Selenium WebDriver如何解决陈旧元素引用异常？

Question

我在Selenium 2 Web驱动程序测试中具有以下代码，该代码在调试时有效，但是在构建中运行它时，大多数情况下会失败。我知道这一定与未刷新页面的方式有关，但不知道如何解决它，因此，任何有关我做错事情的指针都应该受到赞赏。我正在使用JSF primefaces作为我的Web应用程序框架。当我单击添加新链接时，会出现一个弹出对话框，其中包含一个输入框，我可以在其中输入日期，然后单击“保存”。在获取输入元素以输入文本的过程中，我得到了一个陈旧的元素ref异常。

}

运行此命令时，出现以下异常，但可能会在

WebElement textElement = driver.findElement(By.name("createForm:dateInput_input"));

要么

if (button.isDisplayed())

先，让我们弄清楚WebElement是什么。

WebElement是对DOM中元素的引用。

当你正在交互的元素被销毁然后重新创建时，将引发StaleElementException。如今，大多数复杂的网页都会在用户与其互动时动态地进行处理，这需要销毁并重新创建DOM中的元素。

发生这种情况时，对你先前拥有的DOM中元素的引用将变得陈旧，并且你将不再能够使用该引用与DOM中的元素进行交互。发生这种情况时，你将需要刷新参考，或者按照实际情况再次找到该元素。
