Click Facebook 'share' button with selenium java
Question
I have to test this FB buttons:
Facebook buttons are inside an iframe. I switch to iframe, and I am able to find 'Share' button. But when webDriver clicks on it, the popup window doesn't show up. My code is:
WebElement iframeFacebook = webDriver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[3]/div/div[2]/div[3]/iframe[1]"));
webDriver.switchTo().frame(iframeFacebook);
webDriver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[contains(@class, 'pluginButtonLabel') and contains(., 'Share')]")).click();
webDriver.switchTo().defaultContent();
I do the same for Twitter buttons, and it works. What is special about FB buttons?
EDIT
The HTML code of FB buttons:
<iframe frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:97px; height:35px; float:left" scrolling="no" src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Ffacebook.com%2Fmynumber26&width&layout=button&action=like&show_faces=false&share=true&height=35&appId=1454011268146569&locale=en_US">

<html id="facebook" class="" lang="en">

Maybe your xpath isn't finding the IframeFacebook, but is finding the button. The first click is setting the focus.
Try adding another click to see if this is the case. If it is try using Tag Name or ID locator for the Iframe.
If you want your life to be easier try:

Also, not to lecture, but it is general best practice to use Xpath locators as a last resort.
- ID
- Tag Name
- Text
- Href

I've verified it. It is not in iframe.
Use below logic
String postNo="1"; // To click on share of first post in timeline
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[contains(@id,'substream')]["+postNo+"]//span[@class='share_root']//span[text()='Share']")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[contains(@id,'substream')]["+postNo+"]//span[@class='share_root']//span[text()='Share']")).click();
//click on =>(Share Now friends) with below locator
By.xpath("//ul[@role='menu']//span[text()='Share Now (Friends)']")
//click on =>Share...
By.xpath("//ul[@role='menu']//span[text()='Share…']")
EDIT-I
If we click on Share link once it is not opening below options (No idea why?!). Try to click twice.
