[FIXED] how to simulate the hover of cursor python selenium

Issue

I want to click on button on web site, but this button appears after you put your cursor on the right place, otherwise you can not see this button. I tried to ignore that and do just normal click by finding the element by xpath. But that did not work out, there was mistake:

selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable: element has zero size

How to deal with that?

Solution

To hover over the element you can use something like this:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains

chrome= webdriver.Chrome()
chrome.get('http://foo.bar')
element = chrome.find_element_by_css_selector("the_element_u_want")

hover = ActionChains(chrome).move_to_element(element)
hover.perform()

if the element takes time to appear use selenium's wait or time.sleep()
