Question

I'm trying to click a button on top of the page.I'm using CSS selector and it works perfectly fine when I run it in my local eclipse.But when I try to run it on Jenkins server on my local machine it fails, saying element not clickable. When I saw the screenshot of failed test on Jenkins I see that the header is overlapping the button that I want to click. I have tried almost everything using XPath,CSS,move to element,move mouse. But still can't fix it, Someone please help.

It clearly says, the element we want to click is hidden by some other element div in this case, which would receive the click.

I think it is a problem with the UI and the header shouldn't hide the element, but you can try few things :

1. Maximize the window of the browser from webdriver to see if header still hides the element

   driver.manage().window().maximize() 
   

2. Use JavaScript to click element

   WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.<locator>);
   JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
   executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click()", element)`
