Question

I’ve been browsing around trying to find a solution to this but none of the solutions have worked for me thus far.

Here is a quick test I’ve thrown together where its simply trying to click the ‘close’ button to close a modal pop up. I can step through my test in Visual Studio and it will work fine. When I run the test in Nunit, it will error. I’ve tried the following based upon others issues and suggestions given to them:-

• putting in waits all over the place
• changing from the chrome driver to firefox
• changing to maximised window mode
• re-working it every which way I can think of

The modal is not an iframe or anything like that. I seem to be getting the following error:

Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
—-> System.InvalidOperationException : Element is not clickable at point (922.5, 342.0999755859375). Other element would receive the click:

which is why I was fiddling with maximised and normal sized modes.

Looking for any suggestions as it’s got me stumped..

Thanks

Answer 1

If the modal is already in the DOM(ie. not loaded via ajax) you may need to change it to wait for element visible (assuming the modal is hidden). This is because the element is present always, just not visible. This explains why it works when you step through it in debug mode also.

Try using something like

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(_driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementIsVisible(By.XPath("//div[@id='ElementYouWantToTarget']")));
