Selenium ChromeDriver - Element is not clickable

Question

The following site below recently updated their UI and my existing code no longer works for reasons I cannot figure out. My function (proline_go_to_match1) used to select and click on the game using the PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT where I passed the team name. The team name exists in the link however I am getting the error message pasted below. I have included my code snippet and would greatly appreciate if anyone knows why this happening and how to fix it.

Thank you very much!

Website: https://prolineplus.olg.ca/en-ca/event-path/?p23795-NBA

Error message:

"Message: element click intercepted: Element <a href="/en-ca/event/?e109531-NBA-Basketball-USA-Toronto-Raptors-Atlanta-Hawks">...</a> is not clickable at point (415, 697). Other element would receive the click: <div class="cc-content">...</div>"

Code:

def proline_go_to_match1(driver, team):
    try:
        match = WebDriverWait(driver, 15).until(
            EC.presence_of_element_located((By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT, team))
        )
        match.click()
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)

proline_driver = webdriver.Chrome()
proline_driver.get('https://prolineplus.olg.ca/en-ca/event-path/?p23795-NBA')

capitalized_team = "TORONTO RAPTORS"
proline_go_to_match1(proline_driver,capitalized_team)

Here I have circled the link I would like click passing "TORONTO RAPTORS"

I don't see `TORONTO RAPTORS` anywhere in the page? Can you help us navigate where exactly it is present? — cruisepandey, Apr 06 '22 at 09:17

Seems you are close enough.

Instead of presence_of_element_located() you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use the following locator strategy:

Using PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT, f"{capitalized_team}"))).click()

Using XPATH:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[contains(., '" +capitalized_team+ "')]"))).click()

Update

It's the cookie banner content which blocks your click

cookie_content

Solution

You need to accept the cookies:

driver.get("https://prolineplus.olg.ca/en-ca/event-path/?p23795-NBA")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button.cc-btn.cc-dismiss"))).click()
capitalized_team = "TORONTO RAPTORS"
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT, f"{capitalized_team}"))).click()

Browser Snapshot:

TORONTO RAPTORS

Thank you for the response I greatly appreciate you taking the time to help me! However I have tried you suggestion and it doesn't seem to work. Can you please show an example of using the XPATH solution in my function? When I try adding match = WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT, "team"))) match.click() it does not click the link – jwalman Apr 05 '22 at 19:22
@jwalman - What's the value you passed in the "team" parameter? – Muhammad Farooq Apr 05 '22 at 20:13
@MuhammadFarooq, I passed capitalized_team = "TORONTO RAPTORS" – jwalman Apr 05 '22 at 20:23
@jwalman Instead of `team` shouldn't you be passing _`capitalized_team`_? – undetected Selenium Apr 05 '22 at 20:24
Yes when I call the function I use the variable capitalized_team which is the variable team within the function. Regardless the value being passed is "TORONTO RAPTORS" – jwalman Apr 05 '22 at 20:34
@undetectedSelenium it appears that your code is clicking the container where each game is line and link is stored but not clicking the actual link. On the website when I click the larger container a blue outline is shown. I have added a screenshot to further show the link I am trying to click. Thank you for the help I really appreciate it! – jwalman Apr 05 '22 at 20:35
@jwalman Checkout the updated answer and let me know the status. – undetected Selenium Apr 05 '22 at 20:50

@undetectedSelenium Your solution works when I add the code but for some reason does not work when I add it into my function. I am not sure why that is. Can you please update your solution to where it uses the function? This would be wonderful, thank you!! – jwalman Apr 05 '22 at 20:59
@jwalman Would love to look into it. Can you raise a new question with all the relevant details? – undetected Selenium Apr 05 '22 at 21:01
@undetectedSelenium Please refer to this question my original code snippet utilizes a function where I pass the team name to click the correct link – jwalman Apr 05 '22 at 21:02

Not sure if this is of use, but you could get the data from the api as opposed to Selenium:

import requests
import pandas as pd
import re
# pip install choice
import choice


url = 'https://www.online.polg.abpo.io/metal/v3/sportsbookdata/current/events/usview'
headers = {
    'X-LVS-HSToken': '9aBYBhGVpb9NCGAmideXXVg4OOns72-U1tVMKw9vWyFftWb69mYm8TUWzepu-MgXcR1TOjgDJW0x_na5eW9ySoDuV4MsBe8j0N8P-ylZeHt82zVkbB3fNUUYmwV1gUmPxWlGtFi7DZRDMbbLAOJ18g=='
    }
payload = {
    'eventPathIds': '23795',
    'eventsPerPage': '5',
    'pageIndex': '0'}



jsonData = requests.get(url, params=payload, headers=headers).json()

eventData = []
for k, v in jsonData['items'].items():
    if 'e' in k:
        temp_dict = v.copy()
        temp_dict.update({'eventId':k})
        eventData.append(temp_dict)
        
eventIds = {each['desc']:each['eventId'] for each in eventData}
     
game = choice.Menu(list(eventIds.keys())).ask()
eventId = re.search('(\d.*)', eventIds[game]).group(1)



url = f'https://www.online.polg.abpo.io/metal/v3/sportsbookdata/current/events/{eventId}'
payload= {'extraMarkets': 'true'}
jsonData = requests.get(url, params=payload, headers=headers).json()

results_df = pd.json_normalize(jsonData['items'].values())

Output:

Make a choice:
 0: Dallas Mavericks @ Detroit Pistons
 1: Brooklyn Nets @ New York Knicks
 2: Boston Celtics @ Chicago Bulls
 3: Washington Wizards @ Atlanta Hawks
 4: Oklahoma City Thunder @ Utah Jazz

Enter number or name; return for next page
