Unable to click a link in IE9

[ARK Satyanarayana Raju]

Hi All,

   I tried to click a link in IE, but it is displaying Unable to find element. Can any one help me.

Windows7- IE9
My code is:


import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;

public class OpenIE {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver","C:\\Users\\Downloads\\IEDriverServer.exe");
        WebDriver driver=new InternetExplorerDriver();
        driver.get("http://www.axisbank.com");
        Thread.sleep(5000);
        System.out.println("website launched successfully ");
        driver.findElement(By.linkText("About Us")).click(); 
        System.out.println("...........................");
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
        //driver.quit();
    }
}


Console:

Try this code for launching the IE browser...you will not get this exception

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
capabilities.set(InternetExplorerDriver.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS,
true); 
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(capabilities);

Hi,

I am also facing this issue even after setting capabilities as mentioned.

can anyone help if you have solution to this.

Thanks,

Sidh

[Mark Collin]

Never use the desired capability suggested below, it will cause problems for you.

If you see anybody telling you to add that capability just ignore their advice, they obviously don’t understand the repercussions of asking you to do that.

Looking at the stack trace the window you are trying to interact with has been closed, are you providing the correct link to InternetExplorerDriver.exe?

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the reply.

My application has login window, once i enter user and password and clicked on login button. It closes login window and opens a new window.

I am not able to switch to new window since parent window is automatically closed and it gives exception

Sleep for a while after you click link at first page.

            Set<String> child =wb.getWindowHandles();
            System.out.println(child);
            int cnt =child.size();
            System.out.println("count " +cnt);
            for (String eachchild:child){
            if (!(eachchild.equals(parent)))
                {
                    System.out.println(eachchild);
                    
                    wb.switchTo().window(eachchild);
                    break;
                }
                         

            }

above codes may not execute correctly, when you call Set<String> child =wb.getWindowHandles();, the second window may not open and you still get the first window, then the switch action does not actually performed, so, you may still in the first page and got NoSuchWindow exception.

Hope it works for you.
