 # Get the list of elements
 elements = driver.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME,'custom-control-input')
 
 # Select a random element from the list
 random_element = random.choice(elements)

 random_element.click()
 print("Element selected: ", random_element)
 time.sleep(5)
 
 driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"//*[@id='accKey']").click()
 time.sleep(5)

I've been add "argument.click[]","webdriver wait until EC to be clickable" but still showing "Element not interactable. What would be the other possible solution? Hope someone could clarify for me. Thanks and have a nice day.

• IAmMilinPatel: When the page loads, does the element display in the visible portion of the page? or does a user need to scroll down to view it?
• Carl Carl: it does display.
• IAmMilinPatel: Is there any frame or an element that overlaps your target element? Or maybe the page loader is still displaying while your script is looking for the element to perform the action. Try waiting till the page loads completely and then click your target element.
• Carl Carl: It is a pop up page, I have set the delay to 10s but same errors thrown...
• IAmMilinPatel: Pop-up as in, is it within an iFrame or an <object></object> frame? If so you first need to switch to that frame and then try to access and interact with your target element.

Answer 1

Solution :

• To iterate from list and have a random element to be clicked on
• Snippet

 elements = []
 # Get the list of elements
 elements = driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, "//div[@class='custom-control custom-switch mt-2 mb-2']")
 size = len(elements)
 for element in elements:
 if element:
 element_to_be_clicked = elements[random.randint(0, len(elements))]
 element_to_be_clicked.click()
 print("Permission Selected:-", elements)
 time.sleep(3)

• Carl Carl: The solution not work again...
• Narendra Chandratre: oh god..Will communicate in channel most probably in d evening today
• Carl Carl: No prob. will discuss in the channel later.
• Narendra Chandratre: @CarlCarl No response, I hope issue got resolved for you

Answer 2

https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/#interactability

A element is determined to be interactable using above checklist . Sometimes we end up in situation where we cannot find the exact interactable element .

One solution would be:

1. use actions to click
2. get aactive element
3. get outerHTML

nodejs :

driver.actions().click(elem)
let elem =driver.switchTo().activeElement()
let elementTagstring = elem.getAttribute('outerHTML')
console.log(elementTagstring)

the outerHTML shows the element tag and then you can find the attributes to locate it .

• Carl Carl: Do u mean by use the outerhtml to find the element and click on it?
• PDHide: @CarlCarl outerHTML prints the full element tag , so you know what is the currently active element
• Carl Carl: Yea, i did it, and located the html elements from it but not working.
