I am doing an automation with Selenium Webdriver using Java. I need to click the class name inside the span tag. Example

For this i used xpath to select class="selcteME" and used click(). This works fine if I put break point in debug mode but when I run the script without break point in debug mode object is not selected.

Please share if you have solution or suggest me how can I get the class name inside the span tag

() without xpath

  • Paste a snippet of the html you're having issues – raven Aug 12 '12 at 01:34

    I think the problem is that the element is not loaded yet, you should wait for it. check this out http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11862866/how-can-i-overcome-element-id-exception-in-selenium/11863045#11863045 – Herokiller Aug 13 '12 at 05:25

Have you tried by CSS Selector?

I suggest use some IDE to generate basic test and then use your logic.

    While using CSS selectors and other location techniques is usually preferable to XPath, OP specifically says that the XPath expression works when debugging. This hints to a timing problem, not an XPath-problem. – Petr Janeček Apr 03 '14 at 09:29
