Selenium - Mouse Actions using Python

Mouse and Keyboard Action:

    When we want to use Mouse or Keyboard actions we should create an "ActionChains" class object and we should import "from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains".

• Syntax:
• from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains
• #
•  action_obj = ActionChains(driver)

Method for ActionChains Class:

perform(): perform-function in the ActionChains is used to create a chain of actions or operations you want to perform.

---

move_to_element(element):  This function is used to Move the mouse point to an element.

• Syntax:
• a =  ActionChains(driver)
• element = driver.find_element(By.ID, "123")
• a.move_to_element(element).perform()

---

---

double_click(element):  This function can perform a double-click on an element.

• Syntax:
• a = ActionChains(driver)
• element = driver.find_element(By.ID, "123")
• a.double_click(element).perform()

---

---

context_click(element):  This function can perform a (Mouse)Right-Click operation on an element.

• Syntax:
• a = ActionChains(driver)
• element = driver.find_element(By.ID, "123")
• a.context_click(element).perform()

---

---

click_and_hold(element): This function can perform hold down the left mouse button on an element.

• Syntax:
• a =  ActionChains(driver)
• element = driver.find_element(By.ID, "123")
• a.click_and_hold("element").peroform()

---

---

drag_and_drop(Source, Destination): This function 

• Syntax:
• a = ActionChains(driver)
• source = driver.find_element(By.ID, "123")
• destination = driver.find_element(By.ID, "ABC")
• a.drag_and_drop(source, destination).perform()

---

---

Note: if the element = None, then it performs the action on the current mouse position.

Program:

1. from selenium import webdriver
2. from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains
3. from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

5. driver = webdriver.Chrome()
6. driver.get("https://testingcolleges.blogspot.com/2023/08/alert-demo-pages.html")
7. 
   
8. action = ActionChains(driver)
9. # Double-Click
10. double = driver.find_element(By.ID, "doubleclick")
11. action.move_to_element(double).double_click().perform()
12. time.sleep(2)
13. 
    
14. # Right-Click
15. right = driver.find_element(By.ID, "rclick")
16. action.context_click(right).perform()
17. time.sleep(2)
18. 
    
19. driver.close()
