Unable to click on element of dropdown list with errror "element not interactable"

HI there,
could some one help me on this case
i have an dropdown list as below: Imgur: The magic of the Internet

i want to select by timeslot by xpath, value of timeslot comes from variable:

//*[@id=“availableTimeSlot”]//ul/li[@value=“%s”]

to use Test Object from katalon
I need to cast xpath string of timeslot to Test Object via this code:

public class Timeslot {

	public static def TestObject returnXpathOfSelectedTimeslot(String selectorType, String selectorValue) {
		TestObject to = new TestObject()
		to.addProperty(selectorType, ConditionType.EQUALS, selectorValue)
		return to
	}

	public static def String getTimeslotXpathByValue(int timeslot) {
		TestObject timeslotObject = findTestObject('Object Repository/reservationHomePage/Timeslots/timeslotByValue')

		String timeslotString = timeslotObject.findPropertyValue("xpath")

		return  String.format(timeslotString, timeslot)
	}
}

note: after casting, the properly xpath is returned, wait for element present ok but can’t click to it,

ON TESTCASE

int timeslot = 1900

WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/reservationHomePage/Timeslots/pleaseSelect’))

WebUI.delay(1)

WebUI.waitForElementPresent(Timeslot.returnXpathOfSelectedTimeslot(“xpath”, Timeslot.getTimeslotXpathByValue(timeslot)), 3)

WebUI.click(Timeslot.returnXpathOfSelectedTimeslot(“xpath”, Timeslot.getTimeslotXpathByValue(timeslot)), FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE)

WebUI.closeBrowser()

just big note: when i use this: driver.findElement(By.xpath(‘//*[@id=“availableTimeSlot”]//ul/li[@value=“1900”]’)).click()
It can work ok
thank in advance!

Why not skip all of the casting business and just use WebDriver like this? Do you have a requirement to use the Object Repository and the WebUI methods? If not, just stick with what works!
