ElementNotVisibleException: Message: element not interactable error while trying to click a button through Selenium and Python

The element with text as Close is a dynamic element so to locate the element you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element to be clickable and you can use either of the following solutions:

  • Using CSS_SELECTOR:

    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.action-bar button.c-button.c-button--blue"))).click()
    
  • Using XPATH:

    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[contains(@class, 'action-bar')]//button[@class="c-button c-button--blue" and normalize-space()='Close']"))).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
