Debugging “Element is not clickable at point” error

Question

I see this only in Chrome.

The full error message reads:

\"org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Element is not clickable at point (411, 675

Answer 1

You need to use focus or scroll on that element. You also might have to use explict wait.

WebElement firstbutton= driver.findElement(By.xpath("Your Element"));
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(element);
actions.perform();

OR

The element is not clickable because of a Spinner/Overlay on top of it:

By loadingImage = By.id("loading image ID");
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, timeOutInSeconds);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated(loadingImage));

OR

Point p= element.getLocation();
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(element).movebyoffset(p.x,p.y).click().perform();

OR

If still not work use JavascriptExecutor

JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", firstbutton);
