Selenium : DOM element is not searchable using @FindBy name

I'm stuck in searching DOM Element by Selenium. DOM has name="AddBeverageBtn"

Page class:

public class MainPage extends BasePage {

    @FindBy(name="AddBeverageBtn")
    private WebElement buttonAdd ;

However it fails with the reason it can't be find by css selector

Error:

org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":"*[name='AddBeverageBtn']"}
  (Session info: chrome=109.0.5414.120)

As an alternative you can use either of the following FindBy() strategies:

  • Using cssSelector:

    @FindBy(css = "a.btn.btn-primary.btn-sm.mb-3[name='AddBeverageBtn'][href^='showNewForm']")
private WebElement buttonAdd;

  • Using xpath:

    @FindBy(xpath = "//a[@class='btn btn-primary btn-sm mb-3' and @name='AddBeverageBtn'][contains(@href, 'showNewForm') and normalize-space()='Add Beverage']")
private WebElement buttonAdd;
