Question

from selenium import webdriver

import os

Game_Pin = input('Enter your PIN: ')
NickNAME = input('Enter your nickname: ')

def OK_GO(driver):
    driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@class='btn btn-greyscale join ng-binding']").click()


def Kahoot_Spammer(Game_Pin, NickNAME, driver):
    driver.get('https://kahoot.it/')
    driver.maximize_window() #For maximizing window
    driver.implicitly_wait(2) #gives an implicit wait for 2 seconds

    game_pin = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='inputSession']")
    game_pin.send_keys(Game_Pin)
    Enter_Press(driver)

    driver.implicitly_wait(2)

    Name.send_keys(NickNAME)
    OK_GO(driver)




Kahoot_Spammer(Game_Pin, NickNAME, driver)

The program works fine until you get to a certain point. Then selenium cannot click a button. It gives me this error.

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Element <button type="submit" class="btn btn-greyscale join ng-binding" blocking="" data-functional-selector="join-button-username">...</button> is not clickable at point (1279, 741). Other element would receive the click: <div id="waitOverlay" class="alert-fullscreen valignwrapper" data-functional-selector="wait-overlay" style="opacity: 0.7;">...</div>

Here is the code for the button I am trying to click.

<button class="btn btn-greyscale join ng-binding" type="submit" data-functional-selector="join-button-username" blocking="">            OK, go!          </button>

You can use action class to resolve this exception,

action=ActionChains(driver)
action.move_to_element("Your element").click().build().perform()

Note for others: I needed to remove build() for this to work for my application. – scottlittle Aug 30 '19 at 16:24

You use implicitly_wait as a wrong way. In selenium implicitly wait is for setting the find duration of all selenium find API, like find_element_by_xxx. Rather than used for waiting page refresh/load complete.

From the error message we can know, when you click on the Go button, but another element (A layer display loading which at top of the GO button ) received the click event.

So you need to wait the loading layer disappear before click anything covered by it.

Enter_Press(driver)

// driver.implicitly_wait(2) 
// remove above 'implicitly_wait' line, 
// you set the find duration to 2 seconds, the default value is 10 seconds. 
// we don't recommend to change this default value, unless you are doing 
// performance testing to expect the element comes out on page in short time.
// Selenium will return the find result once it found before 10 seconds, 
// otherwise throw `NoSuchElementException` if exceed 10 seconds.

diver.wait(xxx) // or simply use sleep() to wait the `loading` disappear.

Name = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='username']")
Name.send_keys(NickNAME)
OK_GO(driver)
