org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotInteractableException: Element is not reachable by keyboard: while sending text to FirstName field in Facebook

Question

The error is :

Exception in thread \"main\" org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotInteractableException: Element 
 is not rea         


        
      

Answer 1

In one of the use cases I had the same issue:

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotInteractableException: Element 
 is not reachable by keyboard

using id for identifying an element before sending keys. Something like:

driver.findElement(By.id("search")).sendKeys("...");

After testing I changed to CSS Selector and it solved the issue:

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#search > input:nth-child(2)")).sendKeys("...");

So, I highly recommend to use different methods to interact with the elements, because something else can save your time solving problems.
