Selenium WD | Trying to use an 'If' statement with logical 'or'

I have a step in my test that goes into several html pages and looks for an element on the screen. That element can have 2 different CSS class names while looking the same in the website (visually speaking) , I have to use an if statement with a logical 'or' to identify them

if (Status == driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".inlineblock.redClockBigIcon.middle.isOpenExchBig-2")) || Status == driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".inlineblock.redClockBigIcon.middle.isOpenExchBig-1")));
System.out.println("Stock is closed");)

I expected that if one of the 2 elements would appear, the Eclipse would

recognize it. Well - The second element out of the 2 appeared - and for some reason I've got an exception error. The if statement gave attention only to the first condition in the if, and ignored the second.

org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: no such element:

locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":".inlineblock.redClockBigIcon.middle.isOpenExchBig-2"}Unable to

How can I make the || to work in this 'if' statement? Thanks

You can try using try catch block:

boolean isFirstElemPresent = true;

try{       
      driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".inlineblock.redClockBigIcon.middle.isOpenExchBig-1"));    
}catch (NoSuchElementException e){
    isFirstElemPresent = false;
}

if(isFirstElemPresent == false)
     driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".inlineblock.redClockBigIcon.middle.isOpenExchBig-2"));

Or

To avoid try catch block, use below code snap:

List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By.className("redClockBigIcon"));   

if (elements.size() == 0) {
    System.out.println("Element is not present");
} else {
    System.out.println("Element is present");
}

In your above logic, you have Status which is an already existing WebElement that you're comparing against another Webelement that you're looking up. I don't think this is what your intention was so I'm going to make some assumptions in a solution.

First: Find all of the elements that might exist with your desired selector (Note I'm using findElements instead of findElement)

List<WebElement> clockIconThingies = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector(".inlineblock.redClockBigIcon.middle.isOpenExchBig-2, .inlineblock.redClockBigIcon.middle.isOpenExchBig-1"));

Second: Check if that found anything

if(clockIconThingies.size() > 0)
{
    System.out.println("Stock is closed");
}

Alternatively for your css selector, from the image it looks like you might not need to do an or at all and just look for the class redClockBigIcon like this:

List<WebElement> clockIconThingies = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector(".redClockBigIcon"));
