Selenium Java - Page Object Model

Given the code snippet:

@FindBy(id = "submitBtn")
private WebElement submitButton;

public void clickSubmit() {
    submitButton.click();
}

What will happen if the element with id "submitBtn" is not present on the page when clickSubmit() is called?

AA <code>NoSuchElementException</code> is thrown at runtime.

BNo exception; the click is silently ignored.

CA <code>NullPointerException</code> is thrown because submitButton is null.

DThe test will fail at compile time.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand @FindBy element initialization
@FindBy initializes elements lazily. When submitButton.click() is called, Selenium tries to find the element on the page.
Step 2: Behavior if element is missing
If the element with id "submitBtn" is not found, Selenium throws NoSuchElementException at runtime during the click attempt.
Final Answer:
A NoSuchElementException is thrown at runtime. -> Option A
Quick Check:
Missing element causes NoSuchElementException [OK]

Quick Trick: Missing element triggers NoSuchElementException on action [OK]
