Message: invalid element state: Element is not currently interactable and may not be manipulated about kleinanzeigen-bot

Maybe you find some useful instructions regarding vscode setup here https://pdm.fming.dev/#use-with-ide

I have not encountered this myself. Maybe it is an issue with specific versions of the chrome driver.

Also I found this SeleniumHQ/selenium-google-code-issue-archive#7723 and SeleniumHQ/selenium#8877 but in the comments I cannot see anything that is actionable.

Hello, I took a quick look. It has nothing to do with the pictures. In any case, there would be a log message about this beforehand. For me it's the input fields for city and street. These are deactivated and pre-assigned with the last values. This does not validate the script and fails. Should be relatively easy to fix.

        #############################
        # set contact street
        #############################
        if ad_cfg["contact"]["street"]:
            self.web_input(By.ID, "pstad-street", ad_cfg["contact"]["street"])

Same issue here:
[ERROR] InvalidElementStateException: Message: invalid element state: Element is not currently interactable and may not be manipulated
(Session info: chrome=101.0.4951.64)

This fixes the issue for me, I can prepare a pull request, but need to make myself familiar first on how I can contribute…

#############################
        # set contact zipcode
        #############################
        if ad_cfg["contact"]["zipcode"] and self.webdriver.find_element(By.ID, "pstad-zip" ).is_enabled():
            self.web_input(By.ID, "pstad-zip", ad_cfg["contact"]["zipcode"])

        #############################
        # set contact street
        #############################
        if ad_cfg["contact"]["street"] and self.webdriver.find_element(By.ID, "pstad-street").is_enabled():
            self.web_input(By.ID, "pstad-street", ad_cfg["contact"]["street"])

Edit: created a pull request, run the local tests, should work fine @sebthom but this is my first line of python so let me know if I need to improve something, left out the zipcode check as it is not really necessary. Though I think a check for availability and status of a field is never a bad thing.

@DenisLanz I merged your PR, so the error goes away for now, however what we actually should do is enable the newly introduced checkbox Vollständige Adresse anzeigen which will make the street field writeable again.

Fair point, maybe I give it a try this weekend.

Added and testet the address visibility checkmark and extended the settings accordingly.

Fixed by #79. Thanks to @DenisLanz
