Elementclickinterceptedexception: Message: Element Click Intercepted Element Is Not Clickable Error Clicking a Radio Button Using Selenium and Python

ElementClickInterceptedException: Message: element click intercepted Element is not clickable error clicking a radio button using Selenium and Python

This error message...

selenium.common.exceptions.ElementClickInterceptedException: Message: element click intercepted: 
Element <input type="radio" name="docTypes" ng-model="$ctrl.documentTypes.selected" id="documentType-0" ng-change="$ctrl.onChangeDocumentType()" ng-value="documentType" tabindex="0" class="ng-pristine ng-untouched ng-valid ng-empty" value="[object Object]" aria-invalid="false"> 
is not clickable at point (338, 202). 
Other element would receive the click:
 <label translate-attr="{title: 'fulfillment.documentAction.createNew.modal.documentType.document.title'}" translate-values="{documentName: documentType.name}" for="documentType-0" translate="ASN - DSD" tabindex="0" title="Select ASN - DSD document type">...</label>

...implies that the desired element wasn't clickable as some other element obscures it.

---

The desired element is a Angular element so to invoke click() on the element you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

• Using CSS_SELECTOR:

  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "label[for='documentType-0']"))).click()
  

• Using XPATH:

  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//label[@for='documentType-0']"))).click()
  

• Note : You have to add the following imports :

  from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
  from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
  from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
  

---

Update

As an alternative you can use the execute_script() method as follows:

• Using CSS_SELECTOR:

  driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "label[for='documentType-0']"))))
  

• Using XPATH:

  driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//label[@for='documentType-0']"))))

selenium.common.exceptions.ElementClickInterceptedException: Message: element click intercepted error clicking a radio-button using Selenium Python

This error message...

selenium.common.exceptions.ElementClickInterceptedException: Message: element click intercepted: Element <label class="mob-mar-b-dbl font-18-important ng-binding" for="no-renovate">...</label> is not clickable at point (1148, 360). Other element would receive the click: <div id="loader" ng-show="loading" class="loader-overlay" tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="loading-msg" role="alert" aria-live="assertive" style="">...</div>

...implies that the click event on the <label> element is being intercepted by a loader-overlay.

---

To click() on the <label> element:

• First you have to induce WebDriverWait for the invisibility_of_element_located() for the loader element.

• Then induce WebDriverWait for the desired element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following locator strategies:

  • CSS_SELECTOR:

    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.invisibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.loader-overlay#loader[ng-show='loading'][aria-labelledby='loading-msg']")))
    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "label[for='no-renovate']"))).click()
    

  • XPATH:

    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.invisibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='loader-overlay' and @id='loader'][@ng-show='loading' and @aria-labelledby='loading-msg']")))
    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//label[@for='no-renovate']"))).click()
    

• Note : You have to add the following imports :

  from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
  from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
  from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
  

ElementClickInterceptedException: element click intercepted: Element is not clickable at point error clicking on Search button using Selenium Python

To click on the Search button you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use the following locator strategy:

driver.get('https://sprs.parl.gov.sg/search/home')
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#divmpscreen2 > div.row > div:nth-child(1) > div > div:nth-child(1) > input"))).send_keys('COS')
Select(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//label[text()='By Parliament']//following-sibling::select[1]")))).select_by_value('13: 13')
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[@class='btn btn-black' and @label='Search']/em"))))

Browser Snapshot:

Note: You have to add the following imports :

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

Unable to click on Radio Button getting ElementClickInterceptedException error

Try forcing the click by executing javascript:

btn = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//input[@name = "gender"]')
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", btn)

Separately, consider using WebDriverWait instead of implicit waits.

ElementClickInterceptedException: Message: element click intercepted: Element label is not clickable with Selenium and Python

You need WebDriverWait to make sure the element visibility_of_element_located, then scroll to Searchable Database section, and you can use locator by xpath.

Please import :

from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait

Try the bellow code.

chromedriver_path = r"C:\Users\path\to\chromedriver.exe"
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=chromedriver_path)
url = "http://www.ncsl.org/research/transportation/autonomous-vehicles-legislative-database.aspx"

topics_xpath = "//div[@class='divTopicsSection1']//span//label[text()='All Topics']"
states_xpath = "//div[@class='divStatesSection1']//span//label[text()='All States']"
dBase_xpath = "//h4[text()='Searchable Database']"
browser.get(url)
WebDriverWait(browser, 10).until(expected_conditions.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, topics_xpath)))
elem = browser.find_element_by_xpath(dBase_xpath)
browser.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", elem)

browser.find_element_by_xpath(topics_xpath).click()
browser.find_element_by_xpath(states_xpath).click()
