Selenium-Debugging: Element is not clickable at point (X,Y)

Question

I try to scrape this site by Selenium.

I want to click in "Next Page" buttom, for this I do:

 driver.find_element_by_class_name('pagination-r').click() 

it works for many pages but not for all, I got this error

WebDriverException: Message: Element is not clickable at point (918, 13). Other element would receive the click: <div class="linkAuchan"></div> 

always for this page

I read this question

and I tried this

driver.implicitly_wait(10) el = driver.find_element_by_class_name('pagination-r') action = webdriver.common.action_chains.ActionChains(driver) action.move_to_element_with_offset(el, 918, 13) action.click() action.perform() 

but I got the same error

Answer 1

Another element is covering the element you are trying to click. You could use execute_script() to click on this.

element = driver.find_element_by_class_name('pagination-r') driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element) 

Answer 2

I had a similar issue where using ActionChains was not solving my error: WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Element is not clickable at point (5 74, 892)

I found a nice solution if you dont want to use execute_script:

    from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys #need to send keystrokes      inputElement = self.driver.find_element_by_name('checkout')      inputElement.send_keys("\n") #send enter for links, buttons 

or

    inputElement.send_keys(Keys.SPACE) #for checkbox etc
