ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable error while sending text to Email field on Quora using Selenium with Python

Here is my code: 

from selenium import webdriver

user = "[email protected]"

browser = webdriver.Chrome("/path/to/browser/")

browser.get("https://www.quora.com/")

username = browser.find_element_by_name("email")

browser.implicitly_wait(10)

username.send_keys(user)

Here is the error message:

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

I think there is another thread with a similar issue. Either the solutions in that thread didn't work for me or I don't know how to implement the solutions.

If you are using the Select aproach like:

from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select

try this

Select(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '''//*[@id="ReportViewer1_ctl04_ctl07_ddValue"]''')))).select_by_visible_text(str(x))

To send a character sequence to the Email field within Login section of Quora you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element to be clickable and you can use the following solution:

  • Code Block:

    from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() 
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
# options.add_argument('disable-infobars')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("https://www.quora.com/")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='title login_title' and text()='Login']//following::div[1]//input[@class='text header_login_text_box ignore_interaction']"))).send_keys("[email protected]")

from selenium import webdriver

user = "[email protected]"

browser = webdriver.Chrome("/path/to/browser/")

browser.get("https://www.quora.com/")

username = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@class='text header_login_text_box ignore_interaction' and @type='text']")

browser.implicitly_wait(10)

username.send_keys(user)

Here You can find Why ElementNotInteractableException occurs.

find_element_by_name("email")

is present multiple times in DOM. So that wouldn't work.

You can try with this css selector : 

input[class*='header_login_text_box'][name='email']

Code : 

username = browser.find_element_by_css_selector("input[class*='header_login_text_box'][name='email']")

username.send_keys("[email protected]")

As said in comment, the locator used returning two elements and required element is second one. driver trying to interact with first element, so exception is throwing.

good see in console, the locator returning required one or not.

> $$("[name='email']") (2) [input#__w2_wD9e9Qgz12_email.text, input#__w2_wD9e9Qgz18_email.text.header_login_text_box.ignore_interaction]
> 0: input#__w2_wD9e9Qgz12_email.text 1:
> input#__w2_wD9e9Qgz18_email.text.header_login_text_box.ignore_interaction
> length: 2
> __proto__: Array(0)

go for another locator, if not able to figure it out another locator, then comment, will help you.
