@ignacio.taladua So how are you finding the button? via xpath or some other means?

1. If you can never get the button to click, then I may suggest to change the xpath to the “parent” element just above the button, be it a div or other. If it is only sometimes, and you are already using waitForElementClickable(), then can you show us any code so that we may improve the method you have of locating the element.

2. You can perhaps use JS…

Not able to click on Button Using Katalon studio

There are many post here in Forum that solves your issue. In my case I had the same problem where Click keyword was not working on some buttons but on some buttons it was working. So based on the help from Forum I created a custom keyword with below code and tried to click the same element using the Custom Keyword “Click using Java Script” . It worked fine. Give it a try : package clickusingjavascript import static com.kms.katalon.core.checkpoint.CheckpointFactory.findCheckpoint import static…

3. There is also the possible use of the method:

WebUI.enhancedClick(TestObject to)`

The above method allows to click on the given element using various trial-and-error methods
https://docs.katalon.com/javadoc/com/kms/katalon/core/webui/keyword/WebUiBuiltInKeywords.html

Thanks, did use the enhance click option and it works though it kinda slow to load.
