Unable to locate an element using xpath error in selenium-java

Question

This is the code I am trying to execute

public WebDriver createPart() {

    try {
        driver.findElement(By.id(\"username\")).sendKeys(\"502409373\");
          


        

Answer 1

To invoke click() on the link with text as Part Details you need to induce WebDriverWait and invoke click() as follows :

• linkText :

  new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.linkText("Part Details"))).click();
  

• cssSelector :

  new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("a.tablink[title='Part Details']"))).click();
  

• xpath :

  new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//a[@class='tablink' and @title='Part Details']"))).click();
