not able to find iframe in protractor tests

I am trying to find an element which is within iframe. So i try to switch to iframe.

The iframe in html:

<iframe id="id_of_iframe"  data-app-id="com.s-h.ph.pr" class="external-app ng-scope ng-isolate-scope" ng-if="!vm.appDisabled"  ng-attr-sandbox="{{vm.iframeConfig.sandbox ? vm.iframeConfig.sandbox : ''}}" tp-onload="vm.sendCurrentRouteToIFrame()" style="border: none; border-width: 0; height: 100%; width: 100%; display: block;" sandbox="allow-forms allow-popups allow-pointer-lock allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-modals"></iframe>

code used:

 browser.switchTo().frame('id_of_iframe');

I get the following error:

 Failed: no such frame
      (Session info: chrome=61.0.3163.100)
      (Driver info: chromedriver=2.32.498550 (9dec58e66c31bcc53a9ce3c7226f0c1c58

I am using the following versions : "protractor": "5.1.2", "jasmine": "2.8.0" webdriver-manager 12.0.6

Any idea how to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance.

WebDriver's driver.switchTo().frame() method takes one of the three possible arguments:

  1. Number (Index of the iframe)
  2. Name or ID (if iframe has ID or Name attribute)
  3. WebElement (if iframe needs to be identified by any custom logic)

Example:

Consider below iframes are available in your DOM.

Iframe1:

<iframe name="iframe1" id="iframe_1" class="iframe_1">
</iframe>

Iframe2:

<iframe name="iframe2" id="iframe_2" class="iframe_2">
</iframe>

Iframe3:

<iframe name="iframe3" id="iframe_3" class="iframe_3">
</iframe>

Using Index:

  • browser.switchTo().frame(0) - This will switch to iframe1
  • browser.switchTo().frame(1) - This will switch to iframe2
  • browser.switchTo().frame(2) - This will switch to iframe3

Name or ID:

  • browser.switchTo().frame("iframe1") or browser.switchTo().frame("iframe_1") - This will switch to iframe1
  • browser.switchTo().frame("iframe2") or browser.switchTo().frame("iframe_2") - This will switch to iframe2
  • browser.switchTo().frame("iframe3") or browser.switchTo().frame("iframe_3") - This will switch to iframe3

WebElement

  • browser.switchTo().frame(element(by.tagName("iframe")).getWebElement()) or browser.switchTo().frame(element(by.css(".iframe_1")).getWebElement()) - This will switch to iframe1
  • browser.switchTo().frame(element(by.css(".iframe_2")).getWebElement()) or browser.switchTo().frame(element(by.xpath(".//iframe[@id='iframe_2']")).getWebElement()) - This will switch to iframe2

Can you please try with passing index by giving 

browser.switchTo().frame("index of the frame");

This is the most simple one and may be we can figure out whether it was an issue with id or something else. Because the id you have given is straight forward and I don't see a reason why it should fail

If there is a frame use xpath

//iframe[@data-app-id='com.s-h.ph.pr']

But still I suggest you first have to used id
