How to click a href link using Selenium

java selenium xpath css-selectors webdriverwait

 webDriver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@href='/docs/configuration']")).click();

The above line works fine. Please remove the space after href.

Is that element is visible in the page, if the element is not visible please scroll down the page then perform click action.

Use

driver.findElement(By.linkText("App Configuration")).click()

Other Approaches will be

JavascriptLibrary jsLib = new JavascriptLibrary(); jsLib.callEmbeddedSelenium(selenium, "triggerMouseEventAt", elementToClick,"click", "0,0");

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();", elementToClick);

Use an explicit wait for the element like this:

WebDriverWait wait1 = new WebDriverWait(driver, 500);wait1.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("path of element"))).click();
