Cannot find element(button)

[baghzaad...@nextgen.net]

Hi,

Selenium throws error Error: script-exception: "org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: Element is not currently visible and so may not be interacted with" (line: 74). 

Element is visible for all the obvious responses out there.....

Below are the details.

Selenium Script - selenium.click("css=button.btn.btn-primary");

HTML code via Inspect element

<button class="btn btn-primary" data-dismiss="modal" ng-click="saveChanges()">

    Save Changes

</button>

Selenium IDE 

Command - click

Target - css=#addressEditor > div.modal-footer.ng-scope > button.btn.btn-primary

XPATH  -  id('addressEditor')/x:div[3]/x:button[3]

Thanks,

Baghzaad

Perhaps there is a preceeding element which also matches your search criteria and which is invisible?

If you are using below command in for loop or any loop then you need to again fetch the webelement inside the loop once again this is because by clicking on button first time , it refresh the page thus you required to again fetch the webelement.

selenium.click("css=button.btn.btn-primary");

I would check the page first to see if the element is visible and can be interacted with.

Go to the page in question. Open up console (Chrome and Firefox both have one). Enter the following:

$$("button.btn.btn-primary")

This will locate the css element. If the console is able to find the element, Selenium should too. 

I hope that helps,

Correction:

$$("button.btn btn-primary")

If that doesn't work you could also try:

$$("button.btn-primary")

Hi Doug,

$$("button.btn-primary") works on console but selenium still cant find it. could  data-dismiss="modal" be the issue here... if so then how do i go about solving this.

Thanks,

Hi All,

Issue is now fixed.....

selenium.click("//div[@id='addressEditor']/div[3]/button[3]");

Cheers,
