NoSuchElementException is occurred during implementation of InternetExplorerDriver in Selenium WebDriver

Currently, I am working on WebDriver to invoke IE browser to run the testing. But I received a NoSuchElementException when I tried to run the simple example below.

However, the code just worked fine if I used Chrome Driver or Firefox driver. Any idea or thought would be appreciated.

Jar: selenium-server-standalone-2.5.0.jar

Code:

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
  DesiredCapabilities ieCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
  ieCapabilities.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS, true);
  WebD开发者_如何转开发river driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(ieCapabilities);
  driver.get("www.google.com");
  driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
}

Error message:

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to find element with name == q (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

You've explicitly avoided having to set the Protected Mode settings of IE. That's what the InternetExplorerDriver.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS capability setting does. When you remove this capability setting and set the Protected Mode settings as documented in the project wiki, it seems the problem resolves itself.

Try adding implicitly wait like below. Also as Robert said, your URL should have http://

WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(ieCapabilities);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(90, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

There was a short FAQ entry on the project website (copied circa Selenium 2.9):

The InternetExplorerDriver requires that all security domains are set to the same value (either trusted or untrusted) If you're not in a position to modify the security domains, then you can override the check like this:

DesiredCapabilities capabilities =
DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
capabilities.set(InternetExplorerDriver.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS,
true); 
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(capabilities);

As can be told by the name of the constant, this may introduce flakiness in your tests. If all sites are in the same protection domain, you should be okay.

The parallel C# InvalidOperationException message:

Unexpected error launching Internet Explorer. Protected Mode must be set to the same value (enabled or disabled) for all zones. (NoSuchDriver)

and the C# instead of adjusting IE settings (best guess as of Feb 2016):

var ieOptions = new OpenQA.Selenium.IE.InternetExplorerOptions {
                IntroduceInstabilityByIgnoringProtectedModeSettings = true };
using (var driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(ieOptions))
{

This was all part of issue 1795 on the Selenium issue tracker.
