Click Link href=http://www.tays.fi gives the error message:

"Link with locator 'href=http://www.tays.fi' not found."

But the item does exist on my page:

 < a class="ot-landingpage__link" href="http://www.tays.fi" id="yui_patched_v3_11_0_1_1562143051415_173">www.tays.fi< / a >

What am I missing here? Any ideas, please?

The problem with your code is that href= is not a valid locator prefix.

Click link by default will search the id, name, and href of all anchor elements, so you can give the href without the prefix:

Click link  http://www.tays.fi

wait until page contains www.tays.fi <br/> scroll element into view www.tays.fi Click Link www.tays.fi ----> "Element with locator 'www.tays.fi' not found"

Click Link expects a locator, not the href.

In your case

Click Link    id=yui_patched_v3_11_0_1_1562143051415_173

OR

Click Link    class=ot-landingpage__link

"When using the default locator strategy, links are searched using id, name, href and the link text."
"Link with locator 'id=yui_patched_v3_11_0_1_1562143051415_173' not found."
seems that the yui_patched is generated. Try the class one If class=ot.. does not work, try xpath=a//[@class="ot"]...
