[Ashwin]

Hi,

I am able to lunch the IE browser and able to get the URL i am using webdriver, but it gets failed in the loginpage. Not able to find the loginname locator.

I am getting the following error message

org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to find element with name == loginname (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)
Command duration or timeout: 30.03 seconds

Could you post short html of application and your test code?
Looks like you have not used right locator.

[Ashwin]

This is the sample HTML and test code

[softwaretestingforum]

Don't see any thing obviously wrong.
Now I would have to ask you more test code, like - how you launching the URL, how are test configured etc.

[Ashwin]

please find the below sample code. The same code is working fine in Chrome and Firefox driver

private WebDriver driver;
private String baseUrl;
       
@BeforeTest
public void setUp() throws Exception {
baseUrl = "http://localhost/";
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}

@Test
public void test() {
   driver.get(baseUrl + "/");
   driver.findElement(By.name("loginname")).sendKeys("abc");
   driver.findElement(By.name("password")).sendKeys("abc123");
   driver.findElement(By.name("Submit")).click();
}

@AfterTest
public void tearDown(){
  driver.quit();
}

Thanks,
Ashwin

I hope the application URL is -

baseUrl = "http://localhost/";

Also which version of IE are you using? And can your try with latest Selenium jar which is version 2.21, I observed that you are using 2.19

[Ashwin]

Hi Tarun,

yes baseUrl is the application url, i am using IE 7 and i have tried with Selenium 2.21.0 version still i am having the same problem.

Thanks,
Ashwin

Could you comment this line -

   driver.findElement(By.name("loginname")).sendKeys("abc");

just to debug if password field is recognized.
Also can you use IE developer tool bar to find if name is really - "loginname" in IE too. (Sounds dumb but yet could you check this?)

[Ashwin]

Yes in IE also locator name is same "loginname" It launches the URL and redirects to login page but it is not identifying the locator elements. i commented loginname part and tried with password still its not identifying and with Login button also its not working.

I think after the url is invoked page focus is not recognized for login page i guess.

[softwaretestingforum]

after - driver.get()
can you do -

System.out.println(driver.getPageSource())

And check if it prints desired elements.

[Ashwin]

I am able get the page source it means its recognizing the login page but after that i am getting the same error

What source code is printed ? Could you post it here while masking ant sensitive information?

[Ashwin]

Hi Tarun,

Finally i am able fix the issue there was some IE proxy setting issue.

Sorry for pulling your time.

Thanks a lot for the help :)

[softwaretestingforum]

No problem, but could you please explain for others benefit as how you fixed it?

[Ashwin]

Solution to run the script from IE:

Under Tools -> Internet options -> Connections -> LAN settings -> un check Automatic configurations if any check box is selected.
