I am trying to use the explicit locator strategy in the Selenium Robot library to find an element:

Click Element    xpath://*[@id="sidebar-nav"]

I can locate the element using this xpath on the web console, but when I run my Robot test I'm getting an element not found error. I haven't been able to locate it using css either. What am I doing wrong?

  • These type of issue usually occurs when an ID or class is added dynamically after a delay, making it unavailable in the DOM when Selenium initially checks for it. Did you check if this is the case? – Jyoti Ahluwalia Commented Mar 18 at 18:39
  • 1 It's usually one of two things: 1. You need to wait for the element, 2. The element is in an IFRAME or shadow-dom. – JeffC Commented Mar 18 at 18:42
  • @JyotiAhluwalia that doesn't seem to be the issue but I hadn't checked for it before you mentioned it, so thank you – Jat Commented Mar 18 at 19:31
  • @JeffC I know it's not an IFRAME or shadow-dom, so I did try extending the wait time longer to 8s, which worked. When I run the test manually the element becomes clickable in -3s, so now I need to figure out why it's so slow which is a whole other issue. Thanks! – Jat Commented Mar 18 at 19:37

Reset to default 1

It's usually one of two things:

  1. You need to wait for the element
  2. The element is in an IFRAME or shadow-dom

If you need to add waits, use things like

  1. Wait Until Element Is Visible
  2. Wait Until Element Is Not Visible
  3. Wait Until Page Contains Element
  4. Wait Until Page Does Not Contain Element
