Question

The chrome browser version is Version 115.0.5790.171 and downloaded chrome driver version is 114 [![enter image description here][1]][1]

as driver version 115 is not available.

I'm using the x-path and checked the x-path is correct or not in developer tool under console section it is correct. Even tried absolute path given by Automation Tester but still getting as No such element is found [![enter image description here][2]][2]

[![enter image description here][3]][3]

This x-path is getting due to chrome browser version is 115 and chrome driver version is 114 using due to unavailable.

Could someone please help me [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/RnSVN.png [2]: https://i.sstatic.net/ydrhs.png [3]: https://i.sstatic.net/hXedl.png

2. It might be the case you're trying to find the element which is not in DOM yet, consider using Explicit Wait

3. It might be the case the element is not displayed in the viewport, you might need to maximize the browser window

4. It might be the case you're trying to find the element which resides in an iframe or in Shadow DOM, in this case you first need to switch to that frame or ShadowRoot beforehand.
