I've been working on a company project involving Selenium
and I keep getting NoSuchElementException
despite putting xpath
, cssSelector
and linkText
. Below is my program.
NewCard.java
public class NewCard {
public static void createTopUpRequestNewCard(WebDriver driver) {
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
WebElement utilityTopUp = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//div[@id='wrapper']/div/ul/li[9]/a")));
utilityTopUp.click();
WebElement createTopUpNewCard = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//div[@id='wrapper']/div/div/ul/li[2]/a")));
createTopUpNewCard.click();
}
}
Error StackTrace
org.openqa.selenium.TimeoutException: Expected condition failed: waiting for visibility of element located by By.xpath: //div[@id='wrapper']/div/ul/li[9]/a (tried for 30 second(s) with 500 milliseconds interval)

Screenshot of Create Top Up New Card
locators
The screenshots above are the locators of the 2 elements I'm interacting respectively. I used Selenium IDE
to record my program. Nevertheless, despite trying all these locators, I keep getting the NoSuchElementException
. May I know how to solve these recurring issues?
