'org.openqa.selenium.ElementClickInterceptedException: element click intercepted error using Selenium and Java in headless mode

I have a project that I am working on with java and selenium. the test work OK in UI mode. However in headless mode I get this error

org.openqa.selenium.ElementClickInterceptedException: element click intercepted: Element <label _ngcontent-yrc-c26="" formcontrolname="reportingDealPermission" nz-checkbox="" class="ant-checkbox-wrapper ng-untouched ng-pristine ng-valid" ng-reflect-name="reportingDealPermission">...</label> is not clickable at point (161, 562). Other element would receive the click: <div _ngcontent-yrc-c26="" class="footer">...</div>

how can I resolve this issue (working in UI mode). this is my code

WebDriver driver = getWebDriver();
        WebElement element;
        Thread.sleep(60000);
        element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//label[@formcontrolname='reportingDealPermission']"));
        element.click();

why in selenium there is no operation to move to the element and break all layers. this is the UI. this is working in UI mode not working in headless mode, made sleep for 6 minutes and not resolved so this is not time issue

Solution 1:[1]

Try adding an explicit wait

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//label[@formcontrolname='reportingDealPermission']"))).click();

and if this doesn't work then try using the JS Executor

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//label[@formcontrolname='reportingDealPermission']"))); 
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);

None of the above answers worked for me. Try using action class as follows:

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='footer']"));
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(element).click().build().perform();

For this issue:

org.openqa.selenium.ElementClickInterceptedException: element click intercepted: Element <label _ngcontent-yrc-c26="" formcontrolname="reportingDealPermission" nz-checkbox="" class="ant-checkbox-wrapper ng-untouched ng-pristine ng-valid" ng-reflect-name="reportingDealPermission">...</label> is not clickable at point (161, 562).

Another element receives the click:

Answer is to explicitly wait with javascript executor. This combination is working for me:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//label[@formcontrolname='reportingDealPermission']"))); 
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);

Solution 4:[4]

In my case "JavaScript" works:

WebElement ele = driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//input[@name='btnK'])[2]"));
JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
jse.executeScript("arguments[0].click()", ele);
