org.openqa.selenium.StaleElementReferenceException
When it occurs ?
- When the element has been deleted entirely.
- When the element is no longer attached to the DOM
Causes:
- When the page is refreshed
- When the user is navigated to another page
- When the java script deletes the element and creates the same element with the same id then the driver may not identify the replacement
How to overcome ?
- By refreshing the web page |
driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath")).click();
- By using Try Catch Block
- By using ExpectedConditions.refreshed
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.refreshed(ExpectedConditions.stalenessOf("ThisIsElement");
- By using POM Lazy Initialization
- In POM, we use initElements() method which loads the element but it won’t initialize elements.
- initElements() takes latest address.
- It initializes during run time when we try to perform any action on an element.
- This process is also known as Lazy Initialization.
