ElementClickInterceptedException error that I cannot resolve-CodePudding

I am getting the following error:

ElementClickInterceptedException: element click intercepted: Element is not clickable at point (288, 833)

When I manually scroll down the page to view the element, selenium finds it and clicks on it, but only if I help it by scrolling down. I have tried different methods to resolve this that I have commented out in the code, but it is still not resolved? How do I resolve this error?

You have to close this pop updriver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[@class='btn-close']")).click

before you execute

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[normalize-space()='Sales']")).click();

This will resolve the problem for you. I have tried in WATIR, it's working for me.

Okay, So try writing this code in try catch block.

try{
activePage.click();
}catch(ElementClickInterceptedException e){
}

or scroll down the page and issue the click, it works too

JavascriptExecutor js= (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("window.scrollTo(0,document.body.scrollHeight)");
Thread.sleep(2000);
activePage.click();

CodePudding user response：

Try the below code, I made 2 changes to your code:

Using JavascriptExecutor, scroll down to the bottom of the page and then perform active_page.click()
In the second iteration since the DOM structure changes,active_page.click() won't work(you may get Stale element reference, Element is not attached to the page document exception), so you need to assign the web element once again

Good luck.

   for(int p = 1; p <= 2; p  ) {
           WebElement active_page = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//ul[@class='pagination']//li//span"));
           System.out.println("Active Page: " active_page.getText());
           Thread.sleep(3000);
           //below 2 lines will scroll to the bottom of the page
           JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
           js.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,document.body.scrollHeight)");
           Thread.sleep(3000);
           //assigning web element to active_page once again as the DOM structure has changed
           active_page = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//ul[@class='pagination']//li//span"));
           active_page.click();
