I am trying to test iframe with robotframework and when using the Select Frame keyword with it always throws the error as,

NoSuchFrameException: Message: no such frame: element is not a frame
  (Session info: chrome=80.0.3987.132)

When tried to print the source code to check if the iframe is visible I see the below,

    <iframe name="frame-view" title="frame-view" width="100%" height="100%" src=<url> frameborder="0" scrolling="no" 
sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox">
    Oops! Your browser is not compatible with iframes
    </iframe>

Is it the browser which spawns is blocked to access the iframe and hence the keyword to select even fails? Just assuming this now, would be great if someone can give insight on this to fix. Thanks.

What locator are you using when trying to select the frame? – Bryan Oakley Mar 19 '20 at 03:29
@BryanOakley Thanks for the reply. Am using the frame name so like, Select Frame frame-view – Melwyn Jensen Mar 19 '20 at 03:36

Have you checked if this iframe is wrapped in another frame/frames? – supputuri Mar 19 '20 at 04:04
Have you verified there isn't anything else on that page with the same name? – Bryan Oakley Mar 19 '20 at 04:05
@supputuri no, it's not wrapped to another frame its direct from the root. – Melwyn Jensen Mar 19 '20 at 04:23
@BryanOakley yes there is different control like button with the same, will that affect the flow? cause Select Frame should ideally select which of ? – Melwyn Jensen Mar 19 '20 at 04:23

Ideally other button element with same `name` attribute value should not impact `Select Frame` as that method (command) is specific to frames and internally it will filter the elements based on the frames and provided attribute value. – supputuri Mar 19 '20 at 04:26
@supputuri is this msg in source ok? Oops! Your browser is not compatible with iframes – Melwyn Jensen Mar 19 '20 at 04:30
Do you seethe message, but still see the iframe in the source? – supputuri Mar 20 '20 at 04:29
