Selenium Click is not happening for checkbox within label element

I am trying to click a checkbox on my webpage and the DOM is given below:

<label class='checkbox-module-container'>
<input type='checkbox' class='dummyclass'>

When I tried to click on the input checkbox, I am getting 'Element not clickable' exception.

Tried with JavaScript executor also but no luck.

Is there any workaround to make element click on those elements which are overlapped?

If the HTML DOM is

<label class='checkbox-module-container'>
    <input type='checkbox' class='dummyclass'>
    </input>
</label>

then you can try to click on it like below.

There are 4 ways to click in Selenium.

I will use this xpath

//label[contains(@class,'checkbox-module-container')]//child::input[@type='checkbox']

Code trial 1 :

Thread.sleep(5);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//label[contains(@class,'checkbox-module-container')]//child::input[@type='checkbox']")).click();

Code trial 2 :

new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//label[contains(@class,'checkbox-module-container')]//child::input[@type='checkbox']"))).click();

Code trial 3 :

Thread.sleep(5);
WebElement button = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//label[contains(@class,'checkbox-module-container')]//child::input[@type='checkbox']"));
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();", button);

Code trial 4 :

Thread.sleep(5);
WebElement button  = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//label[contains(@class,'checkbox-module-container')]//child::input[@type='checkbox']"));
new Actions(driver).moveToElement(button).click().build().perform();

PS : Please check in the dev tools (Google chrome) if we have unique entry in HTML DOM or not.

Steps to check:

Press F12 in Chrome -> go to element section -> do a CTRL + F -> then paste the xpath and see, if your desired element is getting highlighted with 1/1 matching node.
