How to fix "Element not interactable" Selenium error in Python?

I was trying to click a popup button and my code shows the error:

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

I have searched but could not find the solution which works for me with the popup buttons.

Image for clicking show 10 rows and displaying the pop-up boxThe attached image is the desired result and 'Show 10 rows' is behind it and lightly seen.

I have this in my HTML code and need to click on the button.

<div class="table-responsive">
<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
    <li class="active"><a data-toggle="tab" id="loadsur" href="#Section" aria-expanded="true">LoadSurvey</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="container-fluid">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-md-12" style="margin-left: -10px;">
            <div class="table-responsive">
                <div id="myDataTable25_wrapper" class="dataTables_wrapper no-footer"><div class="dt-buttons">
                <button class="dt-button buttons-csv buttons-html5" tabindex="0" aria-controls="myDataTable25">
                   <span>Csv</span></button> 
                <button class="dt-button buttons-excel buttons-html5" tabindex="0" aria-controls="myDataTable25">
                   <span>Excel</span></button> 
                <button class="dt-button buttons-collection buttons-page-length" tabindex="0" aria-controls="myDataTable25" aria-haspopup="true">
                   <span>Show 10 rows</span></button> 
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

In Python I tried this:

def single_meter(i=0):
browser=webdriver.Chrome('C:\Webdrivers\chromedriver.exe')
for row in range (5,10):
    browser.get('http://#link'+consumer_ID+'?reportrange=21%2F07%2F2018-25%2F08%2F2019')
        Show10 = find_element_by_xpath("//button[@class='dt-button buttons-collection buttons-page-length']//span[contains(text(),'Show 10 rows')]")
    Show10.click()

I expect to click this button which causes a popup button to appear.

I got a solution to this problem. The error was with the link in the xpath. I later copied and pasted from the html and the code now looks this:

Show10 = find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='myDataTable2_wrapper']/div[1]/button[7]/span")
Show10.click()

And it works fine. Thank all for your help.

It might be in an iframe.

Try first to find the iframe and switch to it.

browser = webdriver.Chrome()
browser.get("http:/link") 
frame_id = 'frame'
wait = WebDriverWait(browser, 10)
wait.until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.ID, frame_id)))

Then try clicking on the button.

Show10 = wait.until(expected_conditions.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[@class='dt-button buttons-collection buttons-page-length']//span[contains(text(),'Show 10 rows')]")))
Show10.click()

Change the xpath with :

//button[@class='dt-button buttons-collection buttons-page-length']//span[contains(text(),'Show 10 rows')]

Try use WebDriverWait for make sure the element exist, and add expected_conditions until the element clickable.

Import this :

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions

Try this :

wait = WebDriverWait(singlemeter, 10)
Show10 = wait.until(expected_conditions.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[@class='dt-button buttons-collection buttons-page-length']//span[contains(text(),'Show 10 rows')]")))
Show10.click()

Or use ActionChains, import this :

from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains

Try this :

ActionChains(singlemeter).move_to_element(Show10).click(Show10).perform()
