单击方法不起作用 - 使用 selenium webdriver 和 java

Question

I'm trying to scrape data from the public site. On the search page enter the search value and press the view button (normal submit)its shows the results.

normal browser view button clicks and shows the report as expected. but when I try to click the same button via the Webdriver code, the button clicks but the result was not shown.

Can anyone face this issue?

I tried the button click using XPath( //*[@id="b-form-submit"]/div/button ) with the below method

Click()
Submit()
Click using Javascript
Click using action class (keyboard event)

Button HTML code

<div class="b-button" id="b-form-submit">
   <div class="b-button-container">
      <span class="left">
      <i></i>
      </span>
      <button alt="View" type="submit">View</button>
      <span class="right">
      <i></i>
      </span>
   </div>
</div>

When i try to click the view button manually from the webdriver (debug mode) its not wokring, but same its working normal web browser (all the browsers)

The <button> isn't an immediate descendant of the <div> you can use either of the following Locator Strategies ::

• css_selectors :

   div#b-form-submit>div button[alt='View']

• xpath :

   //div[@id="b-form-submit"]/div//button[@alt='View' and text()='View']

---

So to click() on the element with text as View you can use either of the following Locator Strategies :

• cssSelector :

   driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div#b-form-submit>div button[alt='View']")).click();

• xpath :

   driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id="b-form-submit"]/div//button[@alt='View' and text()='View']")).click();

---

Ideally to click() on the element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the elementToBeClickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies :

• cssSelector :

   new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("div#b-form-submit>div button[alt='View']"))).click();

• xpath :

   new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//div[@id="b-form-submit"]/div//button[@alt='View' and text()='View']"))).click();
