Mouse Operations in Selenium WebDriver using Actions class

To Enable Drag and Drop:

• Chrome Browser go to the Url: chrome://flags/
• Firefox Browser go to the Url: about:config

The mouse down sets the color of the text to red. The mouse up sets the color of the text to green.

Scrolling examle: Whenever you scroll your mouse then the color of the text is changed to blue.

Drag and Drop

Drag the image back and forth between the two div elements.

Example 1: Mouse Functionality program

package com.automation.tests;

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterTest;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class MouseOperations {
    WebDriver driver;

    @Test
    public void mouseOperations() throws InterruptedException {
        driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        driver.get("http://anish-selenium.blogspot.in/p/mouse-operations-in-selenium-webdriver.html");

        Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
        // Click a Button using WebElement
        WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("b1"));
        element.click();

        Thread.sleep(5000);

        // Click using Actions class object
        actions.click(element).perform();

        Thread.sleep(5000);
        // for double click is possible only using Actions class
        element = driver.findElement(By.id("b2"));
        actions.doubleClick(element).perform();

        Thread.sleep(5000);
        // Click and Hold operations
        element = driver.findElement(By.id("p1"));
        actions.clickAndHold(element).perform();

        Thread.sleep(4000);

        actions.release(element).perform();

        Thread.sleep(5000);
        // Move your mouse to an WebElement
        element = driver.findElement(By.id("img1"));
        actions.moveToElement(element).build().perform();

        Thread.sleep(5000);

        // Right click on an Element
        element = driver.findElement(By.id("b2"));
        actions.contextClick(element).perform();

    }

    @AfterTest
    public void afterTest() throws InterruptedException {
        Thread.sleep(10000);
        driver.close();
    }
}

        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

        // maximize browser
        driver.manage().window().maximize();

        // Open webpage
        driver.get("http://jqueryui.com/resources/demos/droppable/default.html");

        // Add 5 seconds wait
        Thread.sleep(5000);

        // Create object of actions class
        Actions act = new Actions(driver);

        // find element which we need to drag
        WebElement drag = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='draggable']"));

        // find element which we need to drop
        WebElement drop = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='droppable']"));

        // this will drag element to destination
        act.clickAndHold(drag).perform();
        act.release(drop).perform();
        //act.dragAndDrop(drag, drop).build().perform();
