Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.ElementClickInterceptedException: Element <a href=“https://…/list/”> is not clickable at point (120,371) because another element <div class=“preloader”> obscures it

I’m a beginner with Katalon, thanks to all

Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.ElementClickInterceptedException: Element &lt;a href=“https://…/list/”&gt; is not clickable at point (120,371) because another element &lt;div class=“preloader”&gt; obscures it

Your element was obscured by some other element.

3

This element is visible when its attempting the click, it sounds like a loading spinner of some sorts which will be preventing the other element.

What you will need to do is add a waitForElement… step before the click action so that when it performs the click, the “loader” is not obscuring it.

4

Thank you very much, now is ok

5

the medthod “wait for element” before the click is ok on Firefox, but on Chrome I have the same error with the wait element

6

Which wait method are you using, Visible, present etc?

7

the method that I use is “wait for element clickable”

8

hmm that should work fine, could you share your script and the error your recieving now with the wait method added

9

I guess you could also add this step for the loader so it doesnt perform the click till the loader is not visible

10

previously the error was “element could not be scrolled into view”, but I solved from “project - setting - web ui” and modify the “time between”. Thank you hpulsford, wait for a moment and i’ll send the script and error

11

Screen shot of the page would also be helpfull

Hello sir,
I am getting an error while running a script. Please find the below details. Any help is greatly appreciated as I am a newbie to katalon.

Error message:
Unable to wait for object to be clickable

Here is my script:
WebUI.openBrowser(‘’)
WebUI.navigateToUrl(‘https://missionbio.com/’)
WebUI.waitForElementClickable(findTestObject(‘Page_Single Cell Technology Mission Bio/a_SNV’), 40)
WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘Page_Single Cell Technology Mission Bio/a_SNV’))
WebUI.closeBrowser()

@aluri

I looked at the page https://missionbio.com/ , and found that the a_SNV menu is a sub-menu in a dropdown list under the top-level menu CAPABILITIES. The menu is driven by javascript. Possibly the javascript controls the click-ability state of each sub-menu items.

If you want to click the a sub-menu SNV, you need to click the top-level menu CAPABILITIES first. You should not SKIP clicking CAPABILITIES, otherwise the SNV menu will never be turned clickable.

I am getting Unable to click on object error for a button. The UI is built on Angular. I have added ngwebdriver-1.1.4 to the library and added Wait For Element Clickable before the click . Also updated Chrome webdriver . But nothing seem to work.
