How to resolve the issue "Element not clickable at point (x, y). Other element would receive

Hi,

Getting error as "Element … is not clickable at point (244, 356). Other element would receive the click: "

I have tried using Delay, but still not helping. I have also used Click using Javascript but it doesn’t click on the required button and further show the results as Passed.

Basically i want to upload the file on click of Browse button. I have tried the Upload feature of Katalon Studio, but still no success…It gives error as Element could not focus

Not getting any further solution, Kindly assist!

Hi Girish, I have had this problem before, it could be one of two things:

#1- The button can not be clicked unless it is in view.
To solve this you may need to scroll the page down, there should be commands for that, but I did this previously in Robot Framework so I am not familiar with how to do this in Katalon yet.

#2- A pop up is preventing the the button from being clicked.
This option is probably more likely. Some buttons have an issue when notification bars or buttons are still active. Try closing any cookie notifications or non necessary toolbars within the browser before running the action that is causing the error.
If doing that solves the problem, then it may be worth adding the close actions to the test set up script.

Hope that helps!

Hi, I am also getting the same error. I already tried scroll to element but it does’t fix it. Also, there’s no element that obscure it. My browser window is also maximized.

Here is the error message:

See #4

It didn’t work for me. I observe the test execution and it didn’t click the link.

WebElement element = WebUiCommonHelper.findWebElement(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/a_Trailer Tracking Summary’), 30)

WebUI.executeJavaScript(‘arguments[0].click’, Arrays.asList(element))

What is the error message ?

There’s no error message. The step next to it is not found since the link was not clicked in the first place.
Here’s the complete script:

Hi @HeleneB ,

You already have the import in your script, so it’s not the error on ‘normal’ run.
Did you try add a step waitForElementPresent / waitForElementClickable or waitForElementVisible before the click ?

I already tried that step but still the same error.

Hi, I already resolved this. “()” is just missing.

This is the correct one:

WebElement element = WebUiCommonHelper.findWebElement(findTestObject('your/object'),30)
WebUI.executeJavaScript("arguments[0].click()", Arrays.asList(element))
