Assert Absence of element in the web page, giving NoSuchElementException

Question

Need to assert that there is no such element in the webpage, When tried with fieldValueBox.isDisplayed(); instead of "false" its throwing "NoSuchElementFound" exception. Right now i was using 'try catch' and making decision in 'catch'

Answer 1

If the element is not on the page, then you will get 'NoSuchElementFound' exception. You can try checking that the number of elements with the locator is zero:

private boolean elementNotOnPage(){
    boolean elementIsNotOnPage = false;

    List<WebElement> element = driver.findElements(yourLocator);

    if(element.size() == 0){
        elementIsNotOnPage = true;
    }

    return elementIsNotOnPage;

}
