How can I click on Primefaces Datatable Table Row with HtmlUnitDriver using Selenium?

Here is a sample code: 

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;

public class PrimeFaces {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        HtmlUnitDriver htmlUnitDriver = new HtmlUnitDriver(true);
        WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(htmlUnitDriver,10);
        htmlUnitDriver.get("http://primefaces-rocks.appspot.com/ui/datatableComplex.jsf");
        htmlUnitDriver.findElementById("j_idt44:j_idt45_row_0").click();
        WebElement until = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("ui-dialog-title-j_idt44:j_idt59")));
    }

}

Here, id: j_idt44:j_idt45_row_0 is for the first row found in this page: http://primefaces-rocks.appspot.com/ui/datatableComplex.jsf

When you click on this row, you will see a window popping up containing an element with id: j_idt44:j_idt59

But with HtmlUnitDriver this element is not visible becuase I think either HtmlUnitDriver is not clicking on the row, or the event listener is not being triggered.

How can I solve this problem?

Your id contains a special character : :

You have to escape it if you want to access to your div:

htmlUnitDriver.findElementByCssSelector("#j_idt44\\:j_idt45_row_0").click();

Hope that helps.

Seems like a timing problem. I used the following code:

driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(40, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("http://primefaces-rocks.appspot.com/ui/datatableComplex.jsf");

driver.findElement(By.id("j_idt44:j_idt45_row_0")).click();
assert driver.findElement(By.id("j_idt44:j_idt59")).isDisplayed();

works perfectly fine for me.

Note that with a 10 second timeout, it fails for me every time.

I think You should go with similar approach that click on button and wait for execution, but first make sure that you are finding right element.

    response_object = htmlUnitDriver.findElementById("j_idt44:j_idt45_row_0").click();
    //test your condition here, and retries until you get the results
    synchronized (respnse_object) {
    page.wait(2000); //wait
    }
