Answer 1

I had same issue and observation was , multiple elements by same xpath. Finding different unique xpath resolved it

Answer 2

The problem is, that you've found an element that is not graphically displayed in the web browser - location property has value: X=0 and Y=0; so you've probably located a wrong element.

Answer 3

This error message...

Javascript error: Failed to execute 'elementsFromPoint' on 'Document': The provided double value is non-finite

...implies that the WebDriver instance was unable to find the desired element using the Locator Strategy for one or the other reasons:

• The locator strategy doesn't identifies the desired element uniquely within the DOM Tree.
• The element haven't loaded properly when you tried to interact with it.
• Element is within an <iframe> / <frame>
• The style attribute of the element contains display: none;
• Element is within an shadow DOM.

Analysis

The relevant HTML would have been helpful to analyze the issue in a better way. However, you need to take care of a couple of things as follows:

• Ensure that the locator strategy identifies the desired element uniquely within the HTML DOM.

• Induce WebDriverWait for the elementToBeClickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

  • cssSelector:

    new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("elementCssSelector"))).click();
    

  • xpath:

    new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("elementXpath"))).click();
    

• If the WebElement is within an <iframe> / <frame> you need to induce WebDriverWait for the desired frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt().

You can find a relevant detailed discussion in Is it possible to switch to an element in a frame without using driver.switchTo().frame(“frameName”) in Selenium Webdriver Java?

Answer 4

I have also faced the same issue. In my case the problem was that the element I tried to move to wasn't visible yet in the browser.

So I used time.sleep(1)

After that it worked.

Answer 5

I experienced this same issue while trying to click a cell in an AngularJS grid. I confirmed that my XPath query resulted in only one result, and then explored if adding in a Wait Condition would help. As it turned out, adding in a Wait here allowed the code to continue without error.

The below code is the method I used to click the cell. I switched from Click() to an Action as the Click() method was being intercepted by a different element.

public void ClickEmploymentChangeLogButton()
{
    Wait.Until(WaitConditions.ElementIsVisibleAndEnabled(EmploymentChangeLogButton));
    Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
    actions.MoveToElement(EmploymentChangeLogButton).Perform();
    actions.MoveToElement(EmploymentChangeLogButton).Click().Perform();
}

WaitConditions is a separate class to model some of the behaviour of the deprecated ExpectedConditions package.

Here's the method inside WaitConditions that is used above.

public static Func<IWebDriver, bool> ElementIsVisibleAndEnabled(IWebElement element)
{
    return (driver) =>
    {
        try
        {
            return element.Displayed && element.Enabled;
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            // If element is null, stale or if it cannot be located
            return false;
        }
    };
}

Answer 6

I have faced the same issue and was able to resolve it by simply scrolling the window down to the element I am targeting. Seems like the element wasn't showing in the viewport and that's why it wasn't visible to selenium.

Try to add the following lines before finding and clicking the element:

driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, window.scrollY + 100)")
driver.implicitly_wait(3)
