How can I fix a button that is clicked but does not perform any actions?
So I'm currently working on a new project and I need to write some automated tests.
I came across a problem and I don't know how to fix it. If the button of my web page is clicked running selenium it doesn't perform any actions, but if I open the web page manualy and click on the button, everything works fine.
NOTE: I'm completely sure that the xpath is correct and the button is being clicked...
This is what happens running with selenium:
And this is what happens openning the web page manually and clicking on the button:

There's a chance that the button is receiving aclickevent but doesn't do anything with that event. As a workaround, can you try clicking withActions? Selenium actually doesn't use mouse-like clicks with the normalclick()method, and your site may need to have amouseDown-like event. Ask your developers to fix this to acceptclickevents if this is the case, it makes it much easier and less fragile.
