Element is not interactable through selenium automation

Question

I want to select the "Round Trip" radio button after clicking the "Both" button. However, the website has right-click disabled, and I am receiving an error on SelectorHub stating, "This element is not interactable through Selenium (automation) as it is not visible in the UI." I have tried various wait methods, but I am still unsuccessful. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception 
    {
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(Duration.ofSeconds(10));
        driver.get("https://dummy-tickets.com/buyticket");
        driver.manage().window().maximize();

        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[normalize-space()='Both']")).click();
        Thread.sleep(5000);
        //driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@value='roundtripmain']")).click();
        
        WebDriverWait wait= new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10)); 
        WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//input[@value='onewaymain']")));
        element.click();
        
        //*[@id="twotabtabone"]/div/div/div/div/div[1]/label[2]/input
                
        
  }

Try the following.


import java.time.Duration;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;


public class JavaTest
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try 
        {
            WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
            
            driver.get("https://dummy-tickets.com/buyticket");
            driver.manage().window().maximize();
            driver.getTitle();
            Thread.sleep(1000);
            driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[normalize-space()='Both']")).click();
            Thread.sleep(2000);
            new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(4)).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//input[@value='roundtripfh']"))).click();
            Thread.sleep(2000);
            new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(4)).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//a[normalize-space()='Flight']"))).click();
            Thread.sleep(2000);               
            new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(4)).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//input[@value='roundtripmain']"))).click();
            //driver.quit();
        }
        catch (InterruptedException ex) 
        {
            Logger.getLogger(JavaTest.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }
    }
}

Thank you so much. It worked. Could you tell me how you get the value "roundtripfh" for the selector? I couldn't find this value.

When I just changed "Both" to "Flight", I still get the exception " org.openqa.selenium.TimeoutException: Expected condition failed: waiting for element to be clickable:"

Open the URL in Chrome and go to developer mode. Some of the attributes have the same name, so you are probably running into conflicts.

I updated the code. I also put pauses so that you can see things happen. Selenium does not recommend using implicit and explicit waits in the same code. See selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/waits
