Webdriverjs/protractor iframe switching not work

One of my automation case has been blocked for more than 1 week, there is a lazy loaded iframe (clicking a link will insert this iframe into DOM), my code is like below:

driver.get("my url");
driver.findElement(By.linkText('REGISTER')).click();
driver.wait(function() {
    console.log("WAITING FOR EXTERNAL IFRAME");
    return driver.findElement(By.css("div#main-container > iframe")).isDisplayed();
}, 8000, "WAIT TIMEOUT!!!!");
driver.switchTo().frame(1); // The iframe has no id and I have no control
// Manipulating in the iframe

Whenever I manually do the operation above, I am 100% sure after clicking the "REGISTER" button, there are totally two iframes on the page, i.e. if I do document.getElementsByTagName("iframe"), I can get two iframes! But during the automation running, it just always fails, I really don't know why, and more important, I did see debug tips for protractor and webdriverjs, however, I didn't figure out a good way to do the DOM query in the REPL, all because of webdriverjs' promise control flow, any experienced debugging tips here are highly appreciated!!

You can handle iFrame using three methods:

  1. driver.switchTo().frame(1);
  2. driver.switchTo().default; - it will switch to the default iframe if its id isn't provided
  3. driver.switchTo().index(0); - it will switch to default first index

Updated:There are 2 spaces in HTML with iframe : in of iframe, out of iframe.In of iframe there is a child document, child head, child body. When we have a iframe or many iframe, we want to do smt in iframe, we can: Using Element (widely used) or Using Index

  1. Option 1

driver = browser.driver;

var iframeElement = element(by.css('path_to_iframe');

browser.switchTo().frame(iframeElement.getWebElement());

driver.findElement(by.tagName('body')).click();  

driver.findElement(by.tagName('body')).sendKeys(string);
  1. Option 2 With first iframe: index is 0, second iframe index is 1, and go on...

browser.switchTo().frame(0);

browser.switchTo().frame(1);

Every done with a iframe, you need to switch out of the iframe. you need :

browser.switchTo().defaultContent();

I work in Selenium-java. The following code worked perfectly for me.

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("https://developer.autodesk.com/");

driver.findElement(By.id("btn_oxygen_registration")).click();

WebElement iframe = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//iframe[contains(@src,'https://accounts.autodesk.com/register')]"));
driver.switchTo().frame(iframe);
driver.findElement(By.id("firstname_str")).sendKeys("EnterUsername");

Let me know if this helps you.
