Unable to click on submenu using Selenium Java

I'm trying to click on a submenu in a webpage. Submenu will be displayed when I just hover over the main menu. I have referred many solutions and it sill doesn't work.
And there are no iframes on the page.
Below is the code:
Actions ac = new Actions(d);
WebElement we = d.findElement(By.xpath("(//ul[#id='menu-top-menu']//li)[1]"));
ac.moveToElement(we).perform();
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(d, 10);
WebElement we2 = wait.until(
ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("(//ul[#id='menu-top-menu']//li//ul//li[2]//a)[1]")));
ac.moveToElement(we2).click().perform();
Can someone please help me out with it?.

If it's not necessary to simulate mousein and click, you can get the href value of a element and direct access with driver.
You just need to check if element is present.
String xpathAction = "//ul[#id='menu-top-menu'] /li[1] /ul /li /a[text() = 'Action']";
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
String hrefAction = wait.until(
ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath(xpathAction))
).getAttribute("href");
driver.get(hrefAction);

WebdriverIO & Java - org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException in IFrame

I'm facing an exception (org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException) when I try to get element "email". Since I just started playing with WebDriver I'm probably missing some important concept about those race conditions.
WebElement login = driver.findElement(By.id("login"));
login.click();
WebElement iFrame = driver.findElement(By.id("iFrame"));
driver.switchTo().frame(iFrame);
WebElement email = driver.findElement(By.id("email"));
email.sendKeys(USERNAME);
Few things that I've tried but with no success:
Set an implicitly wait:
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
Create a WebDriverWait:
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
WebElement login = driver.findElement(By.id("login"));
login.click();
WebElement iFrame = driver.findElement(By.id("iFrame"));
driver.switchTo().frame(iFrame);
WebElement email = wait.until(presenceOfElementLocated(By.id("email")));
// and WebElement email = wait.until(visibilityOf(By.id("email")));
email.sendKeys(USERNAME);
Create a FluentWait:
WebElement login = driver.findElement(By.id("login"));
login.click();
WebElement iFrame = driver.findElement(By.id("iFrame"));
driver.switchTo().frame(iFrame);
Wait<WebDriver> wait = new FluentWait<>(driver)
.withTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(30))
.pollingEvery(Duration.ofSeconds(5))
.ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class);
WebElement email = wait.until(d ->
d.findElement(By.id("email")));
email.sendKeys(USERNAME);
The only way I managed to make it work was using the old and good Thread.sleep() (ugly as well)
WebElement login = driver.findElement(By.id("login"));
login.click();
WebElement iFrame = driver.findElement(By.id("iFrame"));
driver.switchTo().frame(iFrame);
try {
Thread.sleep(5000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
WebElement email = driver.findElement(By.id("email"));
email.sendKeys(USERNAME);

To send a character sequence to the email element as the the desired element is within an <iframe> so you have to:
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt().
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired elementToBeClickable().
You can use the following Locator Strategies
driver.findElement(By.id("login")).click();
new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(By.id("iFrame")));
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("email"))).sendKeys(USERNAME);
Here you can find a relevant discussion on Ways to deal with #document under iframe

It turns out that the code is ok, but Chrome driver 78 linux 64 bits is messed up. I've tried with Firefox (geckodriver-0.26.0) and it worked like a charm.

Selenium: ElementNotVisibleException while trying to click the element with text as My Account onhttps://www.phptravels.net/

When I tested phptravel website and tried to click on the myaccount link with the below code.
Selenium returns ElementNotVisibleException during the execution. What is the thing that I missed?
Source code
public void login(WebDriver driver) {
driver.navigate().to("https://www.phptravels.net/");
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("/html/body/nav/div/div[1]/a")));
// Error on here
myAccount.click();
WebDriverWait myAccountWait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
myAccountWait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//*[#id=\"li_myaccount\"]/ul")));
loginLink.click();
WebDriverWait loginWait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
//loginWait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//*[#id=\\\"loginfrm\\\"]/div[1]/div[5]/div/div[1]/input")));
username.sendKeys("user#phptravels.com");
password.sendKeys("demouser");
loginBtn.click();
}

myAccount webElement is not initialized in your code.
In case you want to click on My account link you can use this :
WebElement myAccount = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//div[#id='collapse']/descendant::ul[3]/li[#id='li_myaccount']/a")));
myAccount.click();
Note that you can't use link Text as that is text nodes .

Modify the code as below:
On your WebDriverWait keep the xpath as below with By type:
By myAccountBy = By.xpath("//ul[#class='nav navbar-nav navbar-right']/ul/li[1]/a");
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(myAccountBy));
OR
Hardcode the xpath like below.
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.Xpath("//ul[#class='nav navbar-nav navbar-right']/ul/li[1]/a")));
Then keep the same xpath for myAccount WebElement as below
#FindBy(xpath="//ul[#class='nav navbar-nav navbar-right']/ul/li[1]/a")
public WebElement myAccount;
In short, to click the MyAccount you have to keep this xpath
//ul[#class='nav navbar-nav navbar-right']/ul/li[1]/a

First you need to create WebElement then use elementToBeClickable Expected Condition for the same this way you can resolve the issue
WebElement myAccount = driver.findElement("Your locator");
Now use wait
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(myAccount));
myAccount.click();
Also maximize the browser.

