  • If you "can't share the traceback," then you need a [mcve]. Actually, you need one anyway. – jpmc26 Aug 03 '17 at 14:29

    Please edit your question and put all relevant info inside the question instead of in comments so it's more easily found. – JeffC Aug 03 '17 at 14:38
  • The element isn't disabled. Another element would receive the click so some other element is on top of the element you are trying to click. This could be something like a dialog or a sidebar or it could be that the page was still loading, resizing content when you tried to click. We can't tell because you haven't provided any details. – JeffC Aug 03 '17 at 14:40
  • Thanks @JeffC ! there was a tiny icon over the label I was trying to click! Finally worked! – Sahana Aug 03 '17 at 14:58

try this

driver.execute_script('arguments[0].click();', driver.find_element_by_id(element_id))
