I'm hoping it's just me, but Selenium Webdriver seems like a complete nightmare. The Chrome webdriver is currently unusable, and the other drivers are quite unreliable, or so it seems. I am battling many problems, but here is one.
Randomly, my tests will fail with a
"org.openqa.selenium.StaleElementReferenceException: Element is no longer attached
to the DOM
System info: os.name: 'Windows 7', os.arch: 'amd64',
os.version: '6.1', java.version: '1.6.0_23'"
I'm using webdriver versions 2.0b3. I have seen this happen with FF and IE drivers. The only way I can prevent this is to add an actual call to Thread.sleep before the exception occurs. That is a poor workaround though, so I'm hoping someone can point out an error on my part that will make this all better.
