Selenium Webdriver wait Expected condition failed: waiting for visibility of element located by By.id

Question

I am trying to put selenium web driver wait, but always I am getting an exception "

org.openqa.selenium.TimeoutException: Expected condition failed: waiting for visibility of element located by By.id: mobileNo (tried for 20 second(s) with 100 milliseconds interval)".

I increased seconds to 100, then also getting the same problem, my id is correct.

    WebDriver d = new ChromeDriver();
    d.get("http://myurlOne");
    WebElement username = d.findElement(By.id("username_id"));          
    username.sendKeys("123");
    WebElement password = d.findElement(By.id("password_id"));
    password.sendKeys("123");
    d.findElement(By.id("loginButton")).click();
    System.out.println("logged in successfully");
    d.get("http://navigatedurl");
    JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)d;  
    System.out.println("navigated to new page"); 
    WebDriverWait wait__mob = new WebDriverWait(d, 20);
    try {
        System.out.println("Start"+new Date());
        wait__mob .pollingEvery(100,TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("mobileNo")));
        d.findElement(By.id("mobileNo")).sendKeys("99999999999);
    } catch (TimeoutException e) {
        // TODO: handle exception
        System.out.println(e.toString());
    }

Div code:

 <div class="form-group">
   <label class="col-xs-5 control-label" for="mobileNo">Mobile No.</label>
     <div class="col-xs-6 leftpadding-none">
        <input type="tel" class="form-control k-input" id="mobileNo" 
       name="inputmobileNo" placeholder="" maxlength="10"> <!--required 
       pattern="\d{10}" validationMessage="Mobile No. is Required"-->
  </div>

What is the html of the page ? Is it the REAL div you need to check ? — Sasugasm, Apr 09 '18 at 09:50
You are getting exceptions because you haven't handled the exceptions properly and element is not locating after 20 seconds. — Pradeep hebbar, Apr 09 '18 at 09:50
yes element is not located after 20 seconds,i tried 100 seconds also,den also getting same .. — learner, Apr 09 '18 at 09:51
Nvm I'm dumb. Did you made sure the element IS visible in your page ? — Sasugasm, Apr 09 '18 at 09:54
It may be a scrolling problem. Selenium check if the element is visible on the screen he's given. Check for the window size, and whether the element is out of bounds. — Sasugasm, Apr 09 '18 at 09:57
f i give Thread.sleep(20)..Its working ..but webdriver wait not working — learner, Apr 09 '18 at 09:58
Did you check for presence of element first ? It is even present ? And check for frame too ? element might be inside a frame, and your webdriver is not able to see that — cruisepandey, Apr 09 '18 at 09:58
its outside frame only,and the thing is some time its identify the element,but most of times not — learner, Apr 09 '18 at 10:02
You are Using Java Selenium Binding, not Ruby binding! Said that why did you include `watir`? — Rajagopalan, Apr 09 '18 at 10:54
i didnt understand what you commented..in java selenium cant we use wait? — learner, Apr 10 '18 at 03:57
In my case we not using frame,the element is inside div only — learner, Apr 10 '18 at 04:42

As per the Java Docs of WebDriverWait Class if you want to change the Polling Interval you need to change it in the constructor as the constructor is as follows :

WebDriverWait(WebDriver driver, long timeOutInSeconds, long sleepInMillis)

Wait will ignore instances of NotFoundException that are encountered (thrown) by default in the 'until' condition, and immediately propagate all others.

Moving forward as you are trying to invoke sendKeys() on the element you need to invoke the ExpectedConditions method elementToBeClickable.

So your code will be :

WebDriver d = new ChromeDriver();
d.get("http://myurlOne");
WebElement username = d.findElement(By.id("username_id"));          
username.sendKeys("123");
WebElement password = d.findElement(By.id("password_id"));
password.sendKeys("123");
d.findElement(By.id("loginButton")).click();
System.out.println("logged in successfully");
d.get("http://navigatedurl");
System.out.println("navigated to new page"); 
WebDriverWait wait__mob = new WebDriverWait(d, 20);
try {
    System.out.println("Start"+new Date());
    wait__mob.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//div[@class='form-group']//label[contains(.,'Mobile No.')]//following::div[1]/input[@class='form-control k-input' and @id='mobileNo' and @type='tel']"))).sendKeys("9999999999);
} catch (TimeoutException e) {
    System.out.println(e.toString());
}
