I am really grateful to you that you created this video because no one else on YouTube has told the solution to this exception and also the method told by you is the most easiest. I want to tell you that this was the only exception in selenium which I did not knew how to handle and today you solved my only issue in selenium.

Thank you sir.

[rajiniyalamarthy]

Very nice explanation, thank you!! I have watched many videos on youtube and read many blogs on StaleElementException, everyone has explained what does it mean but no one has explained how to handle it.This is the only video which made all my doubts clear about StaleElementException.Thanks so much for explaining along with practical example.

[meghasandesam]

without this there is no selenium interview, unfortunately i dint answer this question and lost my interview. now i understood in very easy format. tq verymuch sir

[rishikeshkshatriya]

Thank you so much, your idea helped fix the issue. The most easiest and straightforward fix. All other videos I watched did not make sense to me and were not of much help. maybe they are too smart or I am too low to understand what the intention was. either way, thank you again.

[divekshekhar]

Can we handle through POM Frame work?, by using syntax : @findelement(locatername =''locatervalue');
Plz clarify me about it.

[jyothijoy]

Sir I m trying to automate make my trip site city drop-down but I m not able to automate sir.. I m getting stale exception... Will u plz send me code regarding it

[sandeepambati]

How can we use try catch solution in loop for the below code?

Please explain




int size = footer.size();

for(int i = 0;i<size;i++) {
footer.get(i).click();
Thread.sleep(2000);
String tabTitle = driver.getTitle();

Thread.sleep(1000);
{
driver.navigate().back();
}

}

[mayanknandurkar]

Very Nice.😎.... Plz provide that website link🤟

[sivarajan]

What if we have a sequence of scripts that all throw this exception.how we can handle those kind of things

[naaz]

sir by page factory how can we handle it?

[chennakesav]

I understand the workaround for the stale exception. But In mycase, we are using page objects so xpaths are assigned to a variable and we will be using that variable in multiple test cases.

do you have any suggestion to me to handle this exception?

[youtubecritic]

it generates stale reference error after 30 min.WHy?

[KatRollo]

Main reason why a lot of test automation suites are peppered with try-catch blocks with repetitive code.

Try looking into ExpectedConditions.refresh() instead.


Or better yet, use lamba expressions.
