org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: Element is not currently visible and so may not be interacted with

Question

I am trying to execute below Selenium Web driver script, But I am getting org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: Element is not currently visible and so may n

Answer 1

I had a similar issue and the reason was, there were more hidden elements along with the actual element that i tried to find. So click was actually trying to interact with hidden element and throwed the exception.

Solution- I fine-tuned the element's xpath to make it unique which resulted the interaction to the actual element.
