org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException even if the xpath is correct and wait was added

Question

I am using selenium-java-2.53.jar to hit a website and perform a search operation. After the serach results come, I need to read the data. The website url is https://340bopais.hrsa.gov/coveredentitysearch . I put a value in the textbox for 340B ID as CH02123B and click 'Search'. After this the results are shown in a table. Till here, it works fine with selenium. But after this, when I try to read the data by using driver.findElement and By.xpath , I get an exception as org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: no such element: Unable to locate element.

Below is the part of the HTML source from the search page which comes after I hit Search:

<tr class="rgRow" valign="top" id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_CoveredEntitySearchGrid_ctl00__0" role="row">
        <td role="gridcell"><input id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_CoveredEntitySearchGrid_ctl00_ctl04_ClientSelectColumnSelectCheckBox" type="checkbox" name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$CoveredEntitySearchGrid$ctl00$ctl04$ClientSelectColumnSelectCheckBox" title="Select/Deselect Row" role="checkbox" aria-label="ClientSelectColumn checkbox" aria-checked="false"></td><td role="gridcell"><a title="CH02123B" href="cedetails/12136">CH02123B</a></td>
        <td role="gridcell">CH</td>
        <td role="gridcell">NEIGHBORHOOD HEALTH SERVICES CORPORATION</td>
        <td role="gridcell">Neighborhood Health Center The Healthy Place</td>
        <td role="gridcell">427 Darrow Ave</td>
        <td role="gridcell">Plainfield</td>
        <td role="gridcell">NJ</td>
        <td role="gridcell">10/01/2004</td>
        <td role="gridcell">&nbsp;</td>
        <td role="gridcell">02/13/2017</td>
</tr>

I want to read the TD which has content as 'NEIGHBORHOOD HEALTH SERVICES CORPORATION'. I got the Xpath from Chrome and used the same in my code. Still I get the exception. I have tried many combinations , but all in vain.

Below is my code:

StackApplication.class.getClassLoader().getResource("driver/chromedriver.exe").getFile();
WebDriver driverHL = new ChromeDriver();
driverHL.navigate().to("https://340bopais.hrsa.gov/coveredentitysearch"); 
driverHL.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"ContentPlaceHolder1_ceSearchCtrl_txt340BID\"]")).sendKeys("CH02123B");
driverHL.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"btnSearch\"]")).click() ; 
WebDriverWait myDynamicElement = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
myDynamicElement.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//tr[@id=\"ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_CoveredEntitySearchGrid_ctl00__0\"]/td[4]")));
driverHL.findElement(By.xpath("//tr[@id=\"ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_CoveredEntitySearchGrid_ctl00__0\"]/td[4]"));

Complete stack trace of the exception (with some specific details overriden):

Answer 1

More elaborative and easy to manage in future the reference code to get the desired texts td is below :

WebElement allItems = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//tr[@class='rgRow' and contains(@id,'CoveredEntitySearchGrid')]"));
    List<WebElement> allTd = allItems.findElements(By.tagName("td"));
    String stringToGet = "NEIGHBORHOOD HEALTH SERVICES CORPORATION"; 

    for(WebElement elm : allTd){
        if(elm.getText().equalsIgnoreCase(stringToGet)){
            System.out.println(elm.getText());
            break;
        }
    }

or use the below instead of for loop.

System.out.println(allTd.get(3).getText());

Answer 2

Your code works fine for me, although I had to change this line...

WebDriverWait myDynamicElement = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);

to

WebDriverWait myDynamicElement = new WebDriverWait(driverHL, 30);

Answer 3

As per the HTML you have provided to read the TD which has content as NEIGHBORHOOD HEALTH SERVICES CORPORATION you can try the following line of code :

new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//tr[@class='rgRow' and contains(@id,'CoveredEntitySearchGrid')]//following::td[4]")));
