WebDriverException Element is not clickable in Selenium

Question

Here is the error message:

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: Element <div class="col-md-2 col-sm-2 hidden-xs days" id="lblday3">...</div> is not clickable at point (799, 308). Other element would receive the click: <div class="modal-body text-center">...</div>
  (Session info: chrome=69.0.3497.100)

Hi everyone, the above exception was thrown in my ThankYou page in my project. I've tried to change the wait time but it also doesn't work. Below is the method I used.

public void Clickthankyou() throws InterruptedException
    {
        if(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='id_appoint']/h2")).isDisplayed())
        {

        WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 6);  
        WebElement elem =wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(Dateselect));

        if(elem.isDisplayed())
        {
            elem.click();
        }

        Thread.sleep(2000);

        driver.findElement(Clickbook).click();
        }
        else
        {
            driver.navigate().back();
        }

It happens when the button is wrapped and sometimes cannot accept the click. You can bypass this by clicking on the wrapper Ex.: span, div ... etc. Or execute js click with driver javascript executor. — Infern0, Oct 15 '18 at 07:01
yes, but from my experience js click is the bulletproof solution for using multiple browsers and/or when some of the drivers ex: firefox/ie have issues with actions class. — Infern0, Oct 15 '18 at 07:11

The basic reason of this exception is due to ViewPort of Browser window which is seen by the user. You need to scroll to specific element then click on it.
Key thing is element is not visible so not eligible for clicking. ok use this code for do the fix using JavascriptExecutor ,

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver; 
js.executeAsyncScript('arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true)', driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='id_appoint']/h2")))
js.executeAsyncScript('window.scrollBy(0,-150)')

or you can also do same using Actions class.

new Actions(driver).moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='id_appoint']/h2"))).click().perform();
