Non-Interactable Elements

[David Czerwinski]

So I'm writing a javascript selenium test and ran into a non-interactable element... I've tried all the locators and implicit / explicit waits inside try/catches but still can't seem to crack why this element is not interactable... How have you been able to identify the reason for elements not being interactable?

Hi,

The element may not be interactable because another element is sitting on top of the target element.  

Usually, the error message will indicate that situation.  It would say something like another element would receive the click.

If this is the case, then you will need to get a developer to move the overlapping element so that you can access the target element.

Cheers,

Adrian.

I wish it was an issue with interception... this bug is much more vague and realized i should probably drop the error message in the thread lol

Can you attach a copy of the DOM?
And highlight which element you are trying to interact with?

Cheers,

Adrian.

WE GOT IT!

looks like there was an issue with the codebase! the map being used to render components wasn't filtering as expected but its working now :)

That is good news!
