I need to check that element doesn’t exist. I am getting this error in the same step. But that doesn’t happen always.

Hi,

Please provide more information on the error.

Also if possible paste the code as well as it would give more information on what is causing the error.

Odd thing is that it is happening only in one spot with specific element in entire app.
