For clicking a webelement I used properties: html id , html tag and index. And it worked successfully. And after a series of steps, I am trying to click the same webelement with same properties in same action or test.. But it doesn't work..

I am using uft 12.02

And sometimes a click or any operation which was working fine doesn't work next time when I run it. It shows "Cannot identify the object"...

Because of this I have to always unnecessarily rework on properties each time I am really confused about this kind of variation. Please help me out...

F12 key press in a browser would display all the properties of that object when highlighted through an arrow(pointer) symbol in the pane. Using index identifier is highly discouraged and should be used as the last resort. Instead, use descriptive object identification if the property value changes during the course of execution. There has to be some pattern behind it which has to be studied. Kindly post more details about the object.

  • Thanks a lot.. I was using index for all the clicks thinking index is the prime property . I removed index and prioritized other properties . – Aswini Vijay Jun 21 '17 at 06:31
