Selenium displays NoSuchElementException despite the element being there

Question

So I made a short bit of selenium code, it isn't letting me select elements though! I do not understand. I try copy and pasting examples and none work because of this.

It says: NoSuchElementException: Unable to locate element #login\-input

Here is my java code:

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait( 10, TimeUnit.SECONDS );
driver.get( "https://www.ticketmaster.com/review" );
WebElement inputElement = driver.findElement( By.id( "login-input" ) );

Answer 1

Your login form is inside the iframe. Switch your driver first, try the bellow code :

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait( 10, TimeUnit.SECONDS );
driver.get( "https://www.ticketmaster.com/review" );

driver.switchTo().frame("loginFrame");
WebElement inputElement = driver.findElement( By.id( "login-input" ) );
inputElement.sendKeys("test");

Answer 2

The username and password fields are within an iframe, so you have to:

• Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it.
• Induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable.

• You can use the following solution:

  WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
  driver.get( "https://www.ticketmaster.com/review" );
  new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(By.cssSelector("iframe#loginFrame")));
  new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("label[for='login-input']"))).sendKeys("FX_NINJA");
