I'm trying to use chimpjs with cucumber and selenium to automate login, but we currently do login through a modal. And currently all attempts to click on the login button on that modal result in the same error:
Error: unknown error: Element is not clickable at point (764, 42). Other element would receive the click: <div class="login-overlay " style="display: block; opacity: 0.969096;">...</div>
These are the steps I am taking for selenium. I'm waiting for the modal to show up before entering the username or password, but when I try to click the login button, it fails on me.
module.exports = function() {
this.Given(/^I am on the website homepage$/, function () {
client.url('example.com');
});
this.When(/^I click the login button$/, function () {
client.click('.navbar__link--login');
});
this.Then(/^I see the login screen$/, function () {
client.waitForExist('.login-overlay');
});
this.Then(/^I enter my username in the email field$/, function () {
client.setValue('#username', 'myemail@email.com');
});
this.Then(/^I enter my password in the password field$/, function () {
client.setValue('#password', 'myemail@email.com');
});
this.Then(/^And I click the login button$/, function () {
client.click('.login-btn');
});
};Currently everything passes except for the last step. Is it because we're using a modal for login? Or is there a way to click on buttons on modals in selenium? Or am I missing a really obvious step?
Solution: I found a solution to this, I was unable to click on the element, however I was able to do a form submission through the client.submitForm(selector) option. Doing this seemed to fix the problem, and I was able to pass the final step. I also changed the final step to say 'And I submit the login form' for readability. You can see more on the form submit option here: http://webdriver.io/api/action/submitForm.html
