Selenium Webdriver is suck on the second iteration of the for-loop: it is not finding or selecting an element

Question

The first iteration of the for-loop works perfectly, and the second works fine up until it has to make a selection from the list. The error I received was: "Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: element not visible"

Could this be a time sync issue? If so, wouldn't I have run into this issue in the first iteration? Or, even though I could see the elements in front of me, it is not being selected because it's not an active element?

Answer 1

It's very likely that an action in the for-loop has changed the DOM. So you'd better find the element again inside the for-loop
