Receiving "org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException" regardless of using Fluent or Expli-CodePudding

I have tried using both Explicit and Fluent wait and could not make it work and still received NoSuchElementException. I want to mention that the element was found when using Thread.sleep and waits right after.

URL: https://vegas.netbet.com/help/ Hovering over "My Account" then clicking on FAQ > Then clicking on point 5, though I believe clicking on any of them will return NoSuchElementException.

This is the HTML

<a ng-click="helpService.toggleAnswer(qa.id)" role="button"  aria-expanded="false" data-toggle="dropdown">
                    <p >"Placeholder Text</p>
                    <div >
                        <span ></span>
                        <span ></span>
                    </div>
                </a>

Fluent Wait:

FluentWait<WebDriver> fWait = new FluentWait<>(getWebDriver())
            .withTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(10))
            .pollingEvery(Duration.ofMillis(500))
            .ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class); // org.openqa.selenium

Explicit Wait:

WebDriverWait wait = (WebDriverWait) new WebDriverWait(getWebDriver(), Duration.ofSeconds(15))
                .ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class);

So far I have tried most of of the things from ExpectedConditions.

Also, the waits do not seem to ignore the NoSuchElementException as it's still displayed

CodePudding user response：

You can try the below code:

driver.get("https://vegas.netbet.com/help/my-account/faqs");
Thread.sleep(1000);
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10));
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfAllElementsLocatedBy(By.xpath(".//p[@class='title grTextRed']")));

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
        
// to scroll the page to view the specific question
int question_num_to_click = 5;
if (question_num_to_click != 1) {
    WebElement scroll_to_ele = driver.findElement(By.xpath("(.//p[@class='title grTextRed'])["   (question_num_to_click - 1)   "]"));
    js.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true)", scroll_to_ele);
}
Thread.sleep(1000);
        
// clicking on the specific question
WebElement question_to_click = driver.findElement(By.xpath("(.//p[@class='title grTextRed'])["   question_num_to_click   "]"));
js.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", question_to_click);
