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

I do a kind of brute force of clicks and it works for me.

try:
    elem.click()
except:
    print "failed to click"
    size = elem.size
    mid_of_y = int(size["height"])/2
    stepts_to_do_to_left = int(size["width"])
    while stepts_to_do_to_left > 0:
        try:
            print stepts_to_do_to_left, mid_of_y
            action = webdriver.common.action_chains.ActionChains(driver)
            action.move_to_element_with_offset(elem, mid_of_y, stepts_to_do_to_left)
            action.click()
            action.perform()
            print "DONE CLICK"
            break
        except:
            pass
