I have a button which I use the click element to press it. It is a show more button.

webElem$clickElement()

However in some pages the r selenium gives this error:

Selenium message:unknown error: Element <button class = "mybutton">...</button> is not clickable at point (462, 24). Other element would receive the click: <div id="etype">...</div>

Is there any idea if I can make RSelenium go to the specific point or if there is another option than click? Or generally scroll until the element is available?

    `Other element would receive the click:
    ...
    ` There is another element blocking the click. Probably some popup or overlay. Close it and your script should work fine.     – JeffC Feb 26 '18 at 04:32

Try using

remDr$mouseMoveToLocation(webElement = webElem)

before webElem$clickElement(). If the element webElem is not on screen you can't click on it. You must move it into view with the method mouseMoveToLocation.
