Question

I am running the following code 

driver.get("http://www.google.com");

driver.findElement(By.id("lst-ib")).sendKeys("Selenium");

driver.findElement(By.name("btnK")).click();

 

I am getting NoSuchElement Exception. how can I solve it. 

Answer 1

Try adding explicitWait.

 

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,1000);

driver.get("http://www.google.com");

wait.unitl(ExpectedCondition.elementToBeClickable(By.id("lst-ib")));

driver.findElement(By.id("lst-ib")).sendKeys("Selenium");

driver.findElement(By.name("btnK")).click();

 

Try webdriver wait and let me know.

 

If above does not work, you can even try using name.

 

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,1000);

driver.get("http://www.google.com");

wait.unitl(ExpectedCondition.elementToBeClickable(By.name("q")));

driver.findElement(By.name("q")).sendKeys("Selenium");

driver.findElement(By.name("btnK")).click();

 

Hope that helps!
