driver.switchTo().frame(iframe) works fine for iframes which are not directly under body tag.

Ex: <body><div><iframe></iframe></div></body>

iframe in w3schools is not directly under body tag. https://www.w3schools.com/

Selenium webdriver fails to switch to iframes directly under body tag.

Ex: <body><iframe></iframe></body>

Selenium Jar used: selenium-server-standalone-3.8.1.jar

$ chromedriver -v
ChromeDriver 2.35.528157 (4429ca2590d6988c0745c24c8858745aaaec01ef)

Chrome Version 83.0.4103.116 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Please note there is no error thrown. The driver is still in default frame even after driver.switchTo().frame(iframe);.

Show us your code – Alexey R. Jul 16 '20 at 11:44
How did you confirm that the driver's scope is in the parent frame? – supputuri Jul 16 '20 at 11:49
I confirmed by finding the same iframe again in document, which I should not have If driver had switched to iframe. – Sangam Shankar Jul 16 '20 at 15:30
@AlexeyR. I believe my code is fine since the code is working for iframes which are not directly under body tag. – Sangam Shankar Jul 16 '20 at 15:36
