Now I am executing a test case but am getting a NoSuchElementException despite not using that element in my test case. Here is my implementation.
This is my page layer
public class NotificationsPage extends BasePage {
private final WebElement datePicker =
driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//input[@aria-label='Password2'])[1]"));
public String textBoxData = "";
public String date1 = "";
public String date2 = "";
private final WebElement notificationTitle = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@class='pmd-list-title']"));
{
textBoxData = datePicker.getAttribute("value");
String[] parts = textBoxData.split("-");
date1 = parts[0].trim();
date2 = parts[1].trim();
}
public String getNotificationTitle()
{
String title = notificationTitle.getText();
return title;
}
}
This is my test case I'm executing
@Test
public void testDateSettings(Map<String, String> map) throws Exception
{
try
{
new LoginPage().clickLoginButton().setUserName(map.get("username")).setPassword(map.get("password")).clickSubmit()
.clickHighlights();
}
catch(ExceptionInInitializerError ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
}
NotificationsPage notificationsPage = new NotificationsPage();
String systemDate = DateTimeUtils.getSystemDate();
System.out.println("System date:: " systemDate);
System.out.println("Date1:: " notificationsPage.date1);
System.out.println("Date2:: " notificationsPage.date2);
Assertions.assertThat(systemDate).isBetween(notificationsPage.date1, notificationsPage.date2);
}
Now as you can see I am nowhere using the element notificationTitle in this particular test case but it is still giving me NoSuchElementException for that WebElement. Here is the stack trace
org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//a[@class='pmd-list-title']"}

Can someone shed some light on where I am making a mistake.
CodePudding user response：
You should not declare like this,
private final WebElement notificationTitle = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@class='pmd-list-title']"));
whenever the class is initializing, driver will start find this element, then resulted as NoSuchElementException
Declare the by and call it whereever you need,
private final By notificationTitleTxt = By.xpath("//a[@class='pmd-list-title']");
call this like on your method,
driver.findElement(notificationTitleTxt).getText();
CodePudding user response：
What I would do here is
Use try-catch
Use findElements
Sample code for findElements
private final List<WebElement> notificationTitle = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//a[@class='pmd-list-title']"));
and in your instance initialize block
public String getNotificationTitle()
{
String title = notificationTitle.get(0).getText();
return title;
}
or why not simply try and catch block ?
try {
private final WebElement notificationTitle =
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@class='pmd-list-title']"));
}
catch(ExceptionInInitializerError ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
