This error message...

Sun Sep 22 18:13:27 IDT 2019:ERROR: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"id","selector":"//input[@id='company']"}
  (Session info: chrome=76.0.3809.132)
  (Driver info: chromedriver=2.36.540470 (e522d04694c7ebea4ba8821272dbef4f9b818c91),platform=Windows NT 6.1.7601 SP1 x86_64)

...implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to locate the desired element.

There are a couple of things which you need to take care:

• The Locator Strategy which you have used isn't the id, but it's the xpath
• Though you are using chrome=76.0 but chromedriver=2.36 is too old.

Solution

• For the selector value of //input[@id='company'] change the method as "xpath".
• Ensure JDK is upgraded to current levels JDK 8u222.
• Ensure Selenium is upgraded to current levels Version 3.141.59.
• Ensure ChromeDriver is updated to current ChromeDriver v77.0 level.
• Chrome is updated to current Chrome Version 77.0 level. (as per ChromeDriver v77.0 release notes)

NoSuchElementException

org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException popularly known as NoSuchElementException extends org.openqa.selenium.NotFoundException which is a type of WebDriverException.

NoSuchElementException can be thrown in 2 cases as follows :

• When using WebDriver.findElement(By by) :

  //example : WebElement my_element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//my_xpath"));
  

• When using WebElement.findElement(By by) :

  //example : WebElement my_element = element.findElement(By.xpath("//my_xpath"));
  

As per the JavaDocs just like any other WebDriverException, NoSuchElementException should contain the following Constant Fields :

Constant Field      Type                                        Value
SESSION_ID          public static final java.lang.String        "Session ID"
e.g. (Session info: chrome=63.0.3239.108)

DRIVER_INFO         public static final java.lang.String        "Driver info"
e.g. (Driver info: chromedriver=2.34.522940 (1a76f96f66e3ca7b8e57d503b4dd3bccfba87af1),platform=Windows NT 6.1.7601 SP1 x86)

BASE_SUPPORT_URL    protected static final java.lang.String     "http://seleniumhq.org/exceptions/"
e.g. (For documentation on this error, please visit: http://seleniumhq.org/exceptions/no_such_element.html)

Reason

The reason for NoSuchElementException can be either of the following :

• The Locator Strategy you have adopted doesn't identifies any element in the HTML DOM.
• The Locator Strategy you have adopted is unable to identify the element as it is not within the browser's Viewport.
• The Locator Strategy you have adopted identifies the element but is invisible due to presence of the attribute style="display: none;".
• The Locator Strategy you have adopted doesn't uniquely identifies the desired element in the HTML DOM and currently finds some other hidden / invisible element.
• The WebElement you are trying to locate is within an <iframe> tag.
• The WebDriver instance is looking out for the WebElement even before the element is present/visibile within the HTML DOM.

Solution

The solution to address NoSuchElementException can be either of the following :

• Adopt a Locator Strategy which uniquely identifies the desired WebElement. You can take help of the Developer Tools (Ctrl+Shift+I or F12) and use Element Inspector.

  Here you will find a detailed discussion on how to inspect element in selenium3.6 as firebug is not an option any more for FF 56?

• Use executeScript() method to scroll the element in to view as follows :

  WebElement elem = driver.findElement(By.xpath("element_xpath"));
  ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", elem);
  

  Here you will find a detailed discussion on Scrolling to top of the page in Python using Selenium

• Incase element is having the attribute style="display: none;", remove the attribute through executeScript() method as follows :

  WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("element_xpath"));
  ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].removeAttribute('style')", element)
  element.sendKeys("text_to_send");
  

• To check if the element is within an <iframe> traverse up the HTML to locate the respective <iframe> tag and switchTo() the desired iframe through either of the following methods :

  driver.switchTo().frame("frame_name");
  driver.switchTo().frame("frame_id");
  driver.switchTo().frame(1); // 1 represents frame index
  

  Here you can find a detailed discussion on Is it possible to switch to an element in a frame without using driver.switchTo().frame(“frameName”) in Selenium Webdriver Java?.

• If the element is not present/visible in the HTML DOM immediately, induce WebDriverWait with ExpectedConditions set to proper method as follows :

  • To wait for presenceOfElementLocated :

    new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//div[@class='buttonStyle']//input[@id='originTextField']")));
    

  • To wait for visibilityOfElementLocated :

    new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//div[@class='buttonStyle']//input[@id='originTextField']")));
    

  • To wait for elementToBeClickable :

    new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//div[@class='buttonStyle']//input[@id='originTextField']")));
    

Reference

You can find Selenium's python client based relevant discussion in:

• Selenium “selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException” when using Chrome

Reason 1:

Waiting for the element to be loaded. Use

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 4000);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated((By.id("id"))));

Reason 2:

Check to see if <input id="id" class="p-field span12" type="text"> is in any frame.

If yes use

driver.switchTo.frame("frameName"); 

before using

driver.findElement(By.id("id")).sendKeys("input key");

<iframe id="login-iframe" title="Login" src="https://www.barclaycardus.com/servicing/authenticate/home?rnd=120231985&amp;xsessionid=FF4CC3BDD157751E5B9AF5E756D3E303" frameborder="0"></iframe>

You have an iframe switch to it.

WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.ID, "login-iframe")))

Import

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait 
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

1. First correct your syntax error:

   driver.findElement(By.id("diagnosisivd")).click();

2. If this is correct and still your are facing the same then try by adding some wait at some conditions.

   WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 15); wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("diagnosisivd")));

3. Try with different locator type XPath/CSSSelector-

   By.xpath : //*[@id='diagnosisivd']

After you clicked loginenter button, some wait should be added to reload page. It will provide small delay which is helpful for SeleniumDriver to identify element. I would like to suggest you to add some condition to wait next element. Please try below code snippet

WebElement myDynamicElement = 
(new WebDriverWait(driver, 10)).until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.id("usrUTils")));
