only headless mode – element is not clickable at point, Other element would receive the click

Question

I tried to click on a dropdown box by Chrome Selenium python.
Chrome 110
python version 3

This box can be found OK, but when click() was performed, The error ElementClickIntercepted occured.
…Element MyElement is not clickable at point (x, y)… Other element would receive the click…
The abnormal that when i tried to click that box on UI mode(No –headless option), it’s OK, no error occurs. This error occurs only with –headless mode. It seems other element covered on my element. i cannot have solution for this

Someone please help me.

I tried serveral solution that i found in here such as

Wait object
Action Chains
Scroll to object
Maximum windows size
But all of them are not working.

Answer 1

Try using JavaScript to perform click() (assuming you haven’t tried it already)

element = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "enter the XPath expression here/or any locator")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)

Anyway, after trying many click methods. I found one method to select a directly value option in the dropdown menu. Here is code:

from selenium import webdriver

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select

import time
 
# using chrome driver

driver=webdriver.Chrome()
 
# web page url

driver.get("https://fs2.formsite.com/meherpavan/form2/index.html?1537702596407")
 
# find id of option

x = driver.find_element_by_id('RESULT_RadioButton-9')

drop=Select(x)
 
# select by visible text

drop.select_by_visible_text("Afternoon")

time.sleep(4)
driver.close()
