Unknown "non-finite double value" Javascript error being thrown - selenium-chromedriver

I ran into the following error while doing actions.moveToElement(ele).click().build().perform() :
javascript error: Failed to execute 'elementsFromPoint' on 'Document': The provided double value is non-finite.
Some searches showed people in Chrome Mobile or other products receiving that, but I am just using the regular ChromeDriver (78) version with Java. They said it is fixed in a product I am not using.
Has anyone had this in the regular Chrome Driver?

I found that the cause of me seeing this error was that the element I was trying to click was a <title> meta data element. My original code picked an element to click using the visible text on the page:
var element = driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[contains(text(), '" + text + "')]"));
new Actions(this.Driver)
.MoveToElement(element, 1, 1)
.Click()
.Perform();
However, this text also existed in the title of the browser so the returned element was actually a <title> metadata element. I haven't created this element, only set document.title so somewhat surprised to see it all. I don't think this was past behaviour or was it...?
My fix was to exclude title elements in my xpath query:
var element = driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[not(self::title) and contains(text(), '" + text + "')]"))
Note that with the firefox driver, this error surfaces as rect is undefined.

unable to find multiple existing element with selenium

here is the html code of the Links i am trying to click on (i dont know why selenium cant locate the link. My guess is, that there are X amounts of the link. The only difference is the string in the brackets of onclick.) Underneath i'll show you 2 examples of the html code. I'd like to click on all of them (in this case on both)!
Button or Link:
<td class="text-right">
Ansehen</td>
Button or Link:
<td class="text-right">
Ansehen</td>
here are my Attempts to click on the button:
driver.find_element_by_link_text("doRetrievePnr('DUA75J')").click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[#onclick='doRetrievePnr('DUA75J')']").click()
Here are the Errors i get:
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"link text","selector":"doRetrievePnr('DUA75J')"}
selenium.common.exceptions.InvalidSelectorException: Message: invalid selector: Unable to locate an element with the xpath expression //a[#onclick='doRetrievePnr('DUA75J')'] because of the following error: SyntaxError: Failed to execute 'evaluate' on 'Document': The string '//a[#onclick='doRetrievePnr('DUA75J')']' is not a valid XPath expression.
am I missing out on something?
EDIT
Heres a picture of the BUTTONS, the HTML CODE and my PYTHON CODE (lines 34 & 35)
As mentioned in the comments - getting all the items of a specific identifier can be done with find_elements_by_... (note find elements - it's plural)
That returns an array you can iterate through to interact with each element.
It looks like all your links have the same ID.
Something like this might work:
links = driver.find_elements_by_id('viewPnr')
for link in links:
link.click()
time.sleep(10) #replace this with what you want to do
Obviously if you're clicking links and the page changes this might not work after the first iteration. However, this is the concept on how you can get all objects and iterate through them.

selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable

I'm programming for fun so I wanted to learn about selenium webdriver using twitter but I have a problem.
The problem comes when I try to put my text in the box of the tweet:
So I have to kind of activate the element that's on the box and that went good:
TBot = webdriver.Chrome()
twitter_box_act = Tbot.find_element_by_xpath('//div[#class="public-DraftEditorPlaceholder-inner"]')
Tbot.execute_script("arguments[0].click(), twitter_box_act)
But once i try to put some text on the box this error appears:
selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable
The code that I've used to try to put text on the box is the next:
tweet_entry = self.bot.find_element_by_xpath('//span[#data-text="true"]')
tweet_entry.send_keys("some text here")
So what I've tried is looking more deep in the code with F12 this is what I got:
I tried to put some time.sleep(x) between every step that didn't solve it.
I tried editing first the br tag and after that editing the span tag but I still had the same message error
I've been looking on the internet with Twitter projects with selenium as well but since they change the UI is not the same HTML body.
Am I missing something?
PS: I skipped the login part since that has nothing to do with the problem
You have tried change this line:
-->Tbot.execute_script("arguments[0].click(), twitter_box_act)
The error is for interactable, and you has interable in arguments.

