WebElement Visible and sometimes not Visible

Question

The element sometimes become visible and sometimes does not become visible. Also the element is not in the DOM. How to handle this situation using Selenium Webdriver?

Answer 1

1st you can wait for the element to be visible on DOM

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 15);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated("YOUR LOcator")));

You can also check if the element is present on DOM or not. Use below code for same

  if (driver.findElements("YOUR LOCATOR").size() != 0) {  
            driver.findElement(YOUR LOCATOR).click();  
            System.out.println("element exists");     
        }  
  else{
           System.out.println("element is not exists");     
      }

Hope it will help you :)
