Selenium dhtmlxtree NoSuchElementException in Chrome Java

Question

I could reach all elements by driver.findElement() function. Tree elements were created using dhtmlx library and when I try to reach them I get NoSuchElementException.

I tried to reach by id, xpath, class, text, etc. but none of them worked for me. I also tried implicit waiting and Thread.sleep() methods but the result is the same.

 > <tr> <td class="standartTreeImage"> <img border="0" align="absmiddle"
    > style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; width: 18px; height: 18px;"
    > src="http://marduk:5543/atlas/themes/third_party/dhtmlx/dhtmlxTree/codebase/imgs/vse_datasources/plus3.gif">
    > </td> <td width="20px" style="display: none;"> <img align="absmiddle"
    > src="http://marduk:5543/atlas/themes/third_party/dhtmlx/dhtmlxTree/codebase/imgs/vse_datasources/iconUncheckAll.gif"
    > style="width: 16px; height: 16px;"> </td> <td
    > class="standartTreeImage" style="width: 18px;"> <img border="0"
    > align="absmiddle" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; width: 18px;
    > height: 18px;"
    > src="http://marduk:5543/atlas/themes/third_party/dhtmlx/dhtmlxTree/codebase/imgs/vse_datasources/folderClosed.gif">
    > </td> <td class="standartTreeRow" nowrap="" style="width: 100%;
    > font-size: 10pt; cursor: pointer;"> <span class="standartTreeRow"
    > style="padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;">hr-istanbul [15]</span>
    > </td> </tr>

For example one of them is this: I need to click the first td. Only locator is the image but I can not access the element .. NoSuchElementException.

element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//img[contains(@src,'http://marduk:5543/atlas/themes/third_party/dhtmlx/dhtmlxTree/codebase/imgs/vse_datasources/plus3.gif')]"));

Also tried to reach last column element it didnt work either.

element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(text(), 'hr-istanbul [15]')]"));

Some of them even dont contain any id but they got unique text field etc. to locate them . I can't share as I mentioned , will try to share part of them — Berkay Yılmaz, Aug 18 '16 at 10:29

If you are getting NoSuchElementException as your provided exception, There may be following reasons :-

May be you are locating with incorrect locator, So you need to share HTML for better locator solution.
May be when you are going to find element, it would not be present on the DOM, So you should implement WebDriverWait to wait until element visible as below :-
```
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
WebElement el = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(byObject));
```

May be this element is inside any frame or iframe. If it is, you need to switch that frame or iframe before finding the element as below :-

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);

//Find frame or iframe and switch
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt("your frame id or name"));

//Now find the element 
WebElement el = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(byObject));

//Once all your stuff done with this frame need to switch back to default
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();

Thanks for advice. I shared the html. I tried your solution but doesn't work. It is also not inside iframe — Berkay Yılmaz, Aug 18 '16 at 14:17
You are trying to locate `minus3.gif` while in your provided HTML it shows `plus3.gif`???? I think you need to correct your locator..:) — Saurabh Gaur, Aug 18 '16 at 17:28
Sorry my bad .. the problem is independent from it. I edited but nothing changed . Also edited the question — Berkay Yılmaz, Aug 19 '16 at 05:46
Did you tried to locate `td` instead as `By.className("standartTreeImage")`?? — Saurabh Gaur, Aug 20 '16 at 06:32
