  • Why did you tag your question with PHP? Php builds your html page?

  • I can't locate the flash message as it was showing after page load. Why is this a problem? Can you add some your code trials? I do not see any potential problem to catch flash message.

As per your screen shot there is a pre-defined text that fills your flash message. So what you could do is to set up FluentWait object that would use ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(...).

Like:

wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated
                   (By.xpath("//*[text()='TEXT_OF_FLASH_MESSAGE']")));

Make sure you have configured reasonably small polling interval so that you will catch even fast flash messages.

Put that waiter right after the line that brings you to the page that loads that flash-message.
