error: 'no such element'

[VijayanRamachandran]

Hi,

Currently i am facing an issue with Spectron in combination with Mocha.

When i try to get element text using spectron in test case i am facing error "no such element".

Sample.html

main.js

package.json

"devDependencies": {
"electron": "^13.1.6",
"mocha": "^9.0.2",
"spectron": "^15.0.0"
}

SampleTest.js

Error

Can you help me regarding this ?

Is it problem in my implementation ?

you may misunderstand element id and dom id, and to get the text content from a DOM-element, please refer to getText

To clarify @xupea comment, I have put a code sample below.

Use await (await app.client.$("#test")).getText() where app refers to the Spectron Application and #test refers to the element in the DOM with id test (<h1 id="test">Hello World</h1>).
