Selenium ElementClickInterceptedException
The ElementClickInterceptedException is a common exception that can be raised when using the Selenium WebDriver to interact with a web page.
This exception is usually thrown when an attempt is made to click on an element that is not clickable or has another element obstructing it.
There are several reasons why this exception may occur:
The element may be hidden or not visible on the page.
The element may be covered by another element such as a popup, modal, or tooltip.
The element may be in a disabled state or not enabled for interaction.
The page may be still loading or updating, and the element is not yet ready for interaction.
To resolve this exception, you can try the following:
Wait for the element to be clickable using a WebDriverWait. This method waits until the element is visible and enabled on the page.
Check if there are any pop-ups, modals or other elements that are blocking the element and close them before interacting with the element.
Make sure the element is not in a disabled state or not enabled for interaction.
Add a wait time for the page to load or update before interacting with the element.
