Element is not clickable at point

[medv...@gmail.com]

hi,

I keep getting this error more and more:

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: Element is not clickable at point (805, 1183)
      (Session info: chrome=62.0.3202.94)
      (Driver info: chromedriver=2.27.440175 (9bc1d90b8bfa4dd181fbbf769a5eb5e575574320),platform=Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 x86_64) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

Is there any solution to prevent it or any workaround?

Thank you,

Roland

Most likely the element is animated somehow, so its position is changing. You need to wait for it to stop changing position before you try to trigger a click on it.

waitFor or sleep does not help me there.

only clicking buttons like this:

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath(xpath));
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click()", element)

any other idea why elements are not clickable?

should I scroll the element to view? is this possible in geb?

sometimes the error message says "cannot focus on element".

thank you,

Roland

I do believe that Brian is right - the element you are trying to click is most probably temporarily overlaid due to some animation. Especially if the error is intermittent and varies as you describe it.

waitFor will help if you take the time to analyse what is being animated at that particular point in time and wait for it to finish.

Also, you should not need to scroll anything - WebDriver scrolls elements into view automatically before clicking them.
