element not clickable from dropmenu

Question

using selenium, i try de choose a specific value in a drop menu, but i have always an error

%reset -sf

site = 'https://www.mytek.tn/informatique/ordinateurs-portables/pc-portable.html'


driver.get(site)
sleep(1)

page_cat = requests.get(site)

tree_cat = html.fromstring(driver.page_source)

btn_all = tree_cat.xpath(".//option[@value='all']")
if len(btn_all) == 0:
    print("btn all dont exist")
else:
    print('choice all exist')

dropdown = Select(driver.find_element_by_id('limiter'))

dropdown.select_by_visible_text('Tous')

#dropdown.select_by_value('all')  # same error : ElementNotInteractableException

i've tried de see if selenium can read all the element in the drop menu : yes

   print("All selected options using ActionChains : 
")
    for opt in dropdown.options:
        print(opt.get_attribute('innerText'))
    time.sleep(5)

always same error

ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable: Element is not currently visible and may not be manipulated

I'm going crazy

my imports:

The drop down menu you trying to access appearing on the bottom of the page, not inside the initially visible screen.
To access it with Selenium you need first to scroll to that element.
Also, there are 2 selects there with similar locators while you need the second of them, so you should use corrected locator

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains

actions = ActionChains(driver)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)

dropdown = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "(//select[@id='limiter'])[last()]")))
time.sleep(1)
actions.move_to_element(dropdown).perform()
time.sleep(0.5)
dropdown = Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//select[@id='limiter'])[last()]"))
dropdown.select_by_visible_text('Tous')

I hope this will work for you.
