Currently working with selenium remote driver. execution is working fine with Chrome remote driver but not working with IE. IE browser is launched after that NoSuchElementException displayed
similar issue I found at below url, I implemented all the specified solutions still not working for me. NoSuchElementException is occurred during implementation of InternetExplorerDriver in Selenium WebDriver
Launched Selenium grid - hub using: (Machine A) :
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.44.0.jar -role hub
Launched Selenium grid - node using: (Machine B) :
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.44.0.jar -role webdriver -hub http://xx.x.xx.xx:4444/grid/register -port 5566 -browser browserName="internet explorer",version=8.0,platform=WINDOWS -Dwebdriver.ie.driver=\\SeleniumDrivers\IEDriverServer.exe
Code in the test script.(Eclipse)
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
capabilities.setBrowserName("internet explorer");
capabilities.setPlatform(Platform.WINDOWS);
capabilities.setCapability("ie.ensureCleanSession", true);
capabilities.setCapability("forceCreateProcessApi", true);
capabilities.setCapability("ignoreProtectedModeSettings", true);
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "\\SeleniumDrivers\\IEDriverServer.exe");
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://MachineBIPAddress:5566/wd/hub"),capabilities);
//example code.
driver.get("www.google.com");
driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfqw")).sendKeys("test");
driver.findElement(By.name("btnG")).click();
During the Execution:
IE browser is launched in Machine B and then error "org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException:" displayed.
