Selenium Type method test method failed

0 votes

I m using a JSP page in which I'm inputting the a text field. Below u can see the code

    <table>
    <tr>
        <td><input type="text" id="searchText" name="searchInput"/></td>
    </tr>
    </table>

Then I executed the test case which will verify the search input text.Below is the code

public class TestCaseExample extends SeleneseTestBase {

    @Before
    public void setup() {

       WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(new FirefoxBinary(new File(
       "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mozilla Firefox 3.6\\firefox.exe")), new   FirefoxProfile());

        String baseUrl = "http://localhost:8080/RecipeProject/";
        selenium = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver, baseUrl);
     }

    @Test
    public void testCaseExample() {
       verifyTrue(selenium.isElementPresent("searchText"));
       selenium.type("searchText", "pepper");
     }
}

The verifyTrue test return true. However, selenium.type test failed with this error: com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleniumException: Element searchText not found

Please help in this matter.

In this matter ur 1st paramter should be selector i.e your searchText is not a valid xpath or CSS.
Use like selenium.type("css=input#searchText", "pepper");
Also check for the Selenium version as selenium.type(String,String) is from the Selenium 1 API.
If Selenium 2, you should use this WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("searchText")) and use element.sendKeys("pepper");
