Selenium-Debugging: Element is not clickable at point (X,Y)
Solution 1:
Another element is covering the element you are trying to click. You could use execute_script()
to click on this.
element = driver.find_element_by_class_name('pagination-r')
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)
Solution 2:
I had a similar issue where using ActionChains was not solving my error: WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Element is not clickable at point (5 74, 892)
I found a nice solution if you dont want to use execute_script:
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys #need to send keystrokes
inputElement = self.driver.find_element_by_name('checkout')
inputElement.send_keys("\n") #send enter for links, buttons
or
inputElement.send_keys(Keys.SPACE) #for checkbox etc
Solution 3:
Because element is not visible on the browser, first you need to scroll down to the element this can be performed by executing javascript.
element = driver.find_element_by_class_name('pagination-r')
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", element)
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)
Solution 4:
I have written logic to handle these type of exception .
def find_element_click(self, by, expression, search_window=None, timeout=32, ignore_exception=None,
poll_frequency=4):
"""It find the element and click then handle all type of exception during click
:param poll_frequency:
:param by:
:param expression:
:param timeout:
:param ignore_exception:list It is a list of exception which is need to ignore.
:return:
"""
if ignore_exception is None:
ignore_exception = []
ignore_exception.append(NoSuchElementException)
if search_window is None:
search_window = self.driver
end_time = time.time() + timeout
while True:
try:
web_element = search_window.find_element(by=by, value=expression)
web_element.click()
return True
except tuple(ignore_exception) as e:
self.logger.debug(str(e))
if time.time() > end_time:
self.logger.exception(e)
time.sleep(poll_frequency)
break
except Exception as e:
raise
return False
