ElementNotVisibleError: element not visible (but which?) about drool HOT 14 CLOSED

i have 3 findElement, so i dont know which i need to fix, because i dont know which is the one which is not visible

from drool.

I would start by looking at the stack

  at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/lgubenis/projects/paper/test/index.coffee:7:7)
  at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/lgubenis/projects/paper/test/index.coffee:1:1)

what is on line 1, line 7?

from drool.

seems to be the first findElement in this case, the stack does not help much because line 7 is the drool.flow which contains the 3 findElement, line 1 requires drool

from drool.

i commented the other 2 findElement (which kind of depend on the first one) and the error continues, so im trying to fix it now

from drool.

sure ok, so when the element is async you will need to do something like this...

driver.wait(function() {
  return driver.findElement(drool.webdriver.By.css('#new-todo')).click()
  .then(function() { return true; })
  .thenCatch(function() {
     return false;
  })
}, 5000);

which will wait until the click works

okay, another question.. if i hide the $el of a Marionette ItemView onRender, should the findElement still find it? (its not finding it and im finding out why)

from drool.

it should be able to find it, however it will not be able to interact with it since it is not visible.

is there an easy way to access the App scope so i could trigger the request by calling it instead of triggering through a click on the element?

i would like to call App.Document.request('addPage')

from drool.

its because the add button is hidden until you scroll near bottom of the page, i could also live with scrolling down before findElement + click, but i dont know how yet, to scroll with the driver

from drool.

i guess its just another findElement with .scrollTo instead of .click

from drool.

driver.executeScript("console.log('wow');")

thx 👍
