Currently, I am utilizing selenium ide for automating my tests. Once I click on a link, a popup window appears with a div containing text. Strangely, I am unable to retrieve the text within the div tag without either double-clicking on it or executing the command individually. Various attempts have been made to address this issue but none of them have proved successful:
Waiting for up to 1 minute; Continuously waiting for the element to appear even after 1 minute has passed, but without success; Attempting to identify the popup window by its title, however, it is failing to acknowledge the window.
Interestingly, waitForPopup is functioning properly, yet the element within the popup remains elusive.
Below is a glimpse of my code
<tr>
<!-- This step is successful -->
<td>waitForElementPresent</td>
<td>//a[@id='linkTopopup']</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<!-- This step is successful -->
<td>pause</td>
<td>1000</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<!-- This step is successful -->
<td>click</td>
<td>//a[@id='linkTopopup']</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<!-- This step is successful -->
<td>waitForPopUp</td>
<td></td>
<td>30000</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>waitForElementPresent</td>
<td>//div[@id='divHavingText']</td><!-- struggling to find the
element here -->
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>storeText</td>
<td>//div[@id='divHavingText']</td><!-- struggling to find the element here -->
<td>myText</td>
</tr>
<div id='divHavingText'>
hi
</div>
Any insights into why the element cannot be found unless double-clicked and not when the entire test case is run automatically?
