Selenium can't click element because other element obscures it
Following nr.5 of DebanjanB's answer, I solved it by implying the code to wait for the temporary overlay to dissapear before trying to click,
wait.until(EC.invisibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='blockUI blockOverlay']")))el_xp("//input[@value='Save']").click()
There are several ways to do this, one of the ways is by Javascript executor.
You could say:
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='blockUI blockOverlay']")driver.execute_script("arguments[0].style.visibility='hidden'", element)This way, you can block the div with class = 'blockUI blockOverlay'and your element can be clicked if I'm correct.
Also, you can try to click the element by JavaScript like this:
# element containing the product search bar and buttonssearch_area = el_id('Products').find_element_by_class_name('searchArea')# click element by executing javascriptdriver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", search_area)
