Trying to get XPath of a dropdown item on webpage in NewRelic monitor

Question

This is the code which I'm validating but its not able to get the Logout option under the dropdown. I copied the XPath value of Logout from the dropdown.

This is what the dropdown looks like.

This is the error while validating the same.

TaskTimedOut: Task timed-out waiting for element to be visible using: By(xpath, //*[@id='settingsDd']/li3/a/span)

Actually what I figured out is the correct drop is not getting selected, instead of that there is a tour button which gets clicked & highlighted. I have taken the XPath of the dropdown itself, but the wrong click happens. If any syntax error, let me know. Please assist.

Answer 1

Looks like you're trying to click element to get your list expanded but you should actually hover it.

Instead of .then(function (el) { el.click(); $browser.sleep(4000); }) (line 120)

try this:

.then(function (el) { $browser.actions().mouseMove(el).perform(); $browser.sleep(4000); })

source of idea

Answer 2

well based on your error, element is not visible, try an implicily wait to make sure element is visible before trying to click/hover it (you have to figure out if it´s an actual click or hover as well)

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

Then make sure your xpath is working correctly by getting only 1 result, use the "chropath" extension for chrome, is free.
