Selenium WebDriver using this test if element is present

asked in Software Testing by tester (1,550 points)

is there a way how to test if an element is present? Any findElement method would end in an exception, but that is not what I want, because it can be that an element is not present and that is okay, that is not a fail of the test, so an exception can not be the solution.


public static class WebDriverExtensions

        if (timeoutInSeconds > 0)
            return wait.Until(drv => drv.FindElement(by));
    return driver.FindElement(by);

Use findElements instead of findElement.

findElements will return an empty list if no matching elements are found instead of an exception.

To check that an element is present, you could try this

Boolean isPresent = driver.findElements(By.yourLocator).size()<0

This will return false if the element is not found or true if at least one element is found.
