for loop “index was out of range” c# webdriver

Question

Answer 1

the first one gets all of your elements by tag name ...let's assume 5.

in the loop, your driver get's all the elements by css selector, and you might have a different number here. let's say 4.

then, you might be trying to set the fifth element in a four element array. boom.

Easiest fix to debug:

int linkCount = driver.FindElements(By.TagName("a")).Count;
string[] links = new string[linkCount];
// WRITE OUT HOM MANY links you have

for (int i = 0; i < linkCount; i++)
{
    List linksToClick = driver.FindElements(By.CssSelector("a[href]")).ToList();
    // ASSERT THAT YOU HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT HERE
    If (links.Count != linksToClick.Count)
         // your logic here

    links[i] = linksToClick[i].GetAttribute("href");
}
