selenium webdriver firefox javascript dynamic-content Python

I'm optimizing some code but I'm prototyping a solution and I'm integrating two systems and I'm working with an scenario where Selenium WebDriver is unable to click on buttons that are generated dynamically in my Node.js web application using jQuery... The buttons are created after an AJAX call, and I am using Firefox version 115. When I try to perform a click action, I get a `ElementNotInteractableException`. Here's the relevant snippet of my code: ```python from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC # Initialize the Firefox driver driver = webdriver.Firefox() # Navigate to the web app driver.get('http://localhost:3000') # Wait for the button to be present in the DOM try: button = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until( EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, 'dynamic-button')) ) # Attempt to click the button button.click() except Exception as e: print(e) finally: driver.quit() ``` I've confirmed that the button exists in the DOM before the click attempt by checking with `driver.page_source`. The page source shows the button correctly, but I’m still working with the `ElementNotInteractableException`. I've also tried adding a sleep before the click attempt, but it doesn’t seem to help. Additionally, I verified that no overlays or other elements are blocking the button. Is there a specific way I can ensure that the button is ready for interaction, or are there best practices for dealing with dynamically generated elements in Selenium with Firefox? For context: I'm using Python on Debian. Am I missing something obvious? This is for a desktop app running on CentOS.
