ElementNotInteractableException: element not interactable error sending text to Email field

Question

Set-up

Trying to log into this log-in form using Python and Selenium.

Code

url = 'https://activeshop.com.pl/customer/account/login/'
browser.get(url)


# fill out login details 
account_name = 'my@email.com' 
password = 'mypassword' 

login_details = {
                'login': account_name,
                'password': password
                }

# inserts account name in login field      
fill_field('id','email',login_details['login'])      

# inserts password in password field
fill_field('id','pass',login_details['password'])

where,

def fill_field(type, type_path, input):
    if type == 'id':
        field = browser.find_element_by_id(type_path)        
    field.clear()
    field.send_keys(input)

Issue

The above code used to work, but since the site has received a makeover it yields a ElementNotInteractableException: element not interactable when trying to fill the fields.

I've tried Xpaths, CSS selectors and whatnot, but the email address and password aren't filled out.

I can obtain texts on the page via Selenium.

There's something blocking Selenium at the input elements. Any ideas?

There're more than 1 email on the page and first one is not visible. You can get all elements and then filter for visible one:

field = list(filter(lambda x: x.is_displayed(), browser.find_elements(By.ID, "email")))[0]
field.send_keys("email")

To send a character sequence to the E-mail and Hasło field you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use the following Locator Strategy:

Using XPATH:

driver.get("https://activeshop.com.pl/customer/account/login/")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[text()='E-mail']//following::input[@class='input-text' and @id='email']"))).send_keys("my@email.com")
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[text()='Hasło']//following::input[@class='input-text' and @title='Hasło']").send_keys("mypassword")

Note : You have to add the following imports :

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
