How to click the close image in a modal window using Junit in selenium

Question

I am converting the Selenium IDE code to Selenium webdriver. I am using Junit and I am very new to Junit and chromedriver.I am trying to click and close the (x) image in a modal window and tried the following line of code

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//img[contains(@src,'//baseUrl/Images/Icons/16x16/close.png')]"));

The element has img class, title and src.

Could somebody help to fix this line of code to close the modal window. Thanks

Answer 1

Simply using .click()

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//img[contains(@src,'//baseUrl/Images/Icons/16x16/close.png')]")).click();

Also, I am not sure about the syntax for JUnit. I have used selenium web driver with Python only so the syntax might be different. But the click() method is what you are really looking for.

You might want to get the xpath of close button and use click() method on it.

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//img[contains(@src,'//baseUrl/Images/Icons/16x16/close.png')")).click();

It sounds like it's a timing issue. Just add a wait so that the dialog has a chance to be displayed and then click it.

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 5);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("div#ModalDialog img.modalClose"))).click();
