In selenium webdriver i want to use if/else condition with java. Each steps need to be checked and need to execute one by one. For example
Log.info("Clicking on Reports link");
WebElement menuHoverLink = driver.findElement(By.id("reports"));
actions.moveToElement(menuHoverLink).perform();
Thread.sleep(6000);
In this code, i need to check the id once it present it need to perform the action else it need to skip the test case not to be failed.
if(driver.findElement(By.id("reports").size()!=0){
WebElement menuHoverLink = driver.findElement(By.id("reports"));
actions.moveToElement(menuHoverLink).perform();
}
else{
system.out.println("element not present -- so it entered the else loop");
}
use this one -- if the element is not persent also testcase doesnt fail
Option #1:
WebElement menuHoverLink = null;
try
{
menuHoverLink = driver.findElement(By.id("reports"));
}
catch(Exception e)
{
}
if (menuHoverLink != null)
{
actions.moveToElement(menuHoverLink).perform();
Thread.sleep(6000);
}
Option #2:
List<WebElement> menuHoverLinks = driver.findElements(By.id("reports"));
if (menuHoverLinks.size() > 0)
{
actions.moveToElement(menuHoverLinks.get(0)).perform();
Thread.sleep(6000);
}
Keep in mind that Thread.sleep by itself may also throw an exception, so you should either catch it inside the method, or add throws Exception at the end of the method's declaration.
Try this one . i think this should work
for me it worked
private boolean existsElement(String id) {
try {
driver.findElement(By.id(id));
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("id is not present ");
return false;
}
return true;
}
if(existsElement("reports")==true){
WebElement menuHoverLink = driver.findElement(By.id("reports"));
actions.moveToElement(menuHoverLink).perform();
}
else{
system.out.println("element not present -- so it entered the else loop");
}
Use try catch block in your script like
Log.info("Clicking on Reports link");
try {
WebElement menuHoverLink = driver.findElement(By.id("reports"));
actions.moveToElement(menuHoverLink).perform();
Thread.sleep(6000);
} Catch(Exception e) {
// Element not found....do not fail my test
}
action methods throws an exception (I'm not sure if they do), or if Thread.sleep throws an exception (I know for sure that it might). OP should put only the driver.findElement method call inside the try/catch block.
