Description

I just tried to update the java-client version from 5.0.0-BETA9 to 5.0.1 and every time I'm trying to find an element in the screen I get this error.

@luisromanwp Could you share the code sample?

TikhomirovSergey commented

@luisromanwp Also. Could you check dependencies of you project? I suspect that there is some artefact which depends on Selenium version < 3.5.x

Here is my POM:
https://gist.github.com/luisromanwp/7781a94d9cb31567540302ca93394e80

And is failing when I try to find an element like:
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*/android.widget.TextView[contains(@text,'Wallapop')]"))

So, @TikhomirovSergey What should I do to fix it temporally changing dependencies?

TikhomirovSergey commented

@luisromanwp

Could you try
mvn dependency:tree

and check the tree?

@TikhomirovSergey

Finally I made it work doing this in the POM:

https://gist.github.com/luisromanwp/7389cc9f03a722f3cee9345f3347a0cf

It was completely a dependency problem, thanks for your help :)

@luisromanbcn I cannot see your resolution at the pom.xml link you past here.
Could you verify it, please.
I'm taking the same problem

I am getting the same error on Appium when trying to find element

Here is the code snippet

public static MobileElement waitForMobileElementToBeClickable(By by) { try { return (MobileElement) wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(by)); } catch(NoSuchElementException nse) { System.out.println("No such element found !"); return null; } catch(TimeoutException toe) { System.out.println("Timeout exception cought !"); return null; } }

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.HashMap cannot be cast to org.openqa.selenium.WebElement
[testng] at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver.findElement(RemoteWebDriver.java:358)

@ShriD The problem is that wait.until is a Boolean and you’re trying to convert to MobileElement, you should do a findElement after the code passes the wait.until and return it
