Cannot find context with specified id in Java - Selenium webdriver

Question

I want to click an element inside a iframe

code trial :

driver.switchTo().frame("payment_page");
WebElement cardType = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"AMEX-paymenttype\"]")));
cardType.click();

Error Msg: org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions findElement WARNING: WebDriverException thrown by findElement(By.xpath: //*[@id="AMEX-paymenttype"])

As per the Best Practices before you switch to any frame you need to induce WebDriverWait for the frame to be available and switch to it. Once you have switched to the desired frame further as you are invoking click() method so instead of using the ExpectedConditions method visibilityOfElementLocated you need to use elementToBeClickable as follows :

new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(By.id("payment_page")));
new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"AMEX-paymenttype\"]"))).click();

WebDriverException thrown by findElement(By.xpath: //*[@id=\"AMEX-paymenttype\"]) org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: unhandled inspector error: {"code":-32000,"message":"Cannot find context with specified id"} (Session info: chrome=66.0.3359.139) I am using TestNG. weird it is working on a Java class but not on TESTNG Class.

unhandled inspector error indicates the xpath you have identified as //*[@id=\"AMEX-paymenttype\"] is incorrect. Either you use a correct xpath or provide the relevant HTML

when I run my class as java application the element is clickable, but in TestNG I encountered this error.
