Table element not found

[Carlos Ramos]

Hello . I am having problems locating a table element.

Error al contar los avisos: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//table[@id='lstAvisos']"}

My Html es .

   <div id="lstAvisos_shell">
                            <div class="table-responsive">
                                <script class="tabla-izfe-js"
                                    src="https://www9desa.sare.gipuzkoa.net/estaticos/baibot/js/plugins/wfi/tabla-baibot_1-8-5.min.js"></script>
                                <table id="lstAvisos"
                                    class="table table-bordered table-striped table-hover dataTable"
                                    style="margin-bottom: 1rem;" data-izfe-table="NONE"
                                    data-izfe-table-configured="true">
                                    <colgroup>
                                        <col style="width: 2%" hidden="">
                                        <col>
                                        <col>

And I have the POM page in Java, I have it like this

public class InicioPage extends BasePage {


By tabla_avisos = By.xpath("//table[@id='lstAvisos']");


public InicioPage(WebDriver driver) {
super(driver);
}

public int contarAvisos() {
        try {
            WebElement avisosTabla = this.driver.findElement(tabla_avisos);
            List<WebElement> filas = avisosTabla.findElements(By.tagName("//tr"));
           
            System.out.println("El webelement es :" + avisosTabla.getAttribute("outerHTML"));
             
           
           
            System.out.println("El número de filas es: " + filas.size());
            return filas.size();

thank you

hola, que tal ??

can you provide more HTML code so we can try ??
however, you can try to find element by id (and not by xpath)

Un saludo

I don't see any kind of wait in your page object to determine if the page is finished loading.

Also, you are almost certainly going to have problems with this statement:

avisosTabla.findElements(By.tagName("//tr"));

As per documentation:

When using xpath be aware that webdriver follows standard conventions: a search prefixed with "//" will search the entire document, not just the children of this current node. Use ".//" to limit your search to the children of this WebElement.
