I'm still a beginner when it comes to using Selenium WebDriver, but I've managed to write a couple of JUnit tests with it. However, now that I'm on my third test, I'm facing an issue where a specific element cannot be located. The error message "NoSuchElementException" keeps popping up from Selenium. I've dedicated hours to trying out various solutions (see below).
To provide context, the product I'm testing interacts with a third-party product – Google Cloud Storage, to be precise. The problematic page is actually created by Google, so I have no way of confirming if frames were utilized since I can't communicate with the developer and the HTML itself doesn't reveal much. There's a gray area named 'framebuster code,' indicating the potential existence of frames (see below).
Although I attempted to pinpoint the presence of an iframe by employing "driver.switchTo().frame(0);", my efforts proved futile.
Furthermore, the element I'm attempting to locate seems to become temporarily unavailable when the page loads. Even after incorporating an implicit wait – "
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);If anyone has suggestions about what I might be doing wrong or additional recommendations to explore, please share your insights. I refuse to let this obstacle defeat me. :-)
Listed below are all the options I experimented with. Notably, the initial choice functioned correctly in the IDE environment but failed when executed through WebDriver.
`driver.findElement(By.id("submit_approve_access")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//a[contains(text(),'Accept')])")).click();
driver.findElement(By.name("submit_access")).click();
driver.findElement(By.className("goog-buttonset-action")).click();
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[name=submit_name]")).click();
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a[class='goog-buttonset-action']")).click();
driver.findElement(By.linkText(“Accept”)).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@class='goog-buttonset-action']")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[text() = ‘Accept]”)).click();
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("button[type='submit']")).click();
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("button[tabindex='1']")).click();`
The following snippet presents the relevant HTML markup picked from the page (please note: the symbol * denotes the target element in question. I also made attempts on some of the hidden elements preceding it):