It is always a best practice to add the explicit wait after loading the URL. I am able to click the Account link based on the below modified XPath.
Xpath: //nav//li[#id='li_myaccount']//a
Working Code:
driver.get("https://www.phptravels.net/");
WebDriverWait wait=new WebDriverWait(driver,10);
//wait is added in order to complete the page loading
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.titleContains("PHPTRAVELS"));
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//nav//li[#id='li_myaccount']//a")).click();

To click() on the element with text as My Account instead of visibilityOfElementLocated() you need to induce WebDriverWait through elementToBeClickable() method and you can use the following solution:
Code Block:
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.phptravels.net");
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//nav[#class='navbar navbar-default']//li[#id='li_myaccount']/a[normalize-space()='My Account']"))).click();
Browser Snapshot:

Selenium WebDriver passes in Debug but not when regularly run

I'm admittedly REALLY new to Selenium WebDriver, but I've hit a snag when running a rudimentary test in IntelliJ. I'm able to run and pass my test if I put breakpoints in the code and run it in Debug mode and step through the steps. However, when I just click run regularly it fails on the 2nd step saying the following: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Element is not clickable at point (596.5, 1128.63330078125). Other element would receive the click:
I'm stuck on trying to figure out why it would pass and run as expected in Debug, but not when I run regularly. Here's my test:
public class BF_Test {
private WebDriver driver;
#Test
public void checkURL()
{
WebDriver driver = BrowserFactory.getDriver("firefox");
driver.get("http://www.vizio.com");
WebElement homePagePopup = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#id='modal']/div/a"));
homePagePopup.click();
//NEED TO FIGURE OUT WAIT TIMER OF SOME SORT
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 15);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("html body.cms-index-index.cms-index div.page-wrapper div.main.col1-layout div.std section#heroslider.kslider.hero-home.section-wrap.section-wrap-primary div.navi-wrap ul.navi.navi-bind.navi-count-3 li.item-0")));
WebElement naviButtonsCarousel = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("html body.cms-index-index.cms-index div.page-wrapper div.main.col1-layout div.std section#heroslider.kslider.hero-home.section-wrap.section-wrap-primary div.navi-wrap ul.navi.navi-bind.navi-count-3 li.item-0"));
naviButtonsCarousel.click();
WebElement homePageTVPButton = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#tvp-marquee-inner > div.container > div.content > a.vz-btn"));
homePageTVPButton.click();
WebElement resultsAreInValidation = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".thanks.fade-in"));
System.out.println(resultsAreInValidation.getText());
WebElement robinsonBtn = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#robinsonHomeVote > span"));
robinsonBtn.click();
WebElement robinsonPlayerText = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#modal-container > div > div > div.player > div.playerInfo > section > h1"));
Assert.assertEquals("Verify that Allen Robinson text is on the page","Allen Robinson",robinsonPlayerText.getText());
WebElement btnClose = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("button.close"));
btnClose.click();
driver.quit();
}
}
So as you can see, nothing crazy to report in what I'm trying to do. Just open a website, click on a couple links and assert on some text and whatnot.
Any thoughts on what I can do to get this to work for me? I've been messing around with WebDriverWait to see if it was Selenium being too quick...but nothing seems to help.
THANKS!

WebDriverException: Element is not clickable at point means the element you want to click on is not visible. You can solve it by scrolling to the element before the click.
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("selector"));
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(element).build().perform();
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 15);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(element)).click();

Works for me, with the following instructions in C# using Selenium, 3.0 :
Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(15));
and then I can create the webElement and send event click.

create an extension like so:
public static class WebDriverExtensions
{
public static IWebElement FindElementUntil(this IWebDriver driver, By by, int waitSeconds = 15)
{
var wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, System.TimeSpan.FromSeconds(waitSeconds));
wait.Until(driver => driver.FindElement(by));
return driver.FindElement(by);
}
}

StaleElementReferenceException Error on Java- selenium

I am getting StaleElementReferenceException when I run my code for selecting "Buy NOW" from flipkart.com. This is what I have, but its not working for me.
public void SelectItemfromPage(){
WebDriver wd = new FirefoxDriver();
wd.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
wd.get("http://www.flipkart.com");
WebElement element = wd.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='fk-top-search-box']"));
element.sendKeys("moto g");
element.submit();
element.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='products']/div/div[1]/div[1]/div/div[1]/a[1]/img")).click();
element.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='fk-mainbody-id']/div/div[7]/div/div[3]/div/div/div[6]/div/div[3]/div[1]/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/form/input[9]")).click();
}

Your approach is all wrong.
You are saving an WebElement and reusing it, that's not the way to go.
When you save a WebElement in an object, in this case element, the WebElement will become stale whenever the DOM changes.
What you need to do is the following:
WebDriver wd = new FirefoxDriver();
wd.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
wd.get("http://www.flipkart.com");
WebElement element = wd.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='fk-top-search-box']"));
element.sendKeys("moto g");
element.submit();
wd.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='products']/div/div[1]/div[1]/div/div[1]/a[1]/img")).click();
wd.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='fk-mainbody-id']/div/div[7]/div/div[3]/div/div/div[6]/div/div[3]/div[1]/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/form/input[9]")).click();
