Selenium : Element not visible Exception C#

Question

I am trying to login to "https://www.quora.com/" , It has login screen where I put my username and password , It always throws Element not visible, I have gone through all other answers on SO , none of them working.

I tried to click the element via Javascript and ScrollintoView , but no avail.

IWebElement uname = driver.FindElement(By.Name("email"));

((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript("arguments[0].click();", uname);
js.ExecuteScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView()", uname);
js.ExecuteScript("arguments[0].click()", uname);
uname.SendKeys("[email protected]");

None of them working.

There is one more login form (hidden) on page with <input name="email"> element. You need to handle visible one. Try to use below code to locate required input field:

IWebElement uname = driver.FindElement(By.Xpath("//div[@class='login']//input[@name='email']"));

It worked. I am learning to create xPath on my own. Want to suggest any resource?

You can also use a CSS selector here since XPath is not required. I find them easier to create/read, div.login input[name='email']. As for XPath resources, just about anything on MDN is good, e.g. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/XPath. XPath is a complicated and powerful language but you'll find that you don't need a lot of what is available when you just use it in Selenium. Make yourself a cheatsheet as you learn common locators and you'll get the basics down pretty quickly.

To login to https://www.quora.com/ you need to send a character sequence to the Email and Password field and you can use the following solution:

Email field:

driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("input.text.header_login_text_box.ignore_interaction[name='email']")).SendKeys("[email protected]");

Password field:

driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("input.text.header_login_text_box.ignore_interaction[name='password']")).SendKeys("PankajKushwaha");

Find C# code for login as follows

[TestMethod]
    public void QuoraLogin()
    {
        ChromeDriver webDriver = new ChromeDriver();
        WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(webDriver, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, 30));
        webDriver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.quora.com/");
        IWebElement email= wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementToBeClickable(By.XPath("//div[@class='login']//input[@name='email']")));
        email.SendKeys("[email protected]");
        IWebElement password = wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementToBeClickable(By.XPath("//div[@class='login']//input[@name='password']")));
        password.SendKeys("123");
        webDriver.FindElement(By.XPath("//div[@class='login']//input[@value='Login']")).Click();
    }

I did not want the code. I wanted the reason why it is behaving so. I appreciate your efforts although.
