Question:

Click on a link triggers an operation that creates new element. However, calling driver.findElement(By.id("")) after click returns does not find it.

I have tried the following code to wait for the element to appear.

wait.until(new ExpectedCondition() { public Boolean apply(WebDriver webDriver) { System.out.println("Searching ..."); return webDriver.findElement(By.id("itemType1")) != null; } });

But I still can't find it until timeout.

You can maybe use the element.isDisplayed()

Så do it like this:

WebElement jrnrText = driver.findElement(By.id("id")) if(jrnrText.isDisplayed()){ wait.until(presenceOfElementLocated(BY.id]("id"))) } Function<WebDriver, WebElement> presenceOfElementLocated(final By locator) { return new Function<WebDriver, WebElement>() { public WebElement apply(WebDriver driver) { return driver.findElement(locator) } } }