Java Selenium findelement is not acknowledging an element that is on the page

If I use developer tools in Chrome, and paste my By.name statement, the page highlights exactly what I'm trying to view.
Here are two java statements sitting right next to each other:
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[#name='firstName']")).clear();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[#name='shippingCost']")).click();
I put these two next to each other to rule out that the driver was broken somehow at the point in the code that these come from. The first statement does clear the text box referenced, but the second is returning NoSuchElementError. I have also tried using By.name as mentioned above, I'm just chasing down why the second throws an error every time.
The page I'm working with is an EXTJS single page website, so the control is always there. I want to use the .getText().length() to validate that there is now text in this box.
Any help on why I'm unable to click, or even just reference this control, on a page where I'm able to use my xpath or name selectors to see the control on the page.
---Edit to add these pics of the code relevent to the above xpaths
Sorry, this is another place that doesnt work, [name='shippingTypeGroundDate']
This is the shippingcost location
And this is the working firstName location
Check whether if there is any duplicate elements in the chosen selector. According to your description name field is working as expected and you are facing issues with the shipping cost field. it is possible that there are duplicate elements in inactive status on the same page with the chosen selector.
you can get number of elements present using below java code :
List<WebElement> listOfElements =driver.findElements(By.xpath("//input[#name='shippingCost']"));
System.out.println("Number of elements:" +listOfElements.size());
if above solutions not working, try with javascriptexecutor , it will perform these actions even if this element is underneath another element.
Add explicit wait for the input textbox to be loaded. Then try to click the textbox with Javascript executor. Sometimes webdriver click may not work.
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[#name='shippingCost']"));
try {
if (element.isEnabled() && element.isDisplayed()) {
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);
} else {
System.out.println("Unable to click on element");
}
} catch (StaleElementReferenceException e) {
System.out.println("Element is not attached to the page document "+ e.getStackTrace());
} catch (NoSuchElementException e) {
System.out.println("Element was not found in DOM "+ e.getStackTrace());
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Unable to click on element "+ e.getStackTrace());
}

Ionic3 - ElementRef nativeElement.getElementsByClassName returns collection but it is inaccessible

I'm following this tutorial about Ionic and directives and everything works fine except when I try to get the FAB element using ElementRef's nativeElement.getElementsByClassName, like this:
this.fab = this.element.nativeElement.getElementsByClassName('fab')[0]
That returns undefined. The problem is when I remove the index and print the whole HTMLCollection using console.log, it shows me a complete list with all the FAB's inside the element.
Running
console.log(this.element.nativeElement.getElementsByClassName('fab'),
this.element.nativeElement.getElementsByClassName('fab')[0]);
on ngOnInit gives the following result:
What am I doing wrong here? Every part of the code related to the problem is equal to the tutorial and it's a quite recent video...
I think the reason here is that those elements are not present while you asking for them with that line:
console.log(this.element.nativeElement.getElementsByClassName('fab'),
this.element.nativeElement.getElementsByClassName('fab')[0]);
There is simple example which shows where problem can be:
console.log(document.getElementsByClassName('fab'), document.getElementsByClassName('fab')[0]);
const el1 = document.createElement('div');
el1.setAttribute('class', 'fab');
const el2 = document.createElement('div');
el2.setAttribute('class', 'fab');
setTimeout(() => {
this.abc.nativeElement.appendChild(el1);
this.abc.nativeElement.appendChild(el2);
}, 2000);
Elements are added after 2 seconds and console log is same like yours, but when you click on HTMLCollection it will evaluate and shows you those elements - of course if you click after 2 seconds(when elements are present).
If those element are really present when you asking for them console log should look more like:
HTMLCollection(2) [div.fab, div.fab]
Also, note that this little i in Google Chrome console inform you that value is evaluted just now - at the moment when you click on it.

