SOLVED:Webdriver unable to locate element

[ccox]

I am using Visual Studio with Selenium Webdriver and NUnit and I am unable to interact with any element on a page for this site. Selenium IDE can interact with most of it, but Webdriver can't interact with any.  I used the same code against Google it works as expected so I know its not a set up error.  

This is the html:
<input name="txtDisplayName" class="textbox" id="txtDisplayName" type="text" size="50" maxLength="64"/>

This is the command I use:
 driver.FindElement(By.Id("txtDisplayName")).SendKeys("Display Name");

This is the error:
TestSelenium.Class1.AddClass:
OpenQA.Selenium.NoSuchElementException : Unable to find element with id == txtDisplayName

This is the log

No ideas?

Could you post more of your test scripts ?

[ccox]

The browser opens fine, but the script is unable to interact with anything in the browser.

public class Class1
    {
        public IWebDriver driver;
        public String baseURL;

        [SetUp]
        public void SetUp()
        {
            var options = new InternetExplorerOptions();
            options.IntroduceInstabilityByIgnoringProtectedModeSettings = true;
            driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(@"C:\", options);
            baseURL = "http://testURL";
         
        }
        [Test]
        public void AddClass()
        {
            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl(baseURL + "/Pages/Process/Configuration/Class/Details.aspx");    
            driver.FindElement(By.Id("txtDisplayName")).SendKeys("Display Name");

I don't really work on IE so can not comment.
Could you try with FF and Chrome to find out if it is IE only issue?

[ccox]

I tried in Firefox and get basically the same error: TestSelenium.Class1.AddClass:
OpenQA.Selenium.NoSuchElementException : Unable to locate element: {"method":"id","selector":"txtDisplayName"}

This product is only supported in IE.  Do you have any other ideas, Tarun?

Could you keep a break point at this step and check if element is really available -

            driver.FindElement(By.Id("txtDisplayName")).SendKeys("Display Name");

[ccox]

It is still unable to find any of the elements with the break point added and stepping through them.

Is there any way for me to access you application.
You could drop me details at - tkumarb @ gmail.com

I did end up figuring this out.  The page I was on contains iframes.  I had to switch to the iframe for WebDriver to interact with the content.

glad that you were able to solve it :)
