ElementNotVisibleException: Message: element not interactable error while trying to click a button through Selenium and Python
Solution 1:
The element with text as Close is a dynamic element so to locate the element you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element to be clickable and you can use either of the following solutions:
-
Using
CSS_SELECTOR
:WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.action-bar button.c-button.c-button--blue"))).click()
-
Using
XPATH
:WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[contains(@class, 'action-bar')]//button[@class='c-button c-button--blue' and normalize-space()='Close']"))).click()
-
Note : You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
