org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: no such element

Question

Running Selenium WebDriver 2.37.1

I\'m receiving an intermittent problem when running a test and receive the following error:

org.openqa.selenium.No         


        

Answer 1

I had this same problem when trying to test IE7 on Windows Server 2003. I fixed it by removing Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration. On Server 2003 you can fix it by doing the following:

• Open up Control Panel
• Open Add or Remove Programs
• Open Add/Remove Windows Components (on the left sidebar)
• Uncheck Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration
• Click Next
• Follow through to the end
• Restart Internet Explorer

If using Server 2008 or 2012 the steps will be different but the goal is the same.
