Selenium - Element is not clickable at point because another element obscures it

I am using following code to download the excel from this web site, the code was working fine but recently the web page may change so my code doesn't work. It returns this error:

selenium.common.exceptions.ElementClickInterceptedException: Message: Element is not clickable at point (1250,464) because another element obscures it

Here is the code:

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

geckodriver = '/opt/geckodriver'

options = webdriver.FirefoxOptions()
options.add_argument('-headless')

driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=geckodriver, firefox_options=options)

driver.get('https://www.hkex.com.hk/Market-Data/Futures-and-Options-Prices/Equity-Index/Hang-Seng-Index-Futures-and-Options?sc_lang=en#&product=HSI')

WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'ete'))).click()
time.sleep(2)

html = driver.page_source

print(html)

I searched the posts in stackoverflow, I found that I can use ActionChains but I dunno how to apply to until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'ete')))

ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(element).click().perform()

Possibly the Cookie Concent Banner obscures the click.

Solution

Click on Accept button first adding the argument --headless=new and you can download the excel inducing WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use the following locator strategies:

  • Code Block:

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

options = Options()
options.add_argument('--headless=new')
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
driver.get("https://www.hkex.com.hk/Market-Data/Futures-and-Options-Prices/Equity-Index/Hang-Seng-Index-Futures-and-Options?sc_lang=en#&product=HSI")
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button#onetrust-accept-btn-handler"))).click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#ete"))).click()
