    # Get the list of elements
    elements = driver.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME,'custom-control-input')
    
    # Select a random element from the list
    random_element = random.choice(elements)
    driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", random_element)

    # Click on the selected element
    random_element.click()
    print("Element selected: ", random_element)
    time.sleep(5)
    
    driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"//*[@id='accKey']").click()
    time.sleep(5)

I've been add "argument.click[]","webdriver wait until EC to be clickable" but still showing "Element not interactable. What would be the other possible solution? Hope someone could clarify for me. Thanks and have a nice day.

Answer 1

Solution :

• To iterate from list and have a random element to be clicked on
• Snippet

    elements = []

    # Get the list of elements
    elements = driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, "//div[@class='custom-control custom-switch mt-2 mb-2']")
    size = len(elements)
    for element in elements:
     if element:
      element_to_be_clicked = elements[random.randint(0, len(elements))]
      element_to_be_clicked.click()
    print("Permission Selected:-", elements)
    time.sleep(3)

Answer 2

https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/#interactability

A element is determined to be interactable using above checklist . Sometimes we end up in situation where we cannot find the exact interactable element .

One solution would be:

1. use actions to click
2. get aactive element
3. get outerHTML

nodejs :

driver.actions().click(elem)
let elem =driver.switchTo().activeElement()
let elementTagstring  = elem.getAttribute('outerHTML')
console.log(elementTagstring)

the outerHTML shows the element tag and then you can find the attributes to locate it .
