Selenium WebdriverTimeoutException although the page is already loaded

Question

I'm new to Selenium and try to automatically open a website in Full Screen mode.

• The website has a Login which is already working with Selenium.
• After the login only one button has to be pressed.

Hereby an WebdriverTimoutException is thrown in the second last line.

• The InnerException says NoSuchElementException.
• But when I open the web console, I can see the button.

IWebDriver driver = new EdgeDriver(System.IO.Directory.GetParent(System.IO.Directory.GetParent(Environment.CurrentDirectory).ToString()).ToString() + "\\webdriver");

driver.Navigate().GoToUrl(@"http://examplehomepage.com");

driver.FindElement(By.Id("username")).SendKeys("abc");
driver.FindElement(By.Id("password")).SendKeys("password123");
driver.FindElement(By.TagName("button")).Click();

driver.Manage().Window.FullScreen();

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));

IWebElement element = wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementToBeClickable(By.TagName("button")));

element.Click();

I tried it with:

• Edge (85.0.564.44)
• Chrome (85.0.4183.83)
• Firefox(80.0.1).

Answer 1

1. You can use sleep to delay the interaction
2. You are using ElementToBeClickable. You should also use ElementToBeVisible and also check whether element is enabled as well from isEnabled function.
