Selenium - 元素在点上不可点击

Question

I am using selenium for test script. I am getting following error and this error randomly occur. When I run 10 times, I get this about twice. So it's not really reproducible. Does anyone know why this is happening? the element I am trying to click is definitely visible in the browser and doesn't move around so there is no need to resize or drag element. I am using chrome webdriver and I read other troubleshooting strategies( Debugging "Element is not clickable at point" error ) and they don't seem relevant to my issue. I waited enough time as well.

UnknownError: unknown error: Element is not clickable at point (167, 403). Other element would receive the click: <div class="leftMasterBackground"></div>

Answer 1

There are a number of steps you can do in order to improve the stability while clicking on different UI elements:

• Explicitly wait for it's presence in the DOM
• Scroll into the element view
• Check if clickable

Does it helped the stability?

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 3)
JavascriptExecutor js = ((JavascriptExecutor) driver)

//presence in DOM
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElement(By.id("ID")));

//scrolling
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("ID")));  
js.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element);

//clickable
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("ID")));

Further, if you will decide to override the default Actions interface with more customized one, you can use two type of clicks (for example): click() which will have all those stability steps and fastClick() which will be the default clicking without any varification.

I have solved by catching the exception and managing it like this:

        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("ID"));
        boolean clicked = false;
        do{
            try {
                element.click();
            } catch (WebDriverException e) {
                continue;
            } finally {
                clicked = true;
            }
        } while (!clicked);

I was also facing same problem with Chrome. I have solved that putting one line of code before clicking on the element:

scrollToViewElement(driver,xpath);

Answer 4

click parent element of the element which you want to click. this can be workaround solution only.

Answer 5

• This happens only on chrome so it works on ie and firefox
• ChromeDriver always clicks the middle of the element
• The reason Chrome driver doesn't calculate the correct screen location of link.

Solution:

// Find an element and define it

WebElement elementToClick = driver.findElement(By.xpath("some xpath"));
// Scroll the browser to the element's Y position
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("window.scrollTo(0,"+elementToClick.getLocation().y+")");
// Click the element
elementToClick.click();

Answer 6

I got the same issue due to one of spinner was hiding the element.

I gave xpath and it resolved the issue. Other people suggested to 1. scroll 2. sleep also worked for them.
