Element not found exception while executing the script

[Shweta Choubey]

Hi All,

I have been automating one CRM application, where I have found correct Xpath, and when I am using this Xpath in the script it shows element not found exception. There is no frame in the application and I have applied the wait statement as well, but still the same exception. Could anyone please help me with this.

[Radhika Joshi]

What is the code?

Have you tried using webdriverwait?

(Wait for element to be visible ) or even thread.sleep?

Regards

yes Radhika, here is my code

public void createNewCompany(String company_name) throws InterruptedException

{

WebDriverWait wait1 = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);

  wait1.until(

  ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated((By.xpath(".//button[text()='New']"))));

newCompanyBtn.click();

//****************

  WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 50);

  wait.until(

  ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated((By.xpath("//div[@class='ui right corner labeled input']//input[@name='name']"))));

  

 

//*************************************

nameOfCompany.sendKeys(company_name);

saveBtn.click();

}

And here is the DOM:

Welcome to Selenium, land of endless disappointment and frustration. 

Without seeing the application we can't *really* help, but if you're consistently getting this error than you have not found the correct Xpath. You might want to try css selectors to see if you can get any further. Also see if you can locate elements near the one you are interested in, you might discover another approach. 

Is there anything notable about this particular element behavior, i.e. does it only appear in response to another action? 

Good luck. 

[Joel]

Just looked at your code snippet. Where is the definition of nameOfCompany element? 

[D Sandeep]

There is not button with text ='New'..

On which line are you having the issue

Hi Joel,

Following is the site which I am trying to automate "https://ui.cogmento.com/" when you log in to this site, it had the option of creating a new company. Another point is that when running in debug mode the same script is giving proper results. Don't know what is the problem when the actual script is running.

Had a quick look, I as able to locate in console with $("[placeholder][name]") so you might want to try something along those lines. Also, the element doesn't exist until after you click the New button, so make sure you create nameOfCompany after the new company page is displayed.
