I have gone through the calendar locator and i can see two matches for every locator inside the calendar. I believe you are trying to click the first one and its a hidden one so you are getting the WebDriverException: unknown error.

you can try the below two locators and i believe this will help you.

1. (//div[@class='xdsoft_monthpicker']//button[@class='xdsoft_prev'])[2]

You can also identify the locator by using current month like this

2.(//span[text()='February']/parent::div/parent::div/button[@class='xdsoft_prev'])[2]

Here i am identifying the previous month element by using the 'February' text and i order to use it you have replace the 'February' with the current month to identify the previous month.

You can use this locator also and you may need to change the value based on month.You have to click on the month dropdown first.
```
(//div[contains(@class,'monthselect xdsoft_scroller_box')]//div[@class='xdsoft_option ' and text()='March'])[2]
```

But i tried my best to frame locator without using index but no luck.

If the count value is changing on each click and every time you need to select last item , then try like this.

public void clickPreviousMonth() {
        Thread.sleep(30000);
        List<WebElement> previuosMonthElements = context.getDriver().findElements(By.xpath("//div[@class='xdsoft_monthpicker']//button[@class='xdsoft_prev']"));
        int index = previuosMonthElements.size();
        String modifiedXpath = "(//div[@class='xdsoft_monthpicker']//button[@class='xdsoft_prev']["+index+"])";
        Thread.sleep(30000);
        context.getDriver().findElement(By.xpath(modifiedXpath)).click();
    }

*I have used the sleep directly , you can try with fluentwait

Hope this will help you.

Thanks for your reply . I have checked with all above options but my issue not resolved and i am getting same error org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: Element

Can you please suggest me is there any way to scroll month drop down till top position . Because if we will scroll up to maximum then this will work. — Tarun Dabbs, Feb 15 '18 at 10:37
As per my execution or client requirement we need to read month name from excel sheet . Suppose Currently April month is running and client send January in excel sheet and in this condition above code will not work because as per above code we are selecting last previous month . Can you please send me a solution like if any month is running and we can easily select any month from past month — Tarun Dabbs, Feb 15 '18 at 12:47
