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

This error message...
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>
...implies that the click on the desired element was intercepted by some other element.
Clicking an element
Ideally, while invoking click() on any element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the elementToBeClickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
cssSelector:new WebDriverWait(getWebDriver(), 10).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("label[formcontrolname=reportingDealPermission][ng-reflect-name=reportingDealPermission]"))).click();xpath:new WebDriverWait(getWebDriver(), 10).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//label[@formcontrolname='reportingDealPermission' and @ng-reflect-name='reportingDealPermission']"))).click();
