NoSuchElementException comes often even if the element exists.

[navpreet singh]

I have observed that sometimes, Selenium is not able to find the element even after it is displayed on the webpage. The same case when run multiple times shows different results i.e. Sometimes the element is found and execution for further scenarios works fine but some times , NoSuchElementFoundException comes and the test cases fails. How can we deal with such inconsistency of the behavior observed.

You should use something like this to continuously interact with the element but make sure the element exist.
