I'm creating an automated test suite for my job and currently I can't get it to run past the first line i.e

"driver.findElement(By.id("username")).sendKeys("example");

I decided to try google to see if i could make any headway and this is the code i started out with

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;


public class fgiLogin {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

        System.setProperty("webDriver.chrome.driver",
"C:\\Users\\examplefolder\\Documents\\examplefolder\\chromedriver.exe");
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("https://google.com");

        driver.manage().window().maximize();

        Thread.sleep(5000);


        driver.findElement(By.className("gLFyf")).sendKeys("fruit");
        driver.findElement(By.name("ntnK")).click();

        driver.close();
    }

}

After the word fruit is placed into the google search bar thats where the test is failing.

this is the error set i get in intellij

Process finished with exit code 1

How can i get the code to work past the initial line of sending the keys to the search bar?

Tried to change the driver.get to id, classname, name, and etc. I want the google search button to click and the driver to close as expected. The search bar will enter fruit and the automation breaks.

Once you invoke an url through get() and then immediately try to invoke sendKeys() within the username field, the username field may not have completely rendered.

Solution

Ideally, to send a character sequence within an Username field you need to induce WebDriverWait for the elementToBeClickable() and you can use either of the following locator strategies:

  • Using id:

    new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10)).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("username"))).sendKeys("jetswept");

  • Using cssSelector:

    new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10)).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("#username"))).sendKeys("jetswept");

  • Using xpath:

    new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10)).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//*[@id='username']"))).sendKeys("jetswept");
