nonSuchElementException in toggling the checkbox of editor

#1

when command for unchecking the checkbox of toggle editor is executed ,error occurs

#2

hey @stutijain578 ,
Sometimes it happen is the element we want to select is out of the window and selenium doesn’t finds it.
So , just a try scroll down to that element and then select. To scroll , search about this for selenium on internet.

if still it doesn’t works , then you might be providing the wrong element id to get your element , then check that once.

I hope it helps.

#3

it is not working even on scrolling and id is also correct

#4

hey @stutijain578 ,
can you please provide me link to your code , so that i can give it a try and check what actually the problem you are stuck at.

hey @stutijain578 ,
i just ran your code by making slight changes based on this code and it ran absolutely fine.

Have a look at this and let me know , if you get stucked somewhere.

What i found in your code is , your scrolling is not working properly and hence it is unable to click the required toggle option.

#7

can you please explain the new commands in the code you shared which were not taught by Mohit bhaiya ?

#8

hey @stutijain578 ,
before i explain you about that work, kindly try it once by yourself .
Search about them on google , implement them , and experiment them . If still stucked then i will surely help you out.

Our Goal is to help you learn and understand.
So once try them.

#9

in line 28 whose xpath have you mentioned ?

#10

i wanted to get the toggle button to be in between the window. So i just did that manually first and took the bottom element xpath and used that in automation.
so its that.
You can change it too , there is no problem in that.
