Getting one error as 'javascript error: cannot read property defaultview of undefined '

Question

I am trying to execute one automation script. Getting one error as 'javascript error: cannot read property defaultview of undefined '. I am not able to debugging it. I have tried to get help from google, but not getting any proper solution. The same script was working properly earlier

Could you please help me in this?

Answer 1

this is caused bcz of object not identified with the given object identification method. I also get the same issue when I try to automate the sales force. this is one of the tab (Accounts) that I need to click in slaesforce and I used in previously for identify the object below xpath . somehow it does not work and later I have updated the xpath. after that it worked fine.

<one-app-nav-bar-item-root one-appnavbar_appnavbar="" data-id="Account" data-assistive-id="operationId" aria-hidden="false" draggable="true" class="navItem slds-context-bar__item slds-shrink-none slds-is-active" role="listitem"><a href="/lightning/o/Account/home" title="Accounts" tabindex="0" draggable="false" aria-describedby="operationId-16" class="slds-context-bar__label-action dndItem"><span class="slds-truncate">Accounts</span></a>

previous Xpath : .//a[@title='Accounts']/span

updated Xpath: By.xpath(".//one-app-nav-bar-item-root[@class='navItem slds-context-bar__item slds-shrink-none'][a[span[text()='Accounts']]]")

It looks like somewhere in your script, you are identifying an element which is null and and you are trying to get defaultview  of it.

Can you post exact error stacktrace?