using innerHTML at custom tag in IE

I have a problem I just can't solve, and need your advice since I'm out of ideas:
Context: I'm using tinyMCE Editor on my website and developed a custom plugin to include external xml files. So far everything works as expected. The links to the external xml files are represented as span-Tags:
<span id="-[XML Document 1]-" title="erg" class="xml_embed xml_include">-[XML Document 1]-</span>
but only in the tinyMCE editor with a custom class (xml_include) to distinguish them from normal text and upon switching to the html/source code view or saving, those span tags get replaced to xi:include elements:
<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/TR/XInclude" show="xml_embed" href="erg">-[XML Document 1]-</xi:include>
The text that was set as innerHTML ("-XML Document 1]-") for the span tag(s) serves as placeholder in the editor and gets moved to the xi:include tag(s) in the source view and serves as placeholder there also.
Now to the problem:
The code to transform span.xml_include to xi:include gets called before the source code popup is displayed:
ed.onPreProcess.add(function(ed, o) {
var elm;
var domelm;
//get all span.xml_include elements
tinymce.each(ed.dom.select('span.xml_include', o.node), function(n) {
//IE ignores innerHTML when created with tinymce.dom, therefore use native JS createElement method to tell IE that custom tag is valid HTML
if(tinymce.isIE)
{
domelm = document.createElement('xi:include');
domelm.setAttribute("xmlns:xi", "http://www.w3.org/TR/XInclude");
domelm.href = n.title;
domelm.innerHTML = n.innerHTML;
domelm.show = n.className.split(/\s+/)[0];
document.body.appendChild(domelm);
ed.dom.replace(domelm, n);
}
else
{
//ed = tinyMCE.activeEditor
elm = ed.dom.create('xi:include', {href: n.title, show: n.className.split(/\s+/)[0]}, n.innerHTML);
elm.setAttribute("xmlns:xi", "http://www.w3.org/TR/XInclude");
ed.dom.replace(elm, n);
}
});
});
this code works perfectly fine in FF and Chrome, but not in IE (I tested 7 & 8): in IE the innerHTML of the new element "domelm" can't be set. Either it stays blank or if set explicitly an error is thrown. n.innerHTML can be accessed. I get an "Unknown runtime error" for the line domelm.innerHTML = n.innerHTML;
What else did I try?
the native JS way: domelm.appendChild(document.createTextNode(n.innerHTML)); to create a text node and append it to the "domelm" with no success (getting error: "unexpected call to method or property access", that should be the translation from "Unerwarteter Aufruf oder Zugriff" (german version))
the tinyMCE API way: tinymce.DOM.setHTML(domelm, n.innerHTML); resulted in no error but also the usual blank innerHTML
the jQuery way: $('#domelm').html(n.innerHTML); or first var jQelm = $(domelm); then jQelm.text(...); or jQelm.html(...); doesn't matter, neither works, IE always returns "unexpected call to method" error in the jquery core, which I obviously won't touch..
the tinyMCE way of creating elements as seen in the "else" part of the if condition above..if domelm.innerHTML = n.innerHTML; isn't explicitly set, elm.innerHTML just stays blank, else the same errors as on the approaches above occur, therefore I could as well skip the if(tinymce.isIE) detection..
What else can I do? Suggestions?
I also made sure to properly declare the custom xml namespaces, changed the MIME-type to application/xhtml+xml instead of simply text/html, "announced" the xi:include node for IE with document.createElement('xi:include'); and generally changed the code to please IE..and this seems to be the last major bug I have to overcome..
I'm not sure if it's an error in my code since FF and Chrome work fine local and remote and don't show any errors..?
Any help is appreciated, I hope I provided enough context for you so that it's clear what I meant. and sorry for mistakes, English is not my first language :)
Ok, wrapping the custom element in a p/div/span tag finally did the trick: I used span to leave the formatting unmodified..here is what I did:
In the "if(tinymce.isIE) part of the onPreProcess function, before "xi:include" is created, a wrapper is needed:
var wrapper = document.createElement('span');
Appending the custom tag-element to the wrapper:
wrapper.appendChild(domelm);
and appending a textNode to the wrapper since appending it to the domelm throws errors:
wrapper.appendChild(document.createTextNode(n.innerHTML));
and finally append the wrapper to the dom and replace the "span" tag (n) with the wrapped "xi:include" (wrapper, span tag to be modified):
document.body.appendChild(wrapper);
ed.dom.replace(wrapper, n);`
The result is a custom "xi:include" tag in IE with the correct innerHTML:
<span><xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/TR/XInclude" href="eh" show="xml_embed">-[XML Document]-</xi:include></span>
