[FIXED] Error: element not interactable while using Selenium when sending keys to a textbox

Issue

I am using Selenium to try to login to a website but when I try to send the keys, I am getting the following error: selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable. The website is: website. I hope anyone can help me.

My code is:

buttom = browser.find_element_by_class_name("loginInputs").find_element_by_class_name("passwordInput")
buttom.send_keys("password")

Solution

It doesn't work because the element with the class name passwordInput is a <div>. What you want is the <input> element, so use:

password = browser.find_element_by_class_name("loginInputs").find_element_by_class_name("passwordInput").find_element_by_css_selector("input")
password.send_keys("password")
