I'm having a problem using selenium with the headless chrome=115.0.5790.170, I have a table and a td with this a tag.
<a id="formSegundaViaFatura:dtListaSegundaViaFaturaDebitoPendente:0:j_idt64" href="#" class="ui-commandlink ui-widget" onclick="PrimeFaces.addSubmitParam('formSegundaViaFatura',{'formSegundaViaFatura:dtListaSegundaViaFaturaDebitoPendente:0:j_idt64':'formSegundaViaFatura:dtListaSegundaViaFaturaDebitoPendente:0:j_idt64'}).submit('formSegundaViaFatura');return false;">2 via</a>
This code will operate in a VM without graphic resources, only the terminal, that's why I need the headless. But when I Try to interact in specific with this element sending a click(), an error is launched.
Message: element not interactable (Session info: headless chrome=115.0.5790.170) Stack trace:
If someone knows how I can avoid this error and interact with this element I'll be really grateful, because it's the last piece to make this crawler work with headless mode.
Ok! Some news, when I check if the element is displayed element.is_displayed() using the headless flag, it shows the element is not displayed sending False but when the headless flag is not allowed it says True the element is displayed.
Problem solved. How I've found a way to fix this problem? So the problem was when the --headless flag is used, because in this case the element that I was trying to click doesn't seems to be visible. So, using chat GPT it sugests to execute the javascript function on the element and not to click on it.
element = driver.find_element(By.ID, id_element) driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)
some auxiliary flags that I use to configure my driver Options and helped to fix the problem:
driver_options.add_experimental_option("prefs", {
"download.default_directory": download_folder_path,
"download.prompt_for_download": False,
"download.directory_upgrade": True,
"safebrowsing.enabled": True
})
So, using the context on top, I got what I want.
