An UnknownObjectException occurs when:
- Checking the existence (or presence) of an adjacent element (eg followig_sibling, preceding_sibling, etc) and
- The element does not exist.
For example, given the following page, where the div does not have a following sibling:
<html>
<body>
<div id="abc">a</div>
</body>
</html>
An exception occurs when checking if a following sibling exists:
class MyPage
include PageObject
div(:abc, id: 'abc')
end
page = MyPage.new(browser)
page.abc_element.following_sibling.present?
