Selenium: element click intercepted: Element is not clickable at point (774, 8907)-CodePudding

I am new to selenium, and I get the following error: element click intercepted: Element is not clickable at point (774, 8907) whenever I run this code on the webpage that has the show more button. My goal is to get every element of the "table" on the webpage, but in order to do so I need to click "show more" button if it is present:

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)
driver.maximize_window()
for el in states_pages:
    driver.get(el)
    err = False
    i = 0
    while not err:
        try:
            more_button = driver.find_element(by=By.CLASS_NAME, value='tpl-showmore-content')
            more_button.click()
        except selexp.NoSuchElementException as e:
            err = True
            print(e)
        except selexp.ElementClickInterceptedException as e:
            err = True
            print(e)
        i =1

I have tried using javascript executor, waiting until the button is clickable and crolling to the button by using actions, but this didn't work at all.

Try this, it works for me:

show_more_lnk = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".tpl-showmore-content")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true)", show_more_lnk)
time.sleep(2)
show_more_lnk.click()

CodePudding user response：

Because JavaScript interaction. So you have to click using JS execution.

    import time
    while not err:
        try:
            more_button = driver.find_element(by=By.CLASS_NAME, value='tpl-showmore-content')
            driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();" ,more_button)
            time.sleep(1)
        except selexp.NoSuchElementException as e:
            err = True
            print(e)
        except selexp.ElementClickInterceptedException as e:
            err = True
            print(e)
            break
