I have tried using xpath and element is not getting selected using xpath. 

<input id="_id0:logon:USERNAME" name="_id0:logon:USERNAME" type="text">

xpath is //input[@id='_id0:logon:USERNAME'] but output is no matching nodes.PFA screenshot below enter image description here

Solution

  • The issue looks like coming from the fact the login is in an iframe - look at your first screenshot, the document starts with html > body > frame. So switching to it should make the rest of yoyr sample code work:

    Select Frame     a_locator_for_that_iframe
