Handling Mouse Actions/Mouse Over using Selenium with Java

 Mouse Over:

    When we want to use Mouse or Keyboard actions we should create an "Actions" class object.

        Syntax: Actions object = new Actions(browser_object);

        Example: Actions act = new Actions(driver);

Method for Actions Class:

    build():- Build method in the Actions class is used to create a chain of actions or operations you want to perform.

    perform():- Perform Method in Action class is used to Execute a chain of actions that are built using the Action build method.

moveToElement(): This method is used to Move the Mouse point to a Particular Web Element.

Syntax: 

    Actions action_obj = new Actions(driver);

    WebElement ele = driver.findElement(By.id("123"));

    actions_obj.moveToElement("ele");

Example: 

class MousePnt

{

    public static void main(String args[])

    {

        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver" , "./chromedriver.exe");

        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

        driver.get("https://www.google.com");

        

        // Create object instance for actions class

        Actions act = new Actions(driver);

        WebElement searchBox = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));

        act.moveElement(searchBox).perform();

        //act.moveElement(searchBox).click().perform();

    }

}

doubleClick(): This method is used to double-click on a particular web element.

    Syntax: actions_obj.doubleClick(WebElement).perform();

Example:

class DoubleClick

{

    public static void main(String args[])

    {

        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver" , "./chromedriver.exe");

        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

        driver.get("https://demoqa.com/buttons");

        Actions actn = new Actions(driver);

        

        WebDriver doubleClkBtn = driver.findElement(By.id("doubleClickBtn"));

        actn.doubleClick(doubleClkBtn).perform();

    }

}

---

---

contextClick(): To perform a (Mouse)Right-Click operation on a particular Web Element.

    Syntax: action_obj.contextClick(WebElement).perform();

Example:

class RightClick

{

    public static void main(String args[])

    {

        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver" , "./chromedriver.exe");

        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

        driver.get("https://testingcolleges.blogspot.com");

        Actions actn = new Actions(driver);

        WebElement rClick = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));

        actn.contextClick(rClick).perform();

        //(or) actn.moveToElement(rClick).contextClick().perform();

    }

}

Handling mouse key hold & release:

    We can use the following methods to perform hold & release Keyword keys and Mouse keys.

    Syntax: action.clickAndHold(elementName).perform();

                 action.release(elementName).perform();

---

Handling Drag & Drop: 

    Some Web applications have the functionality to drag web elements and drop them on a defined area or element. We can automate the drag and drop of such elements using the Selenium web driver.

Syntax: action.dragAndDrop(SourceLocator, DestinationLocator);

Example:

class HandlingDragAndDrop

{

    public static void main(String args[])

    {

        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "./chromedriver.exe");

        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

        String url = "https://example.com";

        driver.get(url)

        

        WebElement dragMe = driver.findElement(By.id("123"));

        WebElement dropMe = driver.findElement(By.id("456"));

        Actions action = new Actions(driver);

        action.dragAndDrop(dragMe, dropMe).perform();

    }

}
