ElementNotInteractableException: Message: Element could not be scrolled into view while trying to click an element using Selenium and Python

Question

I have this code:

driver.switch_to.window(window_after)

try:
    myElem = WebDriverWait(driver, delay).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.NAME, \'_eventId         


        

Answer 1

This problem usually arises when the element you are trying to click is present on the page but it is not fully visible and the point where selenium tries to click is not visible.
In this case, you can use javascript to click on the element, which actually operates directly on the html structure of the page.
You can use it like:

element = driver.find_element_by_name("_eventId_confirmed")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)
