Selenium test fails with java

Question

I use Selenium with cucumber in Java and when trying to do that :

WebElement MyAccountLink = driver.findElement(By.className("btn-outlined-white_medium_block"));
MyAccountLink.click();

I got this error:

org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"class name","selector":"btn-outlined-white_medium_block"}

How can i solve it ? Thanks.

Answer 1

use 'XPath' or 'cssSelector' instead of 'className', because it doesn't matters which locator you are using. you need to find the element and do automation on that element.

WebElement MyAccountLink = driver.findElement(By.xpath("right click on element and copy xpath and paste it here"));
MyAccountLink.click();

Hope XPath will work in any case.
