selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException：消息：使用Selenium和Python插入值时元素不可交互

Question

I'm trying to insert a value into a text box located in a web page.

Text box appears at the bottom of the web page and the element is not locatable by the code. I should two times to see the table value in Chrome (first time it shows a different/parent HTML all together) that suggests us that there are multiple layers and requires finding in deep.

I've tried inserting the string as shown below..

driver.find_element_by_id("arid1005").send_keys("TESTING")

and

elem = driver.find_element_by_id("arid1005")
driver.execute_script('arguments[0].value = "TESTING";',elem)

I've also tried finding the elements by but end up getting

selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable

When I inspect 2 times, the below table gets highlighted.

<table class="SearchBarInput" width="100%">
<tbody>
<tr><td width="">
<textarea style="width:99%;height:21px;" class="sr" cols="" wrap="off" rows="1" id="arid1005"></textarea></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Can somebody throw some light on what I'm missing here? Sorry if this question was already asked but I couldn't find any relevant so far.

The id attribute of the desired element looks dynamic, so to click() on the element you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following solutions:

• Using CSS_SELECTOR :

   WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "table.SearchBarInput>tbody>tr>td>textarea"))).send_keys("TESTING") 

• Using XPATH :

   WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//table[@class='SearchBarInput']/tbody/tr/td/textarea"))).send_keys("TESTING") 

• Note : You have to add the following imports :

   from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
