[wtr-general] Re: Watir-webdriver throws 'not clickable' error even when element is visible, present
This seems to work for me.
Use send keys :end to drive the browser scroll to the bottom of the page
Reference: #
http://watir-techniques.blogspot.com/2013/02/scroll-down-using-sendkeys-space.html
ie = Watir::Browser.new( :chrome)
ie.window.maximize()
ie.goto('shop.coles.com.au/online/mobile/national')
puts ie.link(:text,'Full website').exists?
puts ie.link(:text,'Full website').visible?
puts ie.link(:text,'Full website').present?
# Send a special key to the browser
ie.send_keys( :end )
ie.link(:text,'Full website').wait_until_present(30)
ie.link(:text,'Full website').parent.click

"Other element would receive the click" That's the cause of the issue, there is some other element that is on top of the thing you are trying to click. The solution depends on the situation, as there are two possibles. 1) Some other statically positioned element such as a header or footer, or maybe a dialog box/modal, is 'over' and obscuring the thing you want to click. "but why is visible true?" Because visible is checking attributes of the object, not evaluating if a user could actually see it, but rather making sure that the DOM or CSS styling is not hiding it. The solution here is to scroll the element fully into view, see the answer talking about watir-scroll. 2) Some outer container is 'over' the element even if not obscuring it. In this case you can see the thing visually, but the container would get the click.. Which is OK because that's what would happen when a real user tried to click the thing. In this case, experiment to discover the container and try clicking it. See the answer from Super Kevy. -- -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

It is practically impossible to always calculate exactly how to automatically scroll a website such that the desired element is not hidden by static objects overlaid on top. Use watir-scroll to help you - https://github.com/p0deje/watir-scroll Titus On Tuesday, April 19, 2016 at 4:08:52 AM UTC-7, Awesome Possum wrote: > > I am trying to automate tests in Ruby using the latest Watir-Webdriver > 0.9.1, Selenium-Webdriver 2.53.0 and Chrome extension 2.21.
