elements in the current frame. Any element within a child frame cannot be interacted with until you switch into that frame. You can switch by using switchTo().frame():
driver.get(baseUrl + "/jobs");
driver.switchTo().frame("jobviteframe");
driver.findElement(By.linkText("QA Specialist")).click();
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Apply Now")).click();
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Send Application")).click();
The arguments for frame() are
number from 0
id of the frame
the webelement rerference of the frame
When done in the iframe, use the following to exit back to the top of the document:
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();

How to verify a page title using WebDriver and page object?

I am trying to write a method to verify page title using page objects but I am unable to do it. Could you please help me out how to write a method to verify page title after searching something in the google page.
Here is my 2 classes.
Class 1
public class GoogleSearchPage {
protected WebDriver driver;
#FindBy(name="q")
private WebElement SearchBox;
#FindBy(name="btnG")
private WebElement SearchButton;
public void SearchFor(String SearchTerm)
{
SearchBox.sendKeys(SearchTerm);
SearchButton.click();
}
}
Class2
public class TestSearchResults {
WebDriver driver;
GoogleSearchPage page;
#BeforeClass
public void Launch() throws Exception
{
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://google.com");
}
#AfterClass
public void Close()
{
driver.quit();
}
#Test
public void ResultPage() {
System.out.println(page);
page=PageFactory.initElements(driver, GoogleSearchPage.class);
page.SearchFor("selenium");
}
}
Could you please help how to verify the title after displaying the Search results
Note: I am using TestNG.
Thanks in Advance,
Shiva Oleti.

Try this:
assertEquals("Your Page Title" , driver.getTitle());
driver.getTitle() - Returns Title of your current page.

You can get & verify title of page using python webdriver. See below codes
driver.title('title name')
assert 'title name' in driver.title('title name')
It will verify the title name. if it is there title name test case pass else through assert error.

Create a constructor in each page object. The constructor:
sets the instance driver value
waits for page load to complete (e.g. loading spinner not visible, jQuery.active == 0, document.readyState == 'complete')
verifies the page title (see other answers)
Issue PageFactory.initElement(driver, this);
Therefore you don't need a separate method to verify title. In each step you will have a new YourPageObjectPage() which checks the title automatically. Think DRY.
