Why my test is throwing Exception-Unable to locate element in webdriver?

Question

package testproject;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.*;
          


        

Answer 1

I faced similar problem, issue resolved after setting timeout.

Webdriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(50, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

Not sure whats the role of timeout here though.
