Random error on allocating element when Click Element

Robot Framework
1

Hi, I have an not 100% reproducible issue when try to Click Element

Some details: web page developed with Vue.js
I user element ID to allocate it.
Also I use Wait Until Element Is Visible and Wait Until Element Enabled etc.
Nothing helps to have 100% pass, sometimes it fails due to element click intercepted.
To avoid the error I also try to use
Set Selenium Speed (0.4s) and Set Selenium Implicit Wait (10s) - it helps a little but not 100%.

Could you please suggest a way to avoid ‘element click intercepted’ error?

pip list | grep selenium

Try SeleniumTestability plugin for SeleniumLibrary.

(consider uninstalling Selenium2Library)

The description SeleniumTestability sounds great.
I installed accordingly documentation, remove selenium2library.
pip list | grep selenium
robotframework-seleniumlibrary 5.1.3
robotframework-seleniumtestability 1.1.0
selenium 4.0.0

I found this thread https://groups.google.com/g/robotframework-users/c/T1peTfTftWM

@HelioGuilherme66
Is there is a way to add plugins=SeleniumTestability without installing PHANTOMJS?

5

Yes, just go to the source code of SeleniumTestability installed in your machine and remove that browser from the list.

Thanks.
I leave only chrome related lines and it start working.

/Users/abc/venvs/project-auto/lib/python3.9/site-packages/SeleniumTestability/plugin.py

BROWSERS = {
    "googlechrome": DesiredCapabilities.CHROME,
    "gc": DesiredCapabilities.CHROME,
    "chrome": DesiredCapabilities.CHROME,
    "headlesschrome": DesiredCapabilities.CHROME,
}

I steel have an errors with allocating elements

Comparing with run without plugin - there is a WARN in console but tests PASS (except one where element intercepted)

WARN is because js injections can’t find the browser in some cases?
