Issues in clicking element

Question

I am using java selenium for saving web data if any changes made.

Web page contains two buttons 'Confirm' and 'Cancel'. If i made any changes in web page, both 'confirm' and 'cancel' buttons will be visible at the time i can click confirm button by using below code .

WebElement confirm =wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(), 'Confirm')]")));      
confirm.click();

If there is no changes in web page , Confirm button will get disabled(grayed) at the time i want to click Cancel button Automatically.

I have tried with below code , it is not working. Please help on this.

try
      {
          WebElement confirm = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(), 'Confirm')]")));
          confirm.click();
      }    
      catch (ElementNotVisibleException exception)
      {
          WebElement cancel = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(), 'Cancel')]")));

          cancel.click();

      }

Answer 1

Why do you want to complicate things? Keep it simple.

 WebElement confirm = driver.findElement(By.id("<your confirm button id>"));
 WebElement cancel= driver.findElement(By.id("<your cancel id>"));
 if(confirm.isEnabled())
  {
   confirm.click();
  }
  else
  {
   cancel.click();
  }

You may also try with confirm.isDisplayed();

Answer 2

You can try catching the exception when click on 'Confirm' button fails and as part of exception handling you can click on 'Cancel' button in following way:

try {
    wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(), 'Confirm')]")));
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(), 'Confirm')]")).click();
} catch (Exception we) {
    System.out.println("'Confirm' button is not clickable, hence trying to click on 'Cancel' button");
    wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(), 'Cancel')]")));
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(), 'Cancel')]")).click();
}

UPDATE 1:

wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(), 'Confirm')]")));
WebElement confirmButton = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(), 'Confirm')]"));
if (confirmButton.isEnabled())
    confirmButton.click();
else 
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[contains(text(), 'Cancel')]")).click();

Let me know, whether it works for you.
