Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotInteractableException: element not interactable

Question

I have the following code :

import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Map;

import org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions; import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait; import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions; public class LoginToThePortal { public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException { System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\chromedriver\\chromedriver.exe"); WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver(); driver.manage().window(); driver.get(""); Thread.sleep(2000); WebElement username=driver.findElement(By.id("sfdc_username_container")); Thread.sleep(5000); WebElement password=driver.findElement(By.id("sfdc_password_container")); WebElement login=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"centerPanel\"]/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/div[3]/button/span")); username.sendKeys(""); password.sendKeys(""); login.click(); } } 

And I have received the following error:

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotInteractableException: element not interactable. 

And I don't understand how I have wrong. I will mention that I am at the begin. (I m still learning). Can someone have a look?

Answer 1

Can you try with the below updated xpath's, Hope this will resolve your issue

 System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\chromedriver\\chromedriver.exe"); WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver(); driver.manage().window(); driver.get("https://qa-advisor.cs105.force.com/s/login/"); Thread.sleep(2000); WebElement username = driver.findElement(By.xpath ("//div[@id='sfdc_username_container']//child::div/input[1]")); Thread.sleep(5000); WebElement password = driver.findElement(By.xpath ("//div[@id='sfdc_password_container']//child::div/input[1]")); WebElement login = driver.findElement(By.xpath ("//button[@class='slds-button slds-button--brand loginButton uiButton- -none uiButton']//child::span")); username.sendKeys("test"); password.sendKeys("test"); login.click(); 

Answer 2

To send a character sequence to the Username and Password field you need to use WebDriverWait for the elementToBeClickable() and you can use the following css-selectors based Locator Strategies:

driver.get("https://qa-advisor.cs105.force.com/s/login/"); new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("div#sfdc_username_container input[placeholder='Username']"))).sendKeys("Test"); driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div#sfdc_password_container input[placeholder='Password']")).sendKeys("Test");
