Question

I have a table of four columns. The data in the first column is a name of a group in which I can click on to go to a new page to modify the group data.

I can get the text of that group name, but I am unable to click on it. I’m trying to go through each row and get the status of each group (located in column 4). If it’s on hold, I want to modify the data of that group.

Here is my code: Why will it not click on the group name?

List<WebElement> elems = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//table[@id='nameOfTable']/tbody/tr"));
for (WebElement rowElem : elems)
{
    List<WebElement> cells = rowElem.findElements(By.xpath("td"));

    if(cells.get(3).getText().equalsIgnoreCase("Hold"))
    {
        System.out.println(cells.get(0).getText()); //
        cells.get(0).click; // This will not click on the link
    }
}

Answer 1

You would need to say cells.get(0).click();.

I believe you are missing a couple of parentheses…
