Is there a way to get around the elementNotInteractable exception in selenium? I've used
wait.until(ec.element_to_be_clickable())
But my code will still try to interact with elements before they're fully interactable. Is the problem that I just haven't set the delay high enough when defining wait? Or is there a function like
ec.element_to_be_interactable()
which checks if the element is interactable or not?
element_to_be_clickable() is the expectation for for checking if an element is visible and enabled so that you can click() it.
Unfortunately there is no specific expected_conditions as ElementNotInteractableException and it can occur for a lot of reasons and some of them are:
Lower Timeout interval. In these cases you have to increase the timeout as follows:
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
Selecting and invoking click() the outer/parent element rather then the child element.
A typical scenario is targetting the <input> where there is a related <label> element.
