Question

I understand this question has been asked but I need some solution for this error:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
 File \"goeventz_automation.py\", line         


        

Answer 1

This error message...

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

...implies that the desired element was not interactable when you tried to invoke click() on it.

A couple of facts:

• When you initialize the Chrome browser always in maximized mode.
• You can disable-extensions.
• You need to disable-infobars as well.

I have used the same xpath which you have constructed and you can use the following solution:

• Code Block:

  from selenium import webdriver
  from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
  from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
  from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
  
  options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
  options.add_argument("start-maximized");
  options.add_argument("disable-infobars")
  options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
  driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
  driver.get("https://www.goeventz.com/")
  WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[@track-element='header-login']"))).click()
