Xpath Correct but still get no such element: Unable to locate element:

[Ashish Srivastava]

My Xpath is correct & no iFrame and I can locate element in Chrome console but my program still fails. I have used explicit wait also.

website http://newtours.demoaut.com/ I am trying to locate login page and send login id.

Error:

PASSED: openURL FAILED: loginToTours **org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException**: **no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//input[@name='userName']"}** *** Element info: {Using=xpath, value=//input[@name='userName']}

Ashish,

I have responded to your query on StackOverFlow.

http://stackoverflow.com/a/39565068/679824

That should resolve your issue. The problem is in your test code.

Thanks & Regards

Change the xpath and then try again

[priy...@ask-cs.com]

Hi Ashish,

My xpath is .//*[@id='9f410057-bfb4-ec00-77f4-a4e4bb9d628c'] 

This is displayed when i try to find it using firebug but not able to run it with this as it gives the 'No such element error'. 

[DarthOpto]

In addition to the other answers, I would definitely consider not looking by id in this instance. If the id is ```.//*[@id='9f410057-bfb4-ec00-77f4-a4e4bb9d628c``` more than likely this ID is dynamic and will change a lot. Best to avoid the headache altogether and find a better selector.  

[Doug Dragon]

It might be easier to use CSS and reference the name attribute instead of using XPATH. In this case, you could do something like this:

'input[name=userName]'

If you must use XPATH, please disregard my answer.

Thanks,

-Doug

Hi Ashish !

The following code should work for you.I have tried the code in the URL specified by you above and its working fine.And please make sure you have latest chrome driver in you system.

WebDriver dr=new ChromeDriver();

dr.get("http://newtours.demoaut.com/");

Thread.sleep(1000);

WebElement username=dr.findElement(By.name("userName"));

username.sendKeys("username");

WebElement password=dr.findElement(By.name("password"));

password.sendKeys("password");

Thread.sleep(1000);

dr.findElement(By.name("login")).click();

hi Ashish,

The above code will work.Alo,I feel that when textbox is being used as a web-element its better to use senkeys method rather than click.

Regards,

Kundana
