Question

I have an eCommerce website where, when I try to place an Order where it redirects to a Paypal Page. When I Login as a Paypal user, it redirects to another checkout screen where

Answer 1

In this situations problem might be one of the two below reasons.

1.If its redirecting to new window and without switching to new window you cannot access any locator of new window. You can use the below code to switch window

 String Parent_Window = driver.getWindowHandle(); 
 //Get Parent window handle befor child window opens
 String winHandleBefore = _driver.getWindowHandle();
 for (String winHandle : _driver.getWindowHandles()) {
   // Switch to child window
   if( Parent_Window != winHandle )
   driver.switchTo().window(winHandle);
 }

Perform the action in child window and switch back to parent window.

2. If it is not redirecting to new window and your locator is correct then the problem might be that , frame you are looking for is the child of some other frame. In that case you may have to switch to parent frame first and then to child frame.

Hope this will work.
