Ruby Selenium Webdriver Element is not clickable

I am getting an error

Element is not clickable at point (100,12). Other Element would receive this click

I did some research on the issue and here are the solutions I have tried

  1. Maximize Window

    driver.manage.window.maximize

  2. Scroll into view

    driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element)
sleep(3)

None of these seem to work.

Here is the layout of the HTML

 <body>
   <div>
     <div>
       <div>
         <ul>
           <li> <a> Click me </a>
   ...

The way I get the element is

 element = driver.find_element(:xpath, "//li/a[contains(text(), 'Click me')]"

Anyone know what I am doing wrong? What could I do more?

In this case you should try to perform click using .execute_script as below :-

element = driver.find_element(:xpath, "//li/a[contains(text(), 'Click me')]")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)

Hope it will help you...:)

If you're trying to click on the element using its coordinates, make sure you have the exact coordinates. You can try the code below:

ele = driver.find_element(:xpath, "//li/a[contains(text(), 'Click me')]"

int eleXCoordinate = ele.getLocation().getX();
int eleYCoordinate = ele.getLocation().getY();

Now use Robot class to first verify if the coordinates are correct

Robot robot = new Robot();
robot.mouseMove(dragElementXCoordinate, dragElementYCoordinate);

If mouse moves on to the element, you're good to go. Else try hit-and-trial to add some values to arrive at the exact coordinates. For eg.

Robot robot = new Robot();
robot.mouseMove(dragElementXCoordinate +310, dragElementYCoordinate +100);

Now that you can see on the screen that mouse moves over to the element, perform click

robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);

And then release the click

robot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);

Hope this helps!
