Button not clickable consistently in Selenium Java

I am trying to click a button in selenium java code and it is not clicking all the time. Apparently this is pretty common issue.
I tried below few solutions:
HTML Code :
<button class="btn btn--action btn--border-white btn--my__calculate" style="display: inline-block;">Final Figure</button>
Solution 1:
WebElement btnWorkout = webDriver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".btn--my__calculate"));
if (btnWorkout.isDisplayed() && btnWorkout.isEnabled()) {
btnWorkout.click();
}
Solution 2 :
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(webDriver, 10);
WebElement btnWorkout = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector(".btn--my__calculate")));
btnWorkout.click();
Solution 3:
WebElement btnWorkout = webDriver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".btn--my__calculate"));
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor) webDriver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", btnWorkout);
None of them worked for me.
Other strange thing is above step passes without an error and button doesn't click as expected

Induce WebDriverWait And Following Xapth.
Try following options.
Option1:
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(webDriver, 20);
WebElement btnWorkout=wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//button[#class='btn btn--action btn--border-white btn--my__calculate'][text()='Final Figure']")));
btnWorkout.click();
Option2: Use Action class
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(webDriver, 20);
WebElement btnWorkout=wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//button[#class='btn btn--action btn--border-white btn--my__calculate'][text()='Final Figure']")));
Actions action=new Actions(webDriver);
action.moveToElement(btnWorkout).click().build().perform();
Option3: Use JavaScript Executor
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(webDriver, 20);
WebElement btnWorkout=wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//button[#class='btn btn--action btn--border-white btn--my__calculate'][text()='Final Figure']")));
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor) webDriver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", btnWorkout);

Curious that the executeScript() option didn't work for you. Keep using your WebDriverWait from option 2, but instead of the click() method, try using Action Chains. I'm not sure how to write this in Java, but it'll be something like this:
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.move_to_element(btnWorkout).click(btnWorkout).perform();

Maybe you have another hidden element with same CSS (class). You can try capture the element by linkText or partialLinkText like this:
WebElement btnWorkout = webDriver.findElement(By.linkText("Final Figure"));

How to click on the button as per the HTML provided?

This is the html code for the button in the pop up ( pop up has a lead gen form) -
<button id="getCoupon" class="fetch" data-bind="click: submitForm" type="submit">Fetch Coupon</button>
This is the script which I have written in JAVA in Eclipse. I am able to fill the name, Email and Phone number but I'm not able to click on the button -
driver.findElement(By.id("getCoupon")).click();

As per the comment and URL, you have shared :
You can try with this code :
public class Pawan {
static WebDriver driver ;
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\user**\\Downloads\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get("http://vets.cm.qa.preview.vca.webstagesite.com/free-first-exam");
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("input[value='/santa-monica']~div.select-btn"))).click();
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("fName"))).sendKeys("Pawan");
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("lName"))).sendKeys("Sharma");
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("email"))).sendKeys("ps12#gmail.com");
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("zip"))).sendKeys("90404");
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("phone"))).sendKeys("9697989900");
JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
jse.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,100)", "");
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("getCoupon"))).click();
}
}

As per your HTML code, your id is : "getCoupon",
whereas in code you mentioned id as : "getCouponFetch". Please correct and it should work. Code -
driver.findElement(By.id("getCoupon")).click();
If selenium click don't work, use below Java Script click code :
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("getCoupon")); JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver; executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);

Firstly, what kind of error did you get??
Try using implicit wait if your getting "NoSuchElementException" like below:
driver.manage().timeOuts().implicitlywait(30,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
Then try using the below way to locate that button:
driver.findElementByXpath("text()[contains(.,'Fetch Coupon')]").click();

As per the HTML you have shared to click() on the button you have to induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable and you can use either of the following solutions:
cssSelector:
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("button.fetch#getCoupon"))).click();
xpath:
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//button[#class='fetch' and #id='getCoupon'][contains(.,'Fetch Coupon')]"))).click();
Update
As an alternative you can use the executeScript() method to invoke the click() as follows:
Using cssSelector:
WebElement fetch_coupon = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("button.fetch#getCoupon")));
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();", fetch_coupon);
Using xpath:
WebElement fetch_coupon = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//button[#class='fetch' and #id='getCoupon'][contains(.,'Fetch Coupon')]")));
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();", fetch_coupon);

Webdriver fails to click element after a WebDriverWait

First, I was facing an issue that selenium webdriver was not always finding the element and clicking, and I found that WebDriverWait should solve the problem. So, I used this code, for instance:
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("html/body/div[1]/aside/div/nav/ul/li[3]/a"))).click();
But now I am having a timeout issue, Observing the test to run, I can see that the element is being hover(because it changes the color), but webdriver is not clicking.
Does anyone have tips on how to solve this?

I would recommend refactoring like this, to separate the wait from the click event. Otherwise, its hard to diagnose the cause of your click failure:
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
By locator = By.xpath(".//ul/li[3]/a");
WebElement we = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(locator))
.ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class);
try {
we.click();
} catch (WebDriverException wde)
{
LOGGER.info("Click failed.", wde);
}

Put the wait and then try JavascriptExecutor to click on your element
WebElement element= driver.findElement(YOUR Locator);
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);
Hope it will help you :)

clicking next button on reddit with selenium not doing anything

private void next() {
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By
.xpath("//span[contains(.,'next')]"));
element.click();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
System.out.println(driver.getCurrentUrl());
is this code correct, all that happens when next is clicked is the focus scrolls down the page to the button

Your xpath selector is wrong.
Change it to:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By
.xpath("//a[contains(text(),'next')]"));
or even better (in case one of the topic links contains the text "next") use:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By
.xpath("//span[#class='nextprev']/a[contains(text(), 'next')]"));
This will ensure that the a element that is picked up is within the correct span at the bottom of the page and make your test less brittle.

The xpath = //span[contains(.,'next')] used in your code, locates span with contents view more : next › ,but you need to click only on next ›.i.e., you need to click on the anchor tag which contains next ›.
The below code will solve the issue.
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By
.linkText("next ›"));
element.click();
System.out.println(driver.getCurrentUrl());

It is always better to avoid xpath and use other locators like linkText or partialLinkText in this case.

How to scroll down using Selenium WebDriver with Java

I want to scroll down my web page and i m using this code to scroll page but it is not working
public ViewBasketSentToMePageObject viewSlideShare() throws InterruptedException {
Thread.sleep(500l);
Actions action1 =new Actions(getDriver());
action1.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).sendKeys(String.valueOf('\u0030')).build().perform();
List<WebElement> function = getDriver().findElements(By.xpath("//a [#ng-click='onItemClick()']"));
function.get(13).findElement(By.xpath("//img [#ng-src='resources/images/slideshare-icon-small.png']")).click();
return getFactory().create(ViewBasketSentToMePageObject.class);
}
Looking for help

Try using simple java script below and you can scroll the page.
JavascriptExecutor jsx = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
jsx.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,450)", "");

For scroll down:
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
jse.executeScript("scroll(0, 250);");
or, you can do as follows:
jse.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,250)", "");

Scroll until find the WebElement
Try this:
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", your_WebElement);

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input [#id='giveid']"));
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", element);
Use this. This will help you to scroll down at the particular element. I had tested on my website even. It is working fine.
