Challenge - 5 Problems

❓ Predict Output

What is the output of this Selenium Java click action code?

Consider the following Selenium Java code snippet that tries to click a button. What will be the output or result of this test execution?

Selenium Java

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://example.com");
WebElement button = driver.findElement(By.id("submitBtn"));
button.click();
System.out.println("Clicked successfully");

A TimeoutException waiting for page load

B NoSuchElementException at findElement

C Clicked successfully

D ElementNotInteractableException at click

💡 Hint

Assume the element with id 'submitBtn' exists and is visible on the page.

The code finds the button by its id and clicks it. Since the element exists and is interactable, the click succeeds and the print statement runs.

❓ assertion

intermediate

Which assertion correctly verifies a button was clicked?

After clicking a button, you want to assert that a confirmation message with id 'confirmMsg' is displayed. Which assertion is correct in Selenium Java?

Selenium Java

WebElement confirmMsg = driver.findElement(By.id("confirmMsg"));

A assertTrue(confirmMsg.isDisplayed());

B assertEquals(confirmMsg.getText(), "");

C assertFalse(confirmMsg.isDisplayed());

D assertNull(confirmMsg);

💡 Hint

The confirmation message should be visible after clicking.

assertTrue(confirmMsg.isDisplayed()) checks that the element is visible, which confirms the button click triggered the message.

❓ locator

advanced

Which locator is best to click a button with text 'Submit'?

You want to click a button that has the visible text 'Submit'. Which locator is the best practice in Selenium Java?

A By.id("submit")

B By.xpath("//button[text()='Submit']")

C By.cssSelector("button:contains('Submit')")

D By.className("submit-btn")

💡 Hint

The button has no id or class, only visible text.

XPath with exact text match is reliable when id or class is missing. CSS :contains() is not valid in Selenium.

🔧 Debug

advanced

Why does this click action throw ElementNotInteractableException?

Given this code snippet, why does the click fail with ElementNotInteractableException? WebElement button = driver.findElement(By.id("hiddenBtn")); button.click();

A The button is present but not visible or enabled on the page

B The driver has not navigated to any page yet

C The locator By.id("hiddenBtn") is incorrect

D The click() method is deprecated and cannot be used

💡 Hint

ElementNotInteractableException means the element cannot be clicked because of its state.

The element exists but is hidden or disabled, so Selenium cannot interact with it, causing the exception.

❓ framework

Which Selenium Java code snippet correctly waits and clicks a button?

You want to wait up to 10 seconds for a button with id 'loadBtn' to be clickable, then click it. Which code snippet is correct?

A driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(Duration.ofSeconds(10)); driver.findElement(By.id("loadBtn")).click();

B driver.findElement(By.id("loadBtn")).click(); Thread.sleep(10000);

C new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("loadBtn"))).click();

D new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10)).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("loadBtn"))).click();

💡 Hint

Use explicit wait for clickable condition before clicking.

Option D uses explicit wait for elementToBeClickable and then clicks, which is best practice. Option D waits after clicking, which is wrong. Option D waits for visibility but not clickability. Option D sets implicit wait but does not wait for clickability explicitly.
