Selenium Webdriver: Element Not Visible Exception

Question

Here is my code to click a simple login button on this Website

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;    
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;    
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;    

public class Reports {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
        driver.get("https://platform.drawbrid.ge");
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='_loginButton']")).click();

    }
}

I am getting following error:

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: Element is not currently visible and so may not be interacted with Command duration or timeout: 2.05 seconds

Answer 1

You have two buttons with given xpath on this page, first is not visible, thats why you are getting ElementNotVisibleException

One is under <div class="loginPopup">

Second (the one you need) is under <div class="page">

So change your xpath to look like this, and it will fix your problem:

By.xpath("//div[@class='page']//div[@id='_loginButton']")

Answer 2

There are even 3 elements with id="_loginButton" on the page, and only one is visible - the one located inside the login form, you can get it by a CSS selector:

By.cssSelector("form#_loginForm div#_loginButton")

Answer 3

There are 3 occurrences of id="_loginButton".

Used the id="_loginButton" under class="signIn" by cssSelector to get the exact button in the page.

By.cssSelector("div.signIn div#_loginButton")
