Element exists question

[A_Learner]

Hi,
Does element exists activity checks only on visible elements within screen bounds?

Can it verify elements beyond screen dimensions when web page extends horizontally?

Can it verify hidden elements?

Thank you,

Hi,

No. It returns true even if it’s hidden or outside screen.

Can it verify elements beyond screen dimensions when web page extends horizontally?

Yes if browser loads the element.

Can it verify hidden elements?

Yes

Thank you @Yoichi
I need to verify elements on browser which are not hidden and when page can extend beyond screen dimensions. Which activity is the best to use?

Hi,

For now, can you try FindElement with WaitVisible option

Or CheckAppState with Target.Visibility check option

Hi,

For another reference, in my experience I tried to indicate the element for ‘Element Exist’ activity with AA Framework rather than Default Framework; this results in some Element not being detected when they’re not visible in the screen (the element is way below, you need to scroll down first).

Thank you for your insight @ajulioo
I need to gain more knowledge into these specific UI activities.
