System.NullReferenceException on Element Find

[Adam]

I'm getting a System.NullReferenceException on the following: 

HtmlSpan policySpan = kendoIE.ActiveBrowser.Find.ByContent<HtmlSpan>("p:foo"); 

And I know the span is there, 

I've tried xpath, which is this : //html/body/div[2]/div/div/div[1]/div/ul/li[3]/ul/li[1]/span

and I still get the same exception. 

Thanks, 

Adam.

Hello Adam,

What is "kendoIE"? If this is some parent element and you want to find the span withing this element you should use: 

HtmlSpan policySpan = kendoIE.Find.ByContent<HtmlSpan>("p:foo");

otherwise your code should look lie:

HtmlSpan policySpan = ActiveBrowser.Find.ByContent<HtmlSpan>("p:foo");

If the issue persists please send a screen shot of the DOM so we can assist you with the find expression.

Hope to hear from you soon.

the kendoIE was the manager reference, however I was able to find the element using a different reference :-) It just took some digging deeper. 

Thanks,

Hi Adam

 I have a very similar issue, bu in my case with Find.ById<TControl>() as described here: 

http://www.telerik.com/forums/unable-to-find-html-elements

What's very strange is that running my code against a website hosted in my local computer works, while testing on a remote testing machine over internet, doesn't. 

I made sure that all the security requisites for runing tests on IE were correctly set. Both sites run using https. I can't find a difference...

Could you tell my how you resolved your problem?

Thanks,

 Gonzalo
