menu click not working using selenium webdriver through java

Question

My code is below, I am having problems with 'Production Plan', I need to be able to click the Production Plan link but it doesn't work.

 List<WebElement> ddOpts = driver.findElements(By.xpath("html/body/div[4]"));
 ArrayList<String> links = new ArrayList<String>();
 for(WebElement we : ddOpts) {
 //System.out.println(we.getText());
 links.add(we.getText());
 System.out.println(links);
 if(we.getText().contains("Production Plan")) {
 we.sendKeys("Production Plan");
 we.click();
 }

Answer 1

Your WebElements in ddOpts list aren't an anchor tags but divs. I don't know how does the page look, but it seems you might thought another xpath. Something like:

List<WebElement> ddOpts = driver.findElements(By.xpath("html/body/div/a[4]"));

or

List<WebElement> ddOpts = driver.findElements(By.xpath("html/body/div[4]/a"));

Or maybe if it is a select option, use a Select object

Select mySelect = new Select(driver.findElements(By.xpath("html/body/div[4]")));
mySelect.selectByVisibleText("Production Plan");

Answer 2

I didn't understand why your trying to sendKeys().

But If you are trying to click on a link, following will work :

WebElement link = driver.findElement(By.PartialLinkText("Production Plan"));
link.click();

or

You can also try with Explicit wait :

new WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.PartialLinkText("Production Plan"))).click();
