I'm confused as to why a NoSuchElementException is still being thrown in my Webdriver test?
Is there anyone who can help debug or suggest a more efficient/robust solution?
Note - I encounter the same error if I attempt driver.findElements(By.id("...")).size() != 0
boolean elementPresent;
try{
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".message-bg-color>table>tbody>tr>td>h3"));
elementPresent = true;
}catch (NoSuchElementException e){
elementPresent = false;
}
if(!elementPresent) {
// do some stuff here
}
else
{
//do some other stuff here
}
Stack Trace:
org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":".message-bg-color>table>tbody>tr>td>h3"}
