The website is https://cloudwise.nl/ I'm trying to click on Dit is Cloudwise > Alle Cludwisers with Selenium using Java. It's a hoverable drop-down menu so I saw people handle this situation with the help of waiting until the presence of Element Located functions. so that's my code piece:

Actions action = new Actions(driver);
        WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(5));
        WebElement menu = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated((By.xpath("//a[@class='sf-with-ul'][contains(text(),'Dit is Cloudwise')]"))));
        WebElement submenu = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//li[@id='menu-item-6380']//a[contains(text(),'Alle Cloudwisers')]")));
        action.moveToElement(menu).moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li[@id='menu-item-6380']//a[contains(text(),'Alle Cloudwisers')]"))).click().build().perform();

But the test still passes and it does not click. What could I be doing wrong?

To Mouse Hover on Dit is Cloudwise and then to click on Alle Cludwisers you need to induce WebDriverWait for the visibilityOfElementLocated() and you can use the following locator strategies:

  • Using xpath:

    new Actions(driver).moveToElement(new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10)).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//a[text()='Dit is Cloudwise']")))).build().perform();
new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10)).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//a[text()='Dit is Cloudwise']//following::ul[1]/li/a"))).click();

  • Still got the same error: `Expected condition failed: waiting for element to be clickable: By.xpath: //a[text()='Alle Cloudwisers']//following::ul[1]/li/a (tried for 10 second(s) with 500 milliseconds interval)` – Erhan Yumer Aug 12 '22 at 14:38
  • Can we use `visibilityOfElementLocated.build().perform()` at any hoverable object? Like even at buttons need hovering to become active? – Erhan Yumer Aug 12 '22 at 19:02
  • Yes, but take care of the syntax. – undetected Selenium Aug 12 '22 at 19:04

Try changing presenceOfElementLocated with visibilityOfElementLocated.
Also, looks like

action.moveToElement(menu).moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li[@id='menu-item-6380']//a[contains(text(),'Alle Cloudwisers')]"))).click().build().perform();

Can be changed with

action.moveToElement(menu).moveToElement(submenu).click().build().perform();

  • I did the changes you mentioned but still doesn't work. Now I get the error: `Expected condition failed: waiting for visibility of element located by By.xpath: //a[@class='sf-with-ul'][contains(text(),'Dit is Cloudwise')] (tried for 5 second(s) with 500 milliseconds interval)` – Erhan Yumer Aug 12 '22 at 14:07
  • Is the submenu opens by hovering over the menu element or user need to click on menu to open the submenu? – Prophet Aug 12 '22 at 14:32

    Opens by hovering. These canges solved the problem: `new Actions(driver).moveToElement(new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10)).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//a[@class='sf-with-ul'][contains(text(),'Dit is Cloudwise')]")))).build().perform(); new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10)).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//li[@id='menu-item-6380']//a[contains(text(),'Alle Cloudwisers')]"))).click();` – Erhan Yumer Aug 12 '22 at 15:00

@Erthan Yumer, you can achieve this in the way your initial implementation with the slight change as given below:

Actions action = new Actions(driver);
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(5));
WebElement menu = wait.until(ExpectedConditions
        .presenceOfElementLocated((By.xpath("//a[@class='sf-with-ul'][contains(text(),'Dit is Cloudwise')]"))));
action.moveToElement(menu)
        .moveToElement(wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(
                By.xpath("//li[@id='menu-item-6380']//a[contains(text(),'Alle Cloudwisers')]"))))
        .click().build().perform();

  • Thanks for reply but using visibilityOfElementLocated method solved my problem. And this is the code piece I used: `new Actions(driver).moveToElement(new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10)).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//a[@class='sf-with-ul'][contains(text(),'Dit is Cloudwise')]")))).build().perform(); new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10)).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//li[@id='menu-item-6380']//a[contains(text(),'Alle Cloudwisers')]"))).click();` – Erhan Yumer Aug 12 '22 at 17:48
