[@keshavdwivedi5192]

I am really grateful to you that you created this video because no one else on TH-cam has told the solution to this exception and also the method told by you is the most easiest. I want to tell you that this was the only exception in selenium which I did not knew how to handle and today you solved my only issue in selenium.
Thank you sir.

I have watched many videos on youtube and read many blogs on StaleElementException, everyone has explained what does it mean but no one has explained how to handle it.This is the only video which made all my doubts clear about StaleElementException.Thanks so much for explaining along with practical example.

[@rishikeshkshatriya9868]

Thank you so much, your idea helped fix the issue. The most easiest and straightforward fix. All other videos I watched did not make sense to me and were not of much help. maybe they are too smart or I am too low to understand what the intention was. either way, thank you again.

[@naaz7847]

sir by page factory how can we handle it?

[@jyothijoy2018]

Sir I m trying to automate make my trip site city drop-down but I m not able to automate sir.. I m getting stale exception... Will u plz send me code regarding it

[@sandeepambati563]

How can we use try catch solution in loop for the below code?
Please explain
List footer = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[@id='pageFooterChildren']/ul/li"));
int size = footer.size();
for(int i = 0;i

[@youtubecritic6898]

it generates stale reference error after 30 min.WHy?

[@KatRollo]

Main reason why a lot of test automation suites are peppered with try-catch blocks with repetitive code.
Try looking into ExpectedConditions.refresh() instead.

Or better yet, use lamba expressions.

[@chennakesav7134]

I understand the workaround for the stale exception. But In mycase, we are using page objects so xpaths are assigned to a variable and we will be using that variable in multiple test cases.
do you have any suggestion to me to handle this exception?

[@girishkondaparthy]

same problem with me.. i couldnt get to fix this issue with a locator using variable.
