Question

I'm trying to click a button on top of the page.I'm using CSS selector and it works perfectly fine when I run it in my local eclipse.But when I try to run it on Jenkins server on my local machine it fails, saying element not clickable. When I saw the screenshot of failed test on Jenkins I see that the header is overlapping the button that I want to click. I have tried almost everything using XPath,CSS,move to element,move mouse. But still can't fix it, Someone please help.

Answer 1

Element is not clickable at point (775.25, 10.166671752929688). Other element would receive the click:

It clearly says, the element we want to click is hidden by some other element div in this case, which would receive the click.

I think it is a problem with the UI and the header shouldn't hide the element, but you can try few things :

1. Maximize the window of the browser from webdriver to see if header still hides the element

   driver.manage().window().maximize()  

2. Use JavaScript to click element

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

Answer 2

use JavascriptExecutor.:-

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