Same Element becomes unclickable during iteration

I'm using Selenium Python to do the same action for different users and the flow is as follows,

1- the webpage show list of user ids 2- I search for 1 user-id (Iteration) 3- I click on the check box next to the user-id 4- I click on done

My issue is with the check box, it is clickable in the first row of iteration but then it becomes unclickable with the next row.

Checkbox Element:

<input type="checkbox" class="ant-checkbox-input" value="" xpath="1">

I have also tried ActionChains but I got the error: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document

Thank you

the input checkbox might be in disable state or some javascript load is yet to happen before checkbox become availabe.

try this code:

from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
WebDriverWait(driver, 15).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"//tbody/tr[1]/td[1]/span[1]/label[1]/span[1]/input[1]"))).click()

another problem might be xpath changes depending on user you logged in.

from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
WebDriverWait(driver, 15).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,'//input [@type="checkbox"]'))).click()

above code will work only if you have 1 checkbox.

This code will try to click all the check boxes present on page, if this works we could narrow down XPath.

els=driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//input [@type="checkbox"]')
for el in els:
 try:
  el.click()
 except:
  pass
