Python and Selenium To “execute_script” to solve “ElementNotVisibleException”

Alternative option would be to make the click() inside execute_script():

# wait for element to become presentwait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)checkbox = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.NAME, "keywords_here")))driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", checkbox)

where EC is imported as:

from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

Alternatively and as an another shot in the dark, you can use the element_to_be_clickable Expected Condition and perform the click in a usual way:

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)checkbox = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.NAME, "keywords_here")))checkbox.click()

I had some issues with expected conditions, I prefer building my own timeout.

import timefrom selenium import webdriverfrom selenium.common.exceptions import \    NoSuchElementException, \    WebDriverExceptionfrom selenium.webdriver.common.by import Byb = webdriver.Firefox()url = 'the url'b.get(url)locator_type = By.XPATHlocator = "//label[contains(text(),' keywords_here')]/../input[@type='checkbox']"timeout = 10success = Falsewait_until = time.time() + timeoutwhile wait_until < time.time():    try:        element = b.find_element(locator_type, locator)        assert element.is_displayed()        assert element.is_enabled()        element.click() # or if you really want to use an execute script for it, you can do that here.        success = True        break    except (NoSuchElementException, AssertionError, WebDriverException):        passif not success:    error_message = 'Failed to click the thing!'    print(error_message)

might want to add InvalidElementStateException, and StaleElementReferenceException
