Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: element not visible

Question

I have a small piece of code:

 

 

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

 

WebElement menuOption = driver.findElement(By.className("icon-user"));

  

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS); 

 

menuOption.click();

 

It does not go beyond the last line   i.e menuOption.click();

 

I get Exception:

 

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: element not visible

Number 1.

make sure that "icon-user" is unique. i mean there is only one element in whole page with class name as "icon-user". If so you will have to wait for element to be visible. Also try using explicit wait / fluent wait. If  your element is not unique, you need to try another approach to identify element.
