Title:

Click an Element Only If It Exists
Test case link: TEST-11442 If the element is found or not

Scenario Overview:

A user navigates to a webpage where an element may or may not be present. The action checks for the element's presence before attempting to click it, ensuring smooth execution.

Steps to Follow:

1. Open the target webpage.
2. Use a stable locator to check if the target element exists.
3. Use the "If Else Condition Handling" action to determine the next step:
   • If: If the element with the given locator is found, execute the actions specified on the right (action numbers) or pass/fail the step.
   • Else: Otherwise, execute another set of actions or pass/fail the step.

Actions:

Parameter	Type	Value
id	element parameter	button1
true	selenium conditional action	2
false	selenium conditional action	fail

Parameter	Type	Value
id	element parameter	button2
click	selenium action	click

Expected Result:

• The element is clicked only if it is present and visible.
• Relevant log messages are generated to provide clear and meaningful information.

Common Errors and Fixes:

• Error: Clicking fails due to an absent element.
  • Fix: Ensure the condition check is performed before attempting to click.
