Could you explain what the NotInteractableException exception in Selenium is and in what situations it occurs?

The NotInteractableException in Selenium occurs when a test attempts to interact with an element on the page that is currently not available for interaction. This can be due to the element being hidden, not visible to the user, blocked by another element, or inactive (for example, disabled).

Examples of situations:

• Trying to click on an element that is hidden via CSS (display:none or visibility:hidden).
• Entering text into a field that is inactive or blocked.
• Attempting to interact with an element that has not yet loaded or is not displayed.

To avoid this error, ensure that the element is visible and accessible for interaction before performing actions, for example, by using explicit waits with conditions like elementToBeClickable or elementToBeVisible.
