ElementNotInteractableException: Message: Element <button class="btn btn-outline-light btn-i-CodePudding

I am trying to press a the download on this page

https://data.unwomen.org/data-portal/sdg?annex=All&finic[]=SUP_1_1_IPL_P&flocat[]=478&flocat[]=174&flocat[]=818&flocat[]=504&flocat[]=729&flocat[]=788&flocat[]=368&flocat[]=400&flocat[]=275&flocat[]=760&fys[]=2015&fyr[]=2030&fca[ALLAGE]=ALLAGE&fca[<15Y]=<15Y&fca[15+]=15+&fca[15-24]=15-24&fca[25-34]=25-34&fca[35-54]=35-54&fca[55+]=55+&tab=table

i am using python selenium with firefox and this is what i tried:

driver.set_page_load_timeout(30)
driver.get(url)
time.sleep(1)
WebDriverWait(driver, timeout=20).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, 'SDG-Indicator-Dashboard')))
time.sleep(1)
download_div = driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, 'float-buttons-wrap')
buttons = download_div.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, 'button')
buttons_attributes = [i.get_attribute('title') for i in buttons]
download_button_index = buttons_attributes.index('Download')
buttons[download_button_index].location_once_scrolled_into_view
buttons[download_button_index].click()```

i keep getting the same error:
ElementNotInteractableException: Message: Element <button  type="button"> could not be scrolled into view

eventho i am getting the correct element and i tried using js like this:
```driver.execute_script("return arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element)```

also did not work.

You have to modify the XPath, try the below code:

driver.get("https://data.unwomen.org/data-portal/sdg?annex=All&finic[]=SUP_1_1_IPL_P&flocat[]=478&flocat[]=174&flocat[]=818&flocat[]=504&flocat[]=729&flocat[]=788&flocat[]=368&flocat[]=400&flocat[]=275&flocat[]=760&fys[]=2015&fyr[]=2030&fca[ALLAGE]=ALLAGE&fca[<15Y]=<15Y&fca[15+]=15+&fca[15-24]=15-24&fca[25-34]=25-34&fca[35-54]=35-54&fca[55+]=55+&tab=table")
driver.implicitly_wait(15)
time.sleep(2)
download_btn = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "(.//button[@type='button' and @title='Download'])[2]")
download_btn.location_once_scrolled_into_view
time.sleep(1)
download_btn.click()

1.You need to make sure you are giving enough time to complete page loading 2.Once you started to find button element , it's better to use try/catch blocks multiple times and put sleep function when exception occures to provide appropriate time to load scripts and elements. 3.Try finding by xpath instead of finding elements by indexes and be aware that you need to use the index [1] instead of [0] in a xpath string
