Hi Ashish,
I am trying to locate an element using xpath in the website w3school.com
public class AdvancedXPath {
public static void main(String[] args) {
WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.w3schools.com/"); driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='sidemenu']/a[text()='Learn Bootstrap']")).click();
I am using the text property for web driver to recognize the element
When i run this snippet the webdriver goes to w3.schools.com ,maximizes the window and highlights the Learn Bootstrap code but it is not getting clicked as per your example.
I am using the latest version of firefox 42.0
Any workaround for this? Could not get why the Learn Bootstrap link is not getting clicked.
Getting the following exception in the console
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: Element is not currently visible and so may not be interacted with
