The code I am using to run the automated test for google search is below.

const webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver'),
    By = webdriver.By,
    until = webdriver.until;

const driver = new webdriver.Builder()
    .forBrowser('chrome')
    .build();

driver.get('http://www.google.com');


driver.findElement(By.name('q')).sendKeys('webdriver');

driver.sleep(10000).then(function() {
  driver.findElement(By.name('q')).sendKeys(webdriver.Key.TAB);
});

driver.findElement(By.name('btnK')).click();

driver.sleep(20000).then(function() {
  driver.getTitle().then(function(title) {
    if(title === 'webdriver - Google Search') {
      console.log('Test passed');
    } else {
      console.log('Test failed');
    }
    driver.quit();
  });
});

and it is throwing an error which says that element is not interactable. I have added extra time delays for loading page successfully.

(node:32241) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: ElementNotInteractableError: element not interactable

CodePudding user response：

element not interactable is telling you that the element you are trying to click on - is just not clickable.

You have 2 ways to overcome this:

1. Find the child element of the element you are trying to click on or its parent element.

2. Force the element to be clicked by injecting JavaScript into it:

   JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver; jse.executeScript("document.getElementsByName ('btnK')[0].click();");

CodePudding user response：

You need to make a couple of adjustments as follows:

• Remove the first occurance of findElement(By.name('q')) as you are already using the line of code later.

• Modify the second occurance of findElement(By.name('q')) to send the text and Key.RETURN

• Remove the line findElement(By.name('btnK')) as you are already using the line of code later.

• Your effective line of code will be:

  const driver = new webdriver.Builder()
      .forBrowser('chrome')
      .build();
  
  driver.get('http://www.google.com');
  
  driver.sleep(10000).then(function() {
    driver.findElement(By.name('q')).sendKeys('webdriver'   Key.RETURN);
  });
  
  driver.sleep(20000).then(function() {
    driver.getTitle().then(function(title) {
      if(title === 'webdriver - Google Search') {
        console.log('Test passed');
      } else {
        console.log('Test failed');
      }
      driver.quit();
    });
  });
