  • Another element on the page is covering the element you are trying to click. The stacktrace will tell you what element it is so you can work your way around it. Commented Jun 24, 2016 at 8:41
  • please edit your question and add code formatting to html element (dont know why but, SO dont show it in error message). Commented Jun 24, 2016 at 9:08
  • Did you tried running this test in real browser on the same rosolution? Commented Jun 24, 2016 at 9:09
  • Does screen resolution impact selenium? Are you using XPATHS? Commented Jun 24, 2016 at 9:58
  • Did you try maximizing the screen? definitely problem with your screen resolution, because it works in windows as you said. Commented Jun 24, 2016 at 11:05

This is the reason it is important to test on different browsers and on different platforms. Sometimes what works on one browser/os does not work on the same browser but a different platform.

I would update your setup so that you make a screenshot when you run into this type (and most other types) of error. In my experience this is the single best thing you can do to reduce the time spent to debug these issues.

In my setup I do the following:

  • Create a screenshot
  • Capture the coordinates from the Selenium error message
  • Use an image manipulation program to automatically create a red dot where the click happened

Usually I just have to take one look at such an image to see exactly what is happening.
