Selenium Chrome Driver: Javascript on click function. element not visible or nothing happens

So I'm working on a script at work that automates VMWare's Airwatch token generation for MDM. It was functioning, but they updated the server/Airwatch Console and this javascript onclick function broke it. I've already searched through various forums and posts and have no luck getting it to work.
If I have selenium find the element and .click() on it, I get the not visible/not interactable error.
Currently, I have:



addButton=driver.find_element_by_css_selector("a.add.profile.small")
webdriver.ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(addButton).perform().click(addButton)


And no errors occur but it doesn't do anything.



When manually moving the mouse over the button it changes to a hand instead of the pointer and the button background color changes.



Here's a snippet of the element properties:



        <a class="add profile small" onclick="F5_r2u();F5_Event_common(event);
try{return(eval(F5_Invoke_eval_event(null,F5_jsBody(function(){addTagRow(this);
}))))}finally{try{F5_Event_finally(event)}catch(e){}}">Add</a>

selector: #31 34364e7_Tag_Plural > a
xpath: //*[@id="134364e7_Tag_Plural"]/a


Any Advice?



Pretty sure I need to have Selenium hover over the button, then click on it, or execute the javascript. Not sure how to do that though.

          when you switch from tab User to Tags it need to wait until ADD button visible



          # click tab Tags
          tabTags = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('tab.tags.selector').click()
          # wait until visible
          addButton = WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'a.add.profile.small')))
          addButton.click()


          using ActionChains maybe like this



          tabTags = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('tab.tags.selector')
          addButton = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("a.add.profile.small")

          actions = webdriver.ActionChains(driver)
          actions.click(tabTags)
          actions.click(addButton)
          actions.perform()
