I see this only in Chrome.
The full error message reads:
"org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Element is not clickable at point (411, 675). Other element would receive the click: ..."
The element that 'would receive the click' is to the side of the element in question, not on top of it and not overlapping it, not moving around the page.
I have tried adding an offset, but that does not work either. The item is on the displayed window without any need for scrolling.
----------------------------------
This is caused by following 2 types:
1.The element is not visible to click.
Use Actions or JavascriptExecutor for making it to click.
By Actions:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By("element_path"));
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(element).click().perform():
By JavascriptExecutor:
JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
jse.executeScript("scroll(250, 0)"); // if the element is on top.
jse.executeScript("scroll(0, 250)"); // if the element is on bottom.
or
JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
jse.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView()", Webelement);
Then click on the element.
2.The page is getting refreshed before it is clicking the element.
For this, make the page to wait for few seconds.
--------------------
1.The element is not visible at the view point(not seen in the screen)
Try this
JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
jse.executeScript("scroll(250, 0)"); // this will scroll up
or
jse.executeScript("scroll(0, 250)"); // this will scroll down
2.Element is not present at the time of execution. Use WebDriverWait to until the element is present.
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 15); wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("ID of the element")));
---------------------------
In my python script, I try the second method, details as below
js_="var q=document.body.scrollTop=10000"
driver.execute_script(js_)
Attation: In chrome we should use "document.body.scrollTop", "document.documentElement.scrollTop" doesn't work in chrome
if you want to get the value of scrollTop, may you can try this "var sTop=document.body.scrollTop+document.documentElement.scrollTop;"
