How to fix this issue element not interactable Selenium Python

问题

I have the following line in my script code, where the XPath I got it from Selenium IDE that works fine:

driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//a[contains(@href, '')])[20]").click()

An automation test stops here with this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Script.py", line 65, in <module>
    driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[contains(@href, '')])[20]").click()

How to fix this issue?

Thanks for any help.

Seeing as you just want to scrape the data, I recommend you use this solution:

element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//a[contains(@href, '')])[20]")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)

Which clicks the element via Javascript as opposed to a "natural" click that selenium uses (to try to simulate the user experience).

I answered a similar question here that links to another post on it as well.
