Best way to check that element is not present using Selenium WebDriver with java

Question

Im trying the code below but it seems it does not work... Can someone show me the best way to do this?

public void verifyThatCommentDeleted(final String text         


        

Answer 1

Use findElements instead of findElement.

findElements will return an empty list if no matching elements are found instead of an exception. Also, we can make sure that the element is present or not.

Ex: List elements = driver.findElements(By.yourlocatorstrategy);

if(elements.size()>0){
    do this..
 } else {
    do that..
 }
