unable to identify the Xpath for the signout in gmail.

[dvramana]

Hello All,

I'm Facing a problem for the signout session in gmail.The thing is
that i have used Xpath for the signout and tool is unable to identify
the xpath during the execution.

Could any one help me in solving this issue and please look at the
code below for reference

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverBackedSelenium;
import org.openqa.selenium.android.AndroidDriver;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.Selenium;

public class mobile {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception

{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

String baseUrl = "http://gmail.com";
AndroidDriver driver = new AndroidDriver();
Selenium selenium = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver, baseUrl);
selenium.open("http://gmail.com");
Thread.sleep(1000);
driver.findElement(By.id("Email")).sendKeys("xxxxx");
Thread.sleep(1000);

driver.findElement(By.id("Passwd")).sendKeys("12345");
Thread.sleep(8000);

driver.findElement(By.name("signIn")).click();
Thread.sleep(80000);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id='tltbt']/div/div/
div")).click();

Here from the above the tool is unable to find the Xpath showing the
error as

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException:
Could not find element with xpath: //div[@id='tltbt']/div/div/div

If the "@id" is changing, XPath will fail. If that is the case, use -
("//*[contains(@id,'titb')]")

Gmail is riddled with frames, it's probably hidden in its own frame you need
to switchTo()

Hi BS,

 

i have tried using the ("//*[contains(@id,'titb')]") but again it is throwing the error as

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Error: {"message":"Unable to locate an element with the xpath expression \/\/*contains[@id='titb']\/div\/div\/div because of the following error:\nError: INVALID_EXPRESSION_ERR: DOM XPath Exception 51"}

Hello collin,

 

I'm new to the selenium,

 

i will be very thankfull to you if you can elobrate the solution for this.

[Mark Collin]

Look ath the HTML source for Gmail and see if the element you are looking for is inside either an iFrame or a Frame.  If it is you need to switch to the frame before you will be able to access the element that you are trying to click on.  The WebDriver way to switch frames is:

 

WebElement myFrame = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//iframe"));

driver.switchTo().frame(myFrame);

Hello Collin,

Thanks for the reply.

i have tried to get the iframe from the page sourse,but to my badluck it is not availabe.

Any other workaround for this?

[Mark Collin]

Yes it is, you need to look at the page source for the default page:

 

//iframe[@id='canvas_frame']

 

Gmail is not a good place to start leaning selenium it has some very complicated and convoluted HTML and is very hard to keep track of.  You need a very good understanding of HTML and locator strategies to be able to automate it.

 

I would suggest starting on something a little less complex.

Hello mark,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

Ss you said in the below mail to use the one which is less complicated, so  i have tried on mail.in.com site rather than gmail.and here i could able to run the tests using Xpath.

 

Cheers
