Elements

Check If An Element Exists

To check an specific web element being present on the web page you may want to use the id "element-id" method.

driver.findElements(By.id("element-id")).size() != 0

Check If Element is Visible 

The above method works well to check if an element exists on page. However, sometimes an element may not be visible and you cannot perform any action on it. Thus, to check whether an element is visible or not use the below code.

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("element-id"));
if(element instanceof Rendered WebElement){
	System.out.println("Element Visible");
}
else{
	System.out.println("Element Not Visible");
}
