ElementNotVisibleException: Message: element not interactable in Robot Framework

Question

Example code:

<div class="modal-footer">
   <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-block" data-modal="AlertSubmitApproval" id="btn_close_modal">ตกลง</button>
</div>

I try to click the button id="btn_close_modal" but it seems like the button is not visible then robot response ElementNotVisibleException: Message: element not interactable, in spite of the fact I able to click by manual.

My robot code:

Request approve
Selenium2Library.Click Element   &{Landing}[reqApprove]
Sleep   2s
Selenium2Library.Click Element   &{Landing}[cofReq]
Sleep   2s
Selenium2Library.Wait Until Page Contains Element     id=btn_close_modal    timeout=20s
Sleep   3s
Selenium2Library.Click Element   id=btn_close_modal

How can I able to click the button id=btn_close_modal, please could anyone help.

@A. Kootstra It's really not unique, thank you that you made me think about that, now it work by //button[@id='btn_close_modal' and @data-modal="AlertSubmitApproval"] — Sawitree Cha, Nov 01 '18 at 09:50

The desired element is within a Modal Dialog Box so you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element to be visible/enabled and you can use either/both (clubbing up) of the following solutions:

Wait Until Element Is Visible:

Request approve
Selenium2Library.Click Element   &{Landing}[reqApprove]
Sleep   2s
Selenium2Library.Click Element   &{Landing}[cofReq]
Sleep   2s
Selenium2Library.Wait Until Element Is Visible     xpath=//button[@class="btn btn-primary btn-block" and @id="btn_close_modal"]    timeout=20s
Sleep   3s
Selenium2Library.Click Element   xpath=//button[@class="btn btn-primary btn-block" and @id="btn_close_modal"]

Wait Until Element Is Enabled:

Request approve
Selenium2Library.Click Element   &{Landing}[reqApprove]
Sleep   2s
Selenium2Library.Click Element   &{Landing}[cofReq]
Sleep   2s
Selenium2Library.Wait Until Element Is Enabled     xpath=//button[@class="btn btn-primary btn-block" and @id="btn_close_modal"]    timeout=20s
Sleep   3s
Selenium2Library.Click Element   xpath=//button[@class="btn btn-primary btn-block" and @id="btn_close_modal"]

try using this,

Click Element       //button[@id='btn_close_modal']

or try using java script executor,

Wait Until Page Does Not Contain   NOBODY SELECTED
Execute JavaScript  $("#btn_close_modal").click();
