Selenium-Debugging Error Element is not clickable at point X Y

Question

I am trying to scraping a website using Selenium Webdriver. I want to click on "Next Page" buttom, Below is gthr code I used:

 driver.find_element_by_class_name('pagination-r').click()

it works for many pages but not for all, I got this error

WebDriverException: Message: Element is not clickable at point (918, 13). Other element would receive the click: <div class="linkAuchan"></div>

I tried this

driver.implicitly_wait(10)

el = driver.find_element_by_class_name('pagination-r')

action = webdriver.common.action_chains.ActionChains(driver)

action.move_to_element_with_offset(el, 918, 13)

action.click()

action.perform()

but I got the same error

Answer 1

Another element is covering the element you are to click. You could use execute_script() to click on this.

element = driver.find_element_by_class_name('pagination-r')

driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)

How I can take input from user in arguments instead of indices in above example?

Can you be more clear on your question? It's a bit unclear what you are trying to ask.
