Getting exception org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: No link found with text

Question

I'm trying to make an application that will connect to youtube-mp3.org. Normally on that site, we need to paste the youtube video url and click on Convert Video button. Then a Div with download link appears after conversion is done. All I need to send click command to the download link. I've written code for this which is as follows :

public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {

    WebDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();

    driver.get("http://www.youtube-mp3.org/");

    // Find the text input element by its id
    WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("youtube-url"));

    element.clear();
    element.sendKeys("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMU0tzLwhbE");

    driver.findElement(By.id("submit")).submit();

    driver.findElement(By.linkText("Download")).click();

    // Check the title of the page
    System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());
    System.out.println(driver.getPageSource());

    driver.quit();
}

}

When I run this I get Exception which is:

  Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: No link found with text:  
    Download

I'm pretty new to Selenium. Please help me.

Thanks.

You need to wait until the link becomes clickable, after pressing the submit button.

import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 5);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.linkText("Download")));
