I used this code to get the number of elements

List<WebElement> TotalSearchResults = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[@class='ui-lib-sidebar-grid__content']//div[contains(@class,'ui-lib-category-list ui-lib-category-list-dummy')]/div"));
int TotalSearchCountSize = TotalSearchResults.size();
System.out.println("Total Number of Search results " +TotalSearchCountSize);

When running the code the number of elements in output is shown as 0

Solution

The output is shown as 0 as WebDriver instance is initiating the search for the elements even before the desired WeElements have properly rendered within the HTML DOM. In such cases you have to synchronize the WebDriver with the Browsing Context using WebDriverWait.

---

Solution

To print the number of elements you have to induce WebDriverWait for the visibilityOfAllElementsLocatedBy() and you can use the following locator strategy:

• Using xpath:

  System.out.println(new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10)).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfAllElementsLocatedBy(By.xpath("//div[@class='ui-lib-sidebar-grid__content']//div[contains(@class,'ui-lib-category-list ui-lib-category-list-dummy')]/div"))).size());
