I have had issues finding the correct Xpath for selenium for the facebook messenger text box (the Type a message, @name box)...

Trying to automate a Facebook chat feature. I have tried using by_xpath, by_id, by_name_class, etc.. and nothing seems to work.

text_box = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="js_m"]/div/div[1]').click()
text_box.send_keys(msg)

Here is the error message:

Other Element would receive the click: 

<div class ="_3ixn"></div>"

  • Not sure it's legal to automate the stuff on FB, check their policies. However, here the problem is not with the locator (xpath), there is some other element overlapping the element that you are trying to click. – supputuri Jun 20 '19 at 04:43
