How to check a checkbox in Chrome using Selenium with python

Question

I'm trying to check a checkbox via selenium in Chrome using python3. This is the HTML code:

 <header class="list-header">
    <aside class="list-header-bulk-selection">
       <input type="checkbox" class="sc-cSHVUG iAwiCZ">
           ::after   

I'm trying to check the box by:

check_mark = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@class='sc-cSHVUG iAwiCZ']")
check_mark.click()

I am able to find the location, but unfortunately I get the following error message:

ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable
  (Session info: chrome=75.0.3770.142)

I think I have to access the ::after line, but I have no clue how I should do this.

Answer 1

Try following options to click on checkbox.

Option1:

location_once_scrolled_into_view

check_mark = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@class='sc-cSHVUG iAwiCZ']")
check_mark.location_once_scrolled_into_view
check_mark.click()

Option2:

WebDriverWait and element_to_be_clickable

check_mark =WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"//input[@class='sc-cSHVUG iAwiCZ']")))
check_mark.click()

Option3:

Java Scripts Executor

check_mark =WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"//input[@class='sc-cSHVUG iAwiCZ']")))
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", check_mark)

You need to import followings to execute above code.

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
