ElementNotVisibleException: Element is not currently visible

Works Now. Check below code

package module15;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.Alert;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;

public class delete_later {

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub


WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

driver.get("http://makemytrip.com");


driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='start_date_sec']")).click();
WebElement dayElement = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[text()='31']"));
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", dayElement);

}

}

Hi , Thanks man.
Please can you explain me purpose of last two lines? why we need to add them ?

even this code not working:(...

It is very fast and selects the date , check the date after selection it will show 31 Aug 16.

JavaScript is language inside the browser to interact with HTML DOM.
Selenium WebDriver provides a JavascriptExecutor interface that can be used to execute
arbitrary JavaScript code within the context of the browser.

Instead of driver.getTitle() we can call uisng JavascriptExecutor

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
string sText = js.executeScript("return document.title;").toString();

Hey , if I paste your whole code its working for 31 only , If I change to say 21 not working.
Do I need to change anything for 21??


js.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", dayElement);
what is argument[0] indicates? will this be always fixed?
Secondly do you have any link from where I can go through all Java script command beneficial for webdriver

You can observe, that there are two tables displayed on UI i.e August and September.

Suppose if you want to click day 25 , the xpath is same for both august and september month,therefore
Selenium throws "ElementNotVisibleException".

So i used findElements method and clicked on the ( August25)
[b:1qdqg84m]driver.findElements(By.xpath("//a[text()='25'] [@class='ui-state-default']")).get(0).click();[/b:1qdqg84m]

If you want to click on September 25 then
[b:1qdqg84m]driver.findElements(By.xpath("//a[text()='25'] [@class='ui-state-default']")).get(1).click();[/b:1qdqg84m]

So i used below code the fix it.

package module15;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.Alert;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;

public class delete_later {

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub


WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

driver.get("http://makemytrip.com");

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='start_date_sec']")).click();

int date=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//a[text()='25'] [@class='ui-state-default']")).size();
System.out.println(date);
driver.findElements(By.xpath("//a[text()='25'] [@class='ui-state-default']")).get(0).click();
//driver.findElements(By.xpath("//a[text()='25'] [@class='ui-state-default']")).get(1).click();


}

}

Hi ,

Suppose if you want to click day 25 , the xpath is same for both august and september month,therefore
Selenium throws "ElementNotVisibleException".

It should not throw exception , this is weird, It should find 1st element.

Second thing , below code works , but again below code is customized , need common xpath for any date wthether it is 21 , 27 or 31?
is it possible?

use this. it works perfectly. if you have any question paste it below.

public class Select_date {

public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("https://www.makemytrip.com");
selectDate("25/07/2016");
}



public static void selectDate(String date) throws ParseException {

driver.findElement(By.id("start_date_sec")).click();

SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date dateToBeSelected = df.parse(date);
Date currentDate = new Date();
String monthYearDisplayed = driver.findElement(
By.xpath("//*[@id='ui-datepicker-div']/div[1]/div/div"))
.getText();
System.out.println("month year displayed " + monthYearDisplayed);
String month = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM").format(dateToBeSelected);
String year = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy").format(dateToBeSelected);
String day = new SimpleDateFormat("d").format(dateToBeSelected);
System.out.println("day is " + day);
String monthYearToBeSelected = month + " " + year;
System.out
.println("month year to be selected " + monthYearToBeSelected);

while (true) {
if (monthYearToBeSelected.equals(monthYearDisplayed)) {

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td/a[text()=" + day + "]"))
.click();
System.out.println("found and selected");
break;

} else {
if (dateToBeSelected.after(currentDate)) {

driver.findElement(
By.xpath(".//*[@id='ui-datepicker-div']/div[2]/div/a"))
.click();
} else {
driver.findElement(
By.xpath(".//*[@id='ui-datepicker-div']/div[1]/div/a"))
.click();
}
}
monthYearDisplayed = driver.findElement(
By.xpath("//*[@id='ui-datepicker-div']/div[1]/div/div"))
.getText();
}
}

}
[/code:v1himrss]

Thanks team its working .

Only one concern

By.xpath("//td/a[text()=" + day + "]"))

why after putting //td its working ? is there any logic which we need to keep in our mind going forward?

partial xpath have to be specific. that is why we put td in front to make it specific.

PS: please try to post your question Mon to Sat 10AM to 5PM. Sunday is day off.
