Button element not interactable Selenium

Question

I'm trying to write a script to automate some tasks with Selenium and Python, and every time I try to click on a button

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
xpath = "/html/body/app-root/app-prime/div/mat-sidenav-container//app-detail-component/main//div/span/button[@aria-label='Prenota']"

# Wait for the element to be visible, always true
WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(expected_conditions.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, xpath)))
# Try to click on element, get an error
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, xpath).click()

I get the following error

selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable

I know for sure that the element gets located correctly and has to match, but it should act only on the first one.

I tried:

• Trying to click child tags, such as others divs and span
• Waiting for it to be clickable
• Waiting with an implicit wait

None of those activities were successful

Edit: Apparently the issue olly exist on my machine

Answer 1

It could be not clickable for a number of reasons. You might want to check if there is some element on the page layered on top so that that element is not interactable at that time, e.g some popup/iframe etc. There could be some other element that will receive click at that time.

You could try an actions click - something like this

myElement = driver.find_element_by_xpath("myXpath")
webdriver.ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(myElement).click(myElement).perform()

Answer 2

One of this should work.

IJavaScriptExecutor executor = (IJavaScriptExecutor)WebDriver.Driver;
            executor.ExecuteScript("arguments[0].click();", webElement);

Actions actions = new Actions(WebDriver.Driver);
            actions.MoveToElement(webElement).Click().Perform();

Note - these are c sharp code. try to do the same in java.
