I.click() fails on elements out of view

[ssimeonoff]

What are you trying to achieve?

I am trying to click an element that it out of view (scrolling is needed to see the element).
With 0.6.3 , it was working like that - it was scrolling automatically when needed.

What do you get instead?

unknown error: Element is not clickable at point (a,b)

Details

• CodeceptJS version: 1.0.3
• NodeJS Version: 6.11.0
• Operating System: Win10x64
• Protractor || WebDriverIO || Nightmare version (if related)
• Configuration file:

{
  "output": "./output",
  "helpers": {
    "WebDriverIO": {
      "url": "http://localhost",
      "browser": "chrome",
      "windowSize": "",
      "timeouts": {
        "script": 60000,
        "page load": 10000,
        "implicit": 50
      }
    },
    "User": {
      "require": "./user_helper.js"
    }
  },

  "bootstrap": false,
  "teardown": null,
  "hooks": [],
  "tests": "./*_test.js",

}

Do I have to scroll now every time to click an element out of view?

+1 - Im having the same problem here.

@Simeon-off Did you try the same on firefox?
My firefox is working correctly but the problem happens with chrome.

@Simeon-off Are you sure that issue is related with codecept, not with webdriver?

Can you please try to downgrade codeceptjs and check on previous version? Thanks

1. How can I downgrade codeceptjs?

2. I fail to start the tests in firefox
   A browser instance is not opened and the returned error is:

"before each" hook: codeceptjs.before for "progress" in 22075ms
Error: Connection refused: connect

In the json file above, I have changed only: "browser": "firefox"
selenium standalone server is v.3.4.0.
Geckdriver was installed with "npm install -g geckdriver" in:
%\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\geckodriver\geckodriver.exe
(also added as a Path System variable)
(geckodriver 0.19.1, Listening on 127.0.0.1:4444)

How can I downgrade codeceptjs?
Just run npm i codeceptjs@[your version]
I fail to start the tests in firefox
A browser instance is not opened and the returned error is:

I recommend to use selenium-standalone package to run selenium https://www.npmjs.com/package/selenium-standalone

Tested with latest version of codeceptjs. It works with firefox

Closing ticket due to inactivity. Before reopening please try using the latest version which is v1.1.5 (at the time of writing), and check if the issue still exists.
