ElementNotVisibleException: Message: element not interactable in Robot Framework

Example code:

<div class="modal-footer">
   <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-block" data-modal="AlertSubmitApproval" id="btn_close_modal">ตกลง</button>
</div>

I try to click the button id="btn_close_modal" but it seems like the button is not visible then robot response ElementNotVisibleException: Message: element not interactable, in spite of the fact I able to click by manual.

My robot code:

Request approve
Selenium2Library.Click Element   &{Landing}[reqApprove]
Sleep   2s
Selenium2Library.Click Element   &{Landing}[cofReq]
Sleep   2s
Selenium2Library.Wait Until Page Contains Element     id=btn_close_modal    timeout=20s
Sleep   3s
Selenium2Library.Click Element   id=btn_close_modal

How can I able to click the button id=btn_close_modal, please could anyone help.

If the other answers do not help, try running the test on another monitor or in headless mode.

For me, the error appeared when running the test browser on a 1440p monitor but everything was fine with headlesschrome or on a 1080p monitor.

Try to use Press keys instead of Click Element. Press Keys locator_here ENTER or Press Keys locator_here SPACE

The desired element is within a Modal Dialog Box so you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element to be visible/enabled and you can use either/both (clubbing up) of the following solutions:

  • Wait Until Element Is Visible:

    Request approve
Selenium2Library.Click Element   &{Landing}[reqApprove]
Sleep   2s
Selenium2Library.Click Element   &{Landing}[cofReq]
Sleep   2s
Selenium2Library.Wait Until Element Is Visible     xpath=//button[@class="btn btn-primary btn-block" and @id="btn_close_modal"]    timeout=20s
Sleep   3s
Selenium2Library.Click Element   xpath=//button[@class="btn btn-primary btn-block" and @id="btn_close_modal"]

  • Wait Until Element Is Enabled:

    Request approve
Selenium2Library.Click Element   &{Landing}[reqApprove]
Sleep   2s
Selenium2Library.Click Element   &{Landing}[cofReq]
Sleep   2s
Selenium2Library.Wait Until Element Is Enabled     xpath=//button[@class="btn btn-primary btn-block" and @id="btn_close_modal"]    timeout=20s
Sleep   3s
Selenium2Library.Click Element   xpath=//button[@class="btn btn-primary btn-block" and @id="btn_close_modal"]

  • You can find a detailed discussion about Wait Until Element Is Visible and Wait Until Element Is Enabled in Robotframework: Selenium2Lib: Wait Until (…) Keywords

try using this,

Click Element       //button[@id='btn_close_modal']

or try using java script executor,

Wait Until Page Does Not Contain   NOBODY SELECTED
Execute JavaScript  $("#btn_close_modal").click();
