Error message:

selenium.common.exceptions.ElementClickInterceptedException: Message: element click intercepted: Element <input type="submit" class="button" name="update_cart" value="Update Basket"> is not clickable at point (1226, 293). Other element would receive the click: <td class="product-subtotal" data-title="Total">...</td>

 

Why is wrong with my Xpath? why is an element that is in the previous row in the table receiving click? Please help. What am I doing wrong? why is an element that is in the previous row getting click

 

Answer 1

Can you try using only,

 

wait_variable.until(E.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"//input[@name ='update_cart']"))).click()

and not the complete xpath from //table onwards

Thanks Mayur,
I tried increasing the wait time to up to 600 as you suggested. And got same error when tried with  code :
1. wait_variable.until(E.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"//tbody/tr[2]/td/input[@name ='update_cart']"))).click()
2.wait_variable.until(E.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"//input[@name ='update_cart']"))).click()

And timeout Exception with the following code
wait_variable.until(E.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"//tbody/tr/following-sibling::tr/td/input[2]"))).click()

What should I do now?

Thanks

Ratna

Can you try using element by Name instead of XPath?

Something equivalent of,

document.getElementsByName("update_cart")

When I tried the above on my browser console, it works.

I am not in touch with Python, but, you can try this line, or you will have to find some equivalent of it.

wait_variable.until(E.element_to_be_clickable((By.NAME,"update_cart"))).click()
