Selenium web driver: cannot be scrolled into view

I am using Selenium IDE and Selenium web driver testng in eclipse .. my testing is against ZK application ..

the test case works fine on Selenium IDE ..

    <td>doubleClick</td>
    <td>//div[2]/div[2]</td>

</tr>
<tr>
    <td>pause</td>
    <td>3000</td>
    <td>3000</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
</body>
</html>

but when I run it in eclipse with selenium web driver (testng) I got an error ..

    selenium.open("xxx");
selenium.click("//li[2]/div/div/div/span");
Thread.sleep(3000);
selenium.doubleClick("//div[2]/div[2]");
Thread.sleep(3000);

I also changed the code to

 driver.get("xxx");

        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li[2]/div/div/div/span")).click();
        Thread.sleep(3000);
        WebElement ee = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[2]/div[2]"));
        Actions action = new Actions(driver);
        action.doubleClick(ee).perform();
        Thread.sleep(3000);

also getting the same error ...

the error was in this line

//div[2]/div[2]

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);

Try to execute the script and click the element

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

I'm not sure but try and see if following works for you. First, you've to make that element visible before interacting with it -

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[2]/div[2]"));
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element);

The above code will scroll down till the element is visible and then you can click on it.

I was getting this error in slightly different context where I was trying to click anchor tag with the selenium RemoteWebDriver (I was trying to replace WebDriver). The fix was identifying the right set of capability for the driver for eg:

capability = DesiredCapabilities.chrome(); capability.setPlatform(Platform.WIN10); capability.setCapability("version", "66");
