Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.ElementClickInterceptedException: element click intercepted: [duplicate] - selenium

Question

I have a project that I am working on with java and selenium.
the test work OK in UI mode.
However in headless mode I get this error
org.openqa.selenium.ElementClickInterceptedException: element click intercepted: Element <label _ngcontent-yrc-c26="" formcontrolname="reportingDealPermission" nz-checkbox="" class="ant-checkbox-wrapper ng-untouched ng-pristine ng-valid" ng-reflect-name="reportingDealPermission">...</label> is not clickable at point (161, 562). Other element would receive the click: <div _ngcontent-yrc-c26="" class="footer">...</div>
how can I resolve this issue (working in UI mode). this is my code
WebDriver driver = getWebDriver();
WebElement element;
Thread.sleep(60000);
element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//label[#formcontrolname='reportingDealPermission']"));
element.click();
why in selenium there is no operation to move to the element and break all layers.
this is the UI.
this is working in UI mode not working in headless mode, made sleep for 6 minutes and not resolved so this is not time issue

Answer 1

This error message...
org.openqa.selenium.ElementClickInterceptedException: element click intercepted: Element <label _ngcontent-yrc-c26="" formcontrolname="reportingDealPermission" nz-checkbox="" class="ant-checkbox-wrapper ng-untouched ng-pristine ng-valid" ng-reflect-name="reportingDealPermission">...</label> is not clickable at point (161, 562). Other element would receive the click: <div _ngcontent-yrc-c26="" class="footer">...</div>
...implies that the click on the desired element was intercepted by some other element.
Clicking an element
Ideally, while invoking click() on any element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the elementToBeClickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
cssSelector:
new WebDriverWait(getWebDriver(), 10).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("label[formcontrolname=reportingDealPermission][ng-reflect-name=reportingDealPermission]"))).click();
xpath:
new WebDriverWait(getWebDriver(), 10).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//label[#formcontrolname='reportingDealPermission' and #ng-reflect-name='reportingDealPermission']"))).click();
Update
After changing to headless if it still doesn't works and still get exception there still a couple of other measures to consider as follows:
Chrome browser in Headless mode doesn't opens in maximized mode. So you have to use either of the following commands/arguments to maximize the headless browser Viewport:
Adding the argument start-maximized
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--headless");
options.addArguments("start-maximized");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
Adding the argument --window-size
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--headless");
options.addArguments("--window-size=1400,600");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
Using setSize()
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--headless");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.manage().window().setSize(new Dimension(1440, 900));
You can find a detailed discussion in Not able to maximize Chrome Window in headless mode
Additionally, you can also wait for the intercept element to be invisible using the ExpectedConditions invisibilityOfElementLocated before attempting the click() as follows:
cssSelector:
new WebDriverWait(getWebDriver(), 10).until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector("div.footer")));
new WebDriverWait(getWebDriver(), 10).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("label[formcontrolname=reportingDealPermission][ng-reflect-name=reportingDealPermission]"))).click();
xpath:
new WebDriverWait(getWebDriver(), 10).until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//div[#class='footer']")));
new WebDriverWait(getWebDriver(), 10).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//label[#formcontrolname='reportingDealPermission' and #ng-reflect-name='reportingDealPermission']"))).click();

Answer 2

Try adding an explicit wait
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//label[#formcontrolname='reportingDealPermission']"))).click();
and if this doesn't work then try using the JS Executor
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//label[#formcontrolname='reportingDealPermission']")));
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);

Answer 3

None of the above answers worked for me. Try using action class as follows:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='footer']"));
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(element).click().build().perform();

Answer 4

For this issue:
org.openqa.selenium.ElementClickInterceptedException: element click intercepted: Element <label _ngcontent-yrc-c26="" formcontrolname="reportingDealPermission" nz-checkbox="" class="ant-checkbox-wrapper ng-untouched ng-pristine ng-valid" ng-reflect-name="reportingDealPermission">...</label> is not clickable at point (161, 562).
Another element receives the click:
Answer is to explicitly wait with javascript executor. This combination is working for me:
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//label[#formcontrolname='reportingDealPermission']")));
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);

Answer 5

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10); ---> has deprecated and it gives an error. Please use below instead:
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10));
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//label[#formcontrolname='reportingDealPermission']"))).click();
Ensure to import relevant items for the WebDriverWait and ExpectedConditions.

Answer 6

In my case "JavaScript" works:
WebElement ele = driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//input[#name='btnK'])[2]"));
JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
jse.executeScript("arguments[0].click()", ele);

Answer is worked for me.

Answer 8

In my case, nothing worked. Only the THREAD.SLEEP() method worked!
