This error message…

selenium.common.exceptions.ElementClickInterceptedException: Message: element click intercepted: 
Element <input type="radio" name="docTypes" ng-model="$ctrl.documentTypes.selected" id="documentType-0" ng-change="$ctrl.onChangeDocumentType()" ng-value="documentType" tabindex="0" class="ng-pristine ng-untouched ng-valid ng-empty" value="[object Object]" aria-invalid="false"> 
is not clickable at point (338, 202). 
Other element would receive the click:
 <label translate-attr="{title: 'fulfillment.documentAction.createNew.modal.documentType.document.title'}" translate-values="{documentName: documentType.name}" for="documentType-0" translate="ASN - DSD" tabindex="0" title="Select ASN - DSD document type">...</label>

…implies that the desired element wasn’t clickable as some other element obscures it.

The desired element is a Angular element so to invoke click() on the element you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

  • Using CSS_SELECTOR:

    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "label[for="documentType-0"]"))).click()

  • Using XPATH:

    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//label[@for="documentType-0"]"))).click()

  • Note : You have to add the following imports :

    from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

Update

As an alternative you can use the execute_script() method as follows:

  • Using CSS_SELECTOR:

    driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "label[for="documentType-0"]"))))

  • Using XPATH:

    driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//label[@for="documentType-0"]"))))
