Description
Trying to figure out why my script is unable to click on a button even though it is clearly visible and within screen view. This is the only exception I am getting:
element not interactable
(Session info: chrome=98.0.4758.102)
(Driver info: chromedriver=98.0.4758.102 (273bf7ac8c909cde36982d27f66f3c70846a3718-refs/branch-heads/4758@{#1151}),platform=Windows NT 10.0.19043 x86_64) (WebDriver\Exception\ElementNotVisible)
Here's the code that verifies the element and its visibility
public function getElement($selector, $type = 'xpath', $autodetect = true, $logMessage = true)
{
if ($autodetect) {
$selectorData = $this->detectSelectorType($selector, $type);
$type = $selectorData[0];
$selector = $selectorData[1];
}
$element = $this->getSession()->getPage()->find($type, $selector);
$this->log("Selector: ".$selector);
if (empty($element)) {
$this->lastElement = false;
$errorMsg = "No html element found for {$type} selector: {$selector}";
if ($logMessage) $this->debug($errorMsg);
throw new Exception($errorMsg);
} else if ($logMessage) {
$this->debug("Found element for {$type} selector: {$selector}");
}
$this->lastElement = $element;
$this->log("Element read for clicking");
return $element;
}
Here's the call to click
$this->getElement($selector, $selectorType)->click();
I'm running on chrome 98.0.4758.102, selenium 3.141 and the following behat/mink versions
"behat/mink": "v1.7.1",
"behat/mink-goutte-driver": "v1.2.1",
"behat/mink-selenium2-driver": "*",
"behat/behat": "v3.5.0",
"behat/mink-extension": "v2.2",
I've already tried various implicit and explicit waits / scrolls but still no go

Research direction
The report names only the getElement method and its subsequent click call, with no repository file or test to inspect. Start by reproducing the interaction using the listed Chrome, Selenium, Behat, and Mink versions; done would require an agreed reproducible cause and a specific code or test change, neither of which the issue currently defines.
