Selenium can't locate iframe

Question

Selenium fails to locate the iframe by ID and Name.

This is for an automated checkout test on Shopify. The specific issue lies within the payment field. I found the ID and name of the iframe, which is card-fields-number-b1kh6njydiv00000.

iframe Image:

Text Field Image:

Code trials:

driver.switchTo().frame("card-fields-number-b1kh6njydiv00000");
System.out.println("Found iframe");

The error is:

org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchFrameException: No frame element found by name or id card-fields-number-b1kh6njydiv00000

Answer 1

Are you tried to use driver.switchTo().defaultContent(); before switchTo.frame ?

Maybe you aren't out of all the frames

driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
driver.switchTo().frame("card-fields-number-b1kh6njydiv00000");
System.out.println("Found iframe");

Answer 2

My solution was to look for keywords that are the exact same for different dynamic id's. In this case, it was "card-fields-name". I did this by using the XPath locator.

driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//iframe[contains(@id,'card-fields-number')]")));

Answer 3

I guess the frame name or ID is dynamic each time.In that case use index to identify the frame.

int size = driver.findElements(By.tagName("iframe")).size();
  for(int i=0; i<=size; i++){
    driver.switchTo().frame(i); 
    //Do necessary operation here.
    driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
   }

Hope this helps

Answer 4

As per the images you have shared the <iframe> is having dynamic attributes so to locate and switch to the desired <iframe> you have to:

• Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it.

• You can use either of the following solutions:

  • cssSelector:

    new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(By.cssSelector("iframe.card-fields-iframe[id^='card-fields-number-'][src*='shopifycs']")));
    

  • xpath:

    new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(By.xpath("//iframe[@class='card-fields-iframe' and starts-with(@id,'card-fields-number-')][contains(@src, 'shopifycs')]")));

Answer 5

It is possible to use XPath for this I believe. You will need to find the IFrame IWebElement with XPath, and then pass the IWebElement into the SwitchTo().Frame()

var ele = driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//iframe[contains(id, 'card-fields-number')]"));

driver.switchTo().frame(ele);
