Java Selenium Webdriver: Element not clickable

Question

I tried verifying an element present onpage using isDisplayed() it returns true. Tried Actions class and JavascriptExecutor but no luck

Able to find an element but it is not clickable.

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: Element is not clickable at point (48, 339). Other element would receive the click: <div modal-render="true" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" class="modal fade ng-isolate-scope ng-animate ng-leave ng-leave-active" uib-modal-animation-class="fade" modal-in-class="in" ng-style="{'z-index': 1050 + index*10, display: 'block'}" uib-modal-window="modal-window" size="md" index="0" animate="animate" modal-animation="true" data-ng-animate="2" style="z-index: 1050; display: block;">...</div>

There's a DIV modal in the way of the click. It's explained in the error message. Dismiss it or otherwise handle it.

DIV modal is handled

I even tried to getURL of the page to make sure the handle is pointng to right page. I tried explicit wait also.

Try to use ExpectedConditions from WebDriverWait class to check the Clickable property of the element.

Many a time I have seen that element.isDisplayed/isEnabled didn't work, but this worked fine.

Eg Code:

Webdriver driver;
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 15);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.className("xyz"))).click();

The element is there and an attempt to click it was made. The problem, according to the error message, was that another element was in the way.

Yeah, you might absolutely be correct. My intention was to suggest another way to check if an element is clickable. As selenium driver does not give you that functionality, by using WebdriverWait we can make sure that element is present and clickable.
