Question

How can I verify if element is present or not in Selenium 2

Answer 1

You may want to try something like this.

 

private enum ElementStatus{

VISIBLE,

NOTVISIBLE,

ENABLED,

NOTENABLED,

PRESENT,

NOTPRESENT

}

private ElementStatus isElementVisible(WebDriver driver, By by,ElementStatus getStatus){

try{

if(getStatus.equals(ElementStatus.ENABLED)){

if(driver.findElement(by).isEnabled())

return ElementStatus.ENABLED;

return ElementStatus.NOTENABLED; 

}

if(getStatus.equals(ElementStatus.VISIBLE)){

if(driver.findElement(by).isDisplayed())

return ElementStatus.VISIBLE;

return ElementStatus.NOTVISIBLE;

}

return ElementStatus.PRESENT;

}catch(org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException nse){

return ElementStatus.NOTPRESENT;

}

}
