Element <div class="form-group__checkbox">...</div> is not clickable at point-CodePudding

I tried to build a code to repeat the search on a website. I follow a number of method from the forum but still failed to resolve the below issue. Below error message was popped up when I tried to click the checkbox "Ensuite". See if anyone knows how to resolve it.

Error Message selenium.common.exceptions.ElementClickInterceptedException: Message: element click intercepted: Element ... is not clickable at point (323, 690). Other element would receive the click: ...

It looks you are using the absolute path that causing the error

Use the below xpath to click on Yes for Ensuite checkbox

//input[@id='en-suite']

Your code will be like

wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[@id='en-suite']"))).click()

wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//label[@title='Only show rooms with an En-suite bathroom']"))).click()

CodePudding user response：

CodePudding user response：

Finally, I solve the problem by ensuring the checkbox "Ensuite" is visible on the screen before I trigger the click. To do this, I have to locate an element and then trigger the key "PAGE_DOWN" first. It works but is very dumb.
