Unable click button by xpath in selenium webdriver

Question

This is the code I have

<button type="button" id="B-New" data-sap-ui="B-New" title="Add New Order" role="button" aria-disabled="false" tabindex="0" class="sapUiBtn sapUiBtnNorm sapUiBtnS sapUiBtnStd">Add</button>

xpath for this is "//*[@id='B-New']"

I am trying to click the button but unable to so.

I have used xpath, ID class name everything but it is unable to click. This is what I am using

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='B-New']")).click()

Kindly help.

I have also used javascript

jse.executeScript("document.getElementById('B-New').click()");

but it also doesn't work.

Answer 1

You should try using WebDriverWait to wait until element is visible and enable to click as below :-

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
WebElement el = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("B-New")));
el.click();

Note :- If this element is inside any frame , you need to switch that frame before finding and clicking the element using driver.switchTo().frame("frame name or id") .

Hope it helps..:)
