I have the list which has multiple links under each section. Each section has different inks I need to click a particular link under each section. I have written the below code but when it executes it gives me: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document.

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id="s2id_CountryId"]/a")).click();
List<WebElement> link2 = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[@id="select2-drop"]/ul//li[.]"));

for (int i = 0; i <= link2.size(); i++) 
 if (link2.get(i).getText().equalsIgnoreCase("ALGERIA")) 
 link2.get(i).click();
 


driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"s2id_GlobalId\"]/a")).click();
List<WebElement> link = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[@id="select2-drop"]/ul//li[.]"));

for (int i = 0; i <= link.size(); i++) 
 if (link.get(i).getText().equalsIgnoreCase("BNZ (Global)")) 
 link.get(i).click();
 

you can use:

 List<WebElement> listOfLinks = driver.findElements(By.xpath("yourXpath"));
 listOfLinks.forEach(link -> 
 if (link.getText().equalsIgnoreCase("your text")) 
 link.click();
 
 );

forEach will get each link from your list and it will do with each whatever you have between those brackets. In this case, the if condition.

For the second part you can also use foreach. You can also put waits in for each, so for each link it will wait for a certain time.

If you want to use lambdas, you need java 8.

Edit: after the info you got me, I have managed to write this for you:

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException 
 System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",".//src//browser//chromedriver.exe");
 yourMethodName("xpathExample", "xPathListPathExample", "iWantToFindThis","theTextIWantToComplete");


private static void yourMethodName(String xPathOfTheElement,String xPathListPath, String theTextYouWantToFind, String theTextYouWantToComplete) throws InterruptedException 
 driver.findElement(By.xpath(xPathOfTheElement)).sendKeys(theTextYouWantToComplete);
 Thread.sleep(2000);

 List<WebElement> listOfLinks = driver.findElements(By.xpath(xPathListPath));
 listOfLinks.forEach(link -> 
 if (link.getText().equalsIgnoreCase(theTextYouWantToFind)) 
 link.click();
 
 );

Hopefully this is clear enough for you.
