How to use ElementClickInterceptedException class of org.openqa.selenium package

Best Selenium code snippet using org.openqa.selenium.ElementClickInterceptedException

ElementClickInterceptedException `org.openqa.selenium.ElementClickInterceptedException`

Most of the time, ElementClickInterceptedException raised due to any other dom element is overlaying/obscuring the element that need to be clicked.


1Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.ElementClickInterceptedException:
2element click intercepted:
3Element <input value="Google Search" aria-label="Google Search" name="btnK" type="submit">
4 is not clickable at point (596, 368).
5Other element would receive the click: <span>...</span>

Example

It is an example code for clicking an element using javascript executor rather using Selenium based click method to avoid ElementClickInterceptedException


1public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
2   System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\PATH\chromedriver.exe");
3   WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
4   driver.manage().window().maximize();
5   driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
6   driver.get("https://google.com");
7
8   driver.findElement(By.name("q")).sendKeys("facebook");
9   WebElement searchButton = driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//input[@value='Google Search'])[2]"));
10   JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
11   js.executeScript("arguments[0].click()", searchButton);
12}

Solutions

Add wait as sometime websites are not fully loaded
Check network speed which may cause the website rendering slow
Check any overlaying dom element which block click action to the target element
Use Javascript executor to click the element
