Chome 61, ChromeDriver 2.32 Click on element for mobile device emulators throws WebDriverException: unknown error: Element is not clickable at point

Question

I have tests that were perfectly working in Chrome 60 and ChromeDriver 2.31, but after Chrome updated to 61 version I had to update ChromeDriver to 2.32. And now I am getting sporadic org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: Element is not clickable at point (X, Y) - in all tests that are run for mobile device emulators such as "iPhone 6 Plus" browser mode,

for example.

As a workaround I would probably use scroll to element before the click, but it's just a quick fix and it's better to know where this issue comes from. Is it the issue of the current latest Chrome and driver releases? Is it going to be fixed soon?

Issue is reproduced on both local and remote webdriver.

Stacktrace:

I guess it relates to https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=1852

Answer 1

Chrome driver Developers are aware that the fix is not working properly in mobile device emulate mode. A fix for that is coming in ChromeDriver 2.33.

Answer 2

you need to downgrade your chrome version to 59.0 (32 bit), as there is some with issue with the new chrome update. or you need to scroll to element first and then try to click

Answer 3

I am not absolutely sure but your issue sounds very much like mine one. My tests appeared to be not able to scroll to the element using the built-in move_to_element() Selenium method after my browser was updated.

Here is my workaround written in python

   def scroll_to_element(element):
       self.driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, %d);" % 
       element.location['y'])

As a temporary solution – try to scroll to the element an then try to click it. Hope this helps you for now.
