Getting a stale element Exception

+1 vote

                            Utils to select multi select value from drop down 

Can someone please let me know what needs to be done for the second value to be selected from the drop down list.

I assume some change needs to be made in the multiselectdropdown method 

public void multiselectdropdown(By locator,String value)

{

List<WebElement> dropdownoptions = driver.findElements(locator);

int size = dropdownoptions.size();

System.out.println("Get the size of options:"+ size);

String ar[] = value.split(",");


for(int i=0;i<ar.length;i++)

{

for(int j=0;j<dropdownoptions.size();j++)

{

String text = dropdownoptions.get(i).getText();

System.out.println(text);

try

{

if(!text.isEmpty())

{

if(text.equals(ar[i]))

{

System.out.println("Get the options:"+ar[i]);

dropdownoptions.get(j).click();

}

}

}catch(Exception e)

{


}


                Page: in the method calling the same  parameters more than once

public void pipeline(String fieldvalue,String savepipe)

{

elementutils.multiselectdropdown(selectfieldsvalueselection, fieldvalue);

elementutils.multiselectdropdown(selectfieldsvalueselection, fieldvalue);


}


Test Page using the Data Provider and calling the dataprovider in the test class

@DataProvider

public Object[][] dealpipeline()

{

Object data[][] = ExcelUtil.getTestData(AppConstants.Deal_Pipeline_Sheet_Name);

return data;

}

@Test(priority=10,dataProvider="dealpipeline")

public void getdealspipelineinfo(String selectfields,String savepipelineas)

{

dealspage.pipeline(selectfields,  savepipelineas);

}

Hi, @Sandhya,

Could you please mention at which line of your code you are facing the stale element Exception error?

second line - elementutils.multiselectdropdown(selectfieldsvalueselection, fieldvalue);

added the wait before the second line but still the same

Hey, @Sandhya

Okay as you have metioned in getting an exception, but what is the exact exception or error you are facing? Please post that. 

StaleElementReferenceException: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document

Hi. @sandhya, 

To resolve this type of error, you can try using this code snippet:

bool staleElement = true; 

while(staleElement){

  try{

     driver.FindElement(By.XPath(link_click), 10).Click();

     staleElement = false;


  } catch(StaleElementReferenceException e){

    staleElement = true;

  }

}
does not work

Hello, @Sandhya

Well..instaed of value if u pass as index then it's easy to parameterize that..so the question here is do u really req to pass the values or index is also fine?

Select by index or value

iam not using select over here my tag is div  in the code
Could you please post your code snippet?
