Selenium Java CSS Selector bug?

Question

That code works very fine! Finds my only one button in that span tag, and clicks.

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("span[id$=somePagesCollection] a")).click();

Then, after clicking button, appears input field.

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("span[id$=somePagesCollection] input[id$=somePagesCollection_0_url]")).sendKeys("some");

What i've got?

org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":"span[id$=somePagesCollection] input[id$=somePagesCollection_0_url]"} Command duration or timeout: 16 milliseconds

Looking into the outer html of that element. What i'm doing wrong?

<input id="s567bb2e58337a_somePagesCollection_0_url" name="s567bb2e58337a[somePagesCollection][0][url]" required="required" class=" form-control" type="url">

Example from browser console.

$('span[id$=somePagesCollection] input[id$=somePagesCollection_0_url]').hide()

Another example from browser console that works well, but not in selenium.

$('span[id$=somePagesCollection] tr:nth-child(2) td:nth-child(2) input').hide()

Try waiting for the element before sending data

WebDriverWait wait=new WebDriverWait(driver,30);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector("span[id$=somePagesCollection] input[id$=somePagesCollection_0_url]"))).sendKeys("some");
