How to use getMessage method of org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException class
Best Selenium code snippet using org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException.getMessage
WebDriverException org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException
The WebDriver error - unknown error, happens when the driver tries to process a command and an unspecified error occurs.
The error can generally be isolated to the specific driver. It is a good practice to read the error message for any pointers on why the error occurred.
Example:
The error message shows that Selenium webdriver is not able to focus on element. generally, it happens due to incompatibility between Browser and Driver versions
1Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: cannot focus element
