Element not interactable

[alexissahagun1]

Hi, I got an error after I setup the program with my info, I know that the error means that the element is not visible yet, but I can't find a solution to it.

DevTools listening on ws://127.0.0.1:1862/devtools/browser/2700e967-dbdf-4d49-9164-4dd5edb873bb Traceback (most recent call last): File "apply.py", line 168, in <module> aggregatedURLs = get_links.getURLs() File "C:\Users\AlexisSahagun\common-intern\get_links.py", line 137, in getURLs success = go_to_listings(driver) File "C:\Users\AlexisSahagun\common-intern\get_links.py", line 48, in go_to_listings location_field.clear() File "C:\Users\AlexisSahagun\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webelement.py", line 95, in clear self._execute(Command.CLEAR_ELEMENT) File "C:\Users\AlexisSahagun\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webelement.py", line 633, in _execute return self._parent.execute(command, params) File "C:\Users\AlexisSahagun\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 321, in execute self.error_handler.check_response(response) File "C:\Users\AlexisSahagun\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\errorhandler.py", line 242, in check_response raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace) selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable (Session info: chrome=84.0.4147.135)

Found a solution here and will ask for merge.
The driver can't find the element sc.location when the window is not maximized, depending on your screen resolution. If you take a look at the page, the location input field is missing. So, I propose to start window maximized to avoid this error.
Add the following code before driver initialization:

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--start-maximized")

on Windows or --kiosk on Linux
and then replace driver initialization with the following (don't forget to add the driver location if needed:
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)

Solution by @giosal worked for me !! i.e you can run getlinks file by maximising the window .
