How to use findElements method of org.openqa.selenium.support.ByIdOrName class

Just use //element[@someAttribute] for your XPath expression.

You can't rely on sleeps so you should try this:

WebElement myDynamicElement = (new WebDriverWait(driver, 10))
  .until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.id("myDynamicElement")));

You have a plenty of methods in the ExpectedConditions class.

Here is some info:

Hope you find this useful.

Element is not clickable at point (775.25, 10.166671752929688). Other element would receive the click:

It clearly says, the element we want to click is hidden by some other element div in this case, which would receive the click.

I think it is a problem with the UI and the header shouldn't hide the element, but you can try few things :

1. Maximize the window of the browser from webdriver to see if header still hides the element

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

2. Use JavaScript to click element

   WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.<locator>);
   JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
   executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click()", element)`
   

You can switch between windows as below:

// Store the current window handle
String winHandleBefore = driver.getWindowHandle();

// Perform the click operation that opens new window

// Switch to new window opened
for(String winHandle : driver.getWindowHandles()){
    driver.switchTo().window(winHandle);
}

// Perform the actions on new window

// Close the new window, if that window no more required
driver.close();

// Switch back to original browser (first window)
driver.switchTo().window(winHandleBefore);

// Continue with original browser (first window)

I would suggest that you use the PageFactory as intended and have a constructor for your class where you would like to use the explicit wait. Having a separation between the script and the page objects makes it much easier to work with in the future.

public class MyClass {

    WebDriverWait wait; 
    WebDriver driver; 
    @FindBy(how=How.ID, id="locatorId")
    WebElement locator; 

    // Construct your class here 
    public MyClass(WebDriver driver){
        this.driver = driver; 
        wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,30);
    }

    // Call whatever function you want to create 
    public void MyFunction(){
        wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(locator));
        // Perform desired actions that you wanted to do in myClass
    } 

Then in your test case use code to perform your test. In your example, the wait is contained inside the page.

public class MyTestClass {
    public static void main (string ... args){
        WebDriver driver = new FireFoxDriver(); 
        MyClass myForm = PageFactory.initElements(driver,Myclass.class); 
        myForm.MyFunction(); 
    }
}

This example was modeled after the example in the book Selenium WebDriver Practical Guide that can be found here here

Please read this Martin Follower's article - Page Object.

A quotation:

Despite the term "page" object, these objects shouldn't usually be built for each page, but rather for the significant elements on a page

Imagine a page which has over of dozen tabs, panels etc, and each one have a few fields, buttons etc. It would be impractical to create a huge class for such a page, it would certainly have 300-500 or more lines of code. Such a class would be very hard to maintain.

It's better (in my opinion) to create several small classes (page objects), each for a specific section of the page, each one containing only a few elements, each no more than 50-100 lines of code. We call these classes page fragments instead of page objects, but the concept is the same.

But it will vary from person to person and everyone may have a different opinion on this topic.

Naif,

Actually, your above question is different than the actual question hence you should have asked it as a separate question. Still, I'm answering to your previous question.

The error is because the element you're trying to click on isn't visible. Before you click on element, it should be visible. You can do this by following -

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[2]/div[2]"));
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20); //here, wait time is 20 seconds

wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(element)); //this will wait for elememt to be visible for 20 seconds
element.click(); //now it clicks on element

If above doesn't work, you can click on element by executing javascript(but this isn't a good practice)

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
js.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);

Did you try disabling the developer extensions with command line param?

Try with the following Selenium WebDriver java code:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\chromedriver.exe");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

Try something like this:

 WebElement parentEle = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='atb-delivery-accordions']"));

 WebElement descriptionEle = parentEle.findElement(By.tagName("p"));

 //Get the text from the description element.
 String descriptionText = descriptionEle.getText();
