Help with automating a menu selection
Hi,
I am trying to click the following menu in the attached screen shot with selenium web driver using a java implementation
Whenever I use an xpath locator such as //*[@class = 'menu-item-title' and text()= 'New'] and I search the DoM of the page in question I get 1 instance of the xpath locator.
However when I run my tests I get the following error:
org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[@class = 'menu-item-title' and text()= 'New'] "}
there are a number of different unique locators for the "+" and "new" menus which all result in the unable to locate element error in the console.
when I record and run the same set of steps using the selenium IDE it uses xpath=//span[2]/span to click the link and works fine, however if I update my test to use this xpath it results in the same unable to locate element.
I have tried switching frames and almost everything else I can think of but with no success.
Any help with this would be fantastic.
Kind Regards
Troy
