Handling ElementNotInteractableException failure in Selenium for windows, frames, and alerts

Error Name: 

ElementNotInteractableException

Description:

The "ElementNotInteractableException" is a common error that occurs when Selenium is unable to interact with an element on a web page. This error is thrown when the element is present on the page, but not interactable or clickable. It can occur when working with windows, frames, and alerts in Selenium.

Understanding the error:

This error occurs when the Selenium script is unable to interact with a web element on a page because the element is not clickable or interactable.

Causes:

There can be various reasons for this error, including:

The element is hidden or not visible on the page

The element is disabled

The element is overlapped by other elements

The element is outside the visible area of the browser window

The page is still loading or processing, and the element is not yet available

The page structure or content has changed since the script was written, and the element is no longer valid

Recommendations/Methods for debugging:

Debug-1: Check if the element is visible and interactable

To check if the element is visible and interactable, use the "is_displayed()" and "is_enabled()" methods of the WebElement class.

Debugs:

Debug-1: 

Wait for the element to become interactable

If the element is not immediately interactable, it may be necessary to wait for it to become available. Use the "WebDriverWait" class to wait for a specified amount of time for the element to be clickable.

Debug-2: 

Switch to the correct frame or window

If the element is present in a frame or a window, it may be necessary to switch to that frame or window first before interacting with the element.

Debug-3: 

Verify the page structure or content

If the element is still not interactable, it may be because the page structure or content has changed. Verify the page source or inspect the element in the browser's developer tools to confirm that the element is still valid.

After finding the error, please check the line number and file name to identify the root cause of the error. Once the root cause has been identified, follow the relevant Debug method to solve the issue.
