Answer 1

@Awals, can you please share the code snippet where you are facing this error? Although, these type of errors occur when webdriver isn't able to locate a specific element. So for that you can either your thread.sleep() or implicit_wait or explicit_wait. These methods usually resolves the issue.

Please check and guide me accrodingly

@Awals, your screenshot isn't clear. Please share the code itself by writing it in comment.

Hi Awais,  I think the element which is throwing this error is dynamically loaded and you might need to use explicit_wait in order to wait until the element is displayed or load. Try using following wait command before using find_element method:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(webDriver, timeoutInSeconds);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id<locator>));

or

wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id<locator>));

this is the code i used, but still it didn't worked. P.S i there is no "id locator option" in the email.

public void    veriCode(){
                long timeoutInSeconds = 5;
                WebDriver webDriver = null;
                WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(webDriver, timeoutInSeconds);
                wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector(".body_text_color > blockquote:nth-child(6) > b:nth-child(1)")));
                String verCode = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//html/body/table/tbody/tr/td/center/div/table[2]/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td/blockquote/b")).getText();
                ArrayList<String> tabs = new ArrayList<>(driver.getWindowHandles());
                driver.switchTo().window(tabs.get(0));
                driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"bg_imgg\"]/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/input")).sendKeys(verCode);
            }

this is the exception

@Awais, is your issue resolved? "id locator option" is not an option in your html file, it is the Id of the desired element which you which to locate.  

wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id<locator>));

##In above command, in place of locator you use the ID of the element you want to locate.
