java - Unable to click on 'Add' button in GUI (Error: Other element would receive the click)

Question

I am trying to click on 'Add' button but I am getting the following error message:

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown 
error: Element <img src="theme/catalogSiemens/images/btn/btnBackCatalog.png"

My code is:

driver.findElement(By.linkText("CMT Desigo CC")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.linkText("Basis")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//img[@alt='In den Einkaufswagen 
legen']")).click();
    System.out.println("Item 1 added");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//img[@alt='Zurück']")).click();

HTML is:

<a onclick="      if (document.referrer && 
document.referrer.indexOf('cameleonUI') > -1){if 
(Prototype.BrowserFeatures.isAndroid) {history.back();} else {if 
(document.referrer.startsWith(document.baseURI)) 
{location.href=document.referrer; } else {/* do nothing, too risky 
*/}}}else{goBack('close.do?S_moduleContextId=cat');}; return false;
                     "
                    id="tile282_0"
                    actionName="BACK"
                        href="#"
                        target="_blank"
                    class=""  >  <img 
src="theme/catalogSiemens/images/btn/btnBackCatalog.png" alt="Zurück" 
title="Zurück" /> </a>

Any suggestions will be appreciated. Also let me know if more information is needed. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I think previous solution solved the problem but in order not to have this behavior again randomly you will have to increase the wait time a little bit and re run it more than one time to be sure that the wait time is enough as the page elements loading will not be the same each time you run your code

You can do so by increasing the 10 to be 15 or 20 seconds:

 WebDriverWait wait2 = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
    WebElement element2 = wait2.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//img[@alt='Zurück']")));
    element2.click();
