How to click a href link using Selenium

问题:

I have a html href link

<a href="/docs/configuration">App Configuration</a>

using Selenium I need to click the link. Currently, I am using below code -

Driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[text()='App Configuration']")).click(); 

But it's not redirecting to the page. I also tried below code -

 Driver.findElement(By.xpath(//a[@href ='/docs/configuration']")).click();

But this is throwing below exception -

org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: Element is not currently visible and so may not be interacted with Command duration or timeout: 13 milliseconds

The link is visible and page is completely loaded. I don't know what's wrong with my code.

回答1:

 webDriver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@href='/docs/configuration']")).click();

The above line works fine. Please remove the space after href.

Is that element is visible in the page, if the element is not visible please scroll down the page then perform click action.

回答2:

Use

driver.findElement(By.linkText("App Configuration")).click()

Other Approaches will be

JavascriptLibrary jsLib = new JavascriptLibrary(); 
jsLib.callEmbeddedSelenium(selenium, "triggerMouseEventAt", elementToClick,"click", "0,0");

or

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();", elementToClick);

回答3:

Use an explicit wait for the element like this:

WebDriverWait wait1 = new WebDriverWait(driver, 500);
wait1.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("path of element"))).click();

How to click on link without using click method in selenum?

This is a tricky question. Follow the below steps:

driver.get("https://www.google.com");
String gmaillink= driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@href='https://mail.google.com/mail/?tab=wm&ogbl']")).getAttribute("href");
System.out.println(gmaillink);
driver.get(gmaillink);

回答5:

Try to use Action class to reach the element

Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.MoveToElement(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[text()='AppConfiguration']")));
action.Perform();

回答6:

Seems like the a tag is hidden. Remember Selenium is not able to interact with hidden element. Javascript is the only option in that case.

By css = By.cssSelector("a[href='/docs/configuration']");
WebElement element = driver.findElement(css);
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();" , element);

回答7:

You can use this method:

For the links if you use linkText(); it is more effective than the any other locator.

driver.findElement(By.linkText("App Configuration")).click();

回答8:

Thi is your code :

Driver.findElement(By.xpath(//a[@href ='/docs/configuration']")).click();

You missed the Quotation mark

it should be as below

Driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@href='/docs/configuration']")).click();

Hope this helps!

You can use xpath as follows, try this one :

driver.findElement(By.xpath("(.//[@href='/docs/configuration'])")).click();
