Selenium webdriver JavaScript not able to click on link

Question

<a id="compareCompanies" b:onclick="needsController.showQuotes = true;" href="#">Compare companies</a>

Selenium Webdriver JavaScript code using Mocha:

driver.wait(function () {
    driver.findElement(webdriver.By.id("compareCompanies"));
}, 5000);

var compareCompaniesLink = driver.findElement(webdriver.By.id("compareCompanies"));

compareCompaniesLink.click();

Error I get is:

NoSuchElementError: Unable to locate element: {"method":"CSS selector","selector":"*[id=\\"compareCompanies\\"]"}

Answer 1

Seems like error is here:

Original:

var compareCompaniesLink = driver.findElement(webdriver.By.id("compareCompanies"));

Updated:

var compareCompaniesLink = driver.findElement(By.id("compareCompanies"));
