Button/Element not interactable-CodePudding

I am trying to click on a button in a webpage using Selenium and xpath. I managed to click on a button in the previous page but after loading into this new page, I tried to use the same code but different button HTML, it was not able to load as before.

My code is as follows:

driver = webdriver.Chrome() 
driver.get("https://connect.com")
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@class='p-button p-component']").click() #button workable


In the next page:
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@class='add icon-only proto-button ng-star-inserted']").click() #button not working

The error message that I have received is:

selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable

I have also tried with adding in waiting time as below, but it is still not working.

button = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ec.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[@class='add icon-only proto-button ng-star-inserted']")))
button.click()

However, now the error message that I have received is:

selenium.common.exceptions.TimeoutException: Message:

Alternatively, I have tried to work on other elements of the HTML code, for example. But either way, the button did not work.

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[text()='proto-icon ng-star-inserted']").click()

or

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//connect-button[@class='proto-button-list-item ng-star-inserted']").click()

The HTML is in the picture attached

I have no idea how else can i try to work around. Please advise, thanks !

I agree with @lucasnguyen17

The button element must be not clickable because of the connect-button element over it.

element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@class='p-button p-component']") 
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)

It's really simple,

In the first line it stores the element as a python variable. Then it runs the js script.

element.click();

Where the element is your specific button. You can try it on the console to test if it works.

A link to the specific page would have been helpful.
