Selenium java webdriver 3: moveToElement not working.
WebElement element = ...
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(element).build().perform();
Tried, adding click()
WebElement element = ...
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(element).click().build().perform();
Not working. The mouse is not moved.
WebElement abcd = ..........
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(abcd).perform();
Above code will work, but please check with the chrome.exe version and the chrome version you are using it your machine. both should be compatible to one another. Check the compatibility with below link.
https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/
Skip the build() part, perform() does it underneath anyway.
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.linkText("host"));
actions.moveToElement(element).build().perform();
This will work. first check your "find element" method is write or wrong. Please post this step as well. otherwise your code is correct.
try to find element by xpath rather than link text. it worked for me.
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("..."));
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(element).build().perform();
Try below code
public static void mouse_movement(WebDriver driver, String xpathExpression) {
Actions act = new Actions(driver);
WebElement target = driver.findElement(By.xpath(xpathExpression));
act.moveToElement(target).build().perform();
}
if you need to click the element you could try javascript:
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", driver.findElement(By.xpath(xPath)));
I have solved this problem with:
const element = await driver.findElement(...)
await driver.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element)
await driver.sleep(500);
I have searched but havent found something similar to what Im trying to do. I'm using java by the way, I'm trying to click/access an a tag with selenium. The issue is that I'm not sure how to go about it. There seems to be a function/event that I need to set off but not quite sure how to. I tried a few ways as get text and clicking but I knew that wasn't going to work. Also I seen there are ways of using JavascriptExecutor but not sure how to use it for my case. I will post the tag below and alsothe function signature, that might help. If theres a similar question please post the link.
<a name="DERIVED_SSS_SCL_SSS_ENRL_CART$276$" id="DERIVED_SSS_SCL_SSS_ENRL_CART$276$" ptlinktgt="pt_peoplecode" tabindex="203" onclick="javascript:cancelBubble(event);" href="javascript:submitAction_win0(document.win0,'DERIVED_SSS_SCL_SSS_ENRL_CART$276$');" class="SSSHYPERLINKBOLDSMALL">Enrollment Shopping Cart</a>
the signature
function submitAction_win0(form, id, event)
You don't need any JS. Just use this xpath:
"//a[contains(#onclick,'javascript:cancelBubble(event);')]"
Be sure the element is clickable, see
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
for the case of more matches:
List<WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//a[contains(#onclick,'javascript:cancelBubble(event);')]"));
int elementIndex = 0; // 0 to get first of the 33 mathes, 32 to get the last one
WebElement element = elements.get(elementIndex);
element.click();
EDIT:
You should use WebDriverWait to avoid NoSuchElementException this way the driver will wait until the element is clickable... it will wait up to 10 seconds you can tell it to wait more if needed...
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.partialLinkText("Student Center")));
element.click();
Using click():
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a[class='SSSHYPERLINKBOLDSMALL']"));
element.click();
Using JavascriptExecutor (Not recommended):
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("a[class='SSSHYPERLINKBOLDSMALL']"));
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);
You can use other locators too... like linkText:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Enrollment Shopping Cart"));
Or partialLinkText:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("Shopping Cart"));
Is there any way in either Selenium 1.x or 2.x to scroll the browser window so that a particular element identified by an XPath is in view of the browser? There is a focus method in Selenium, but it does not seem to physically scroll the view in FireFox. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?
The reason I need this is I'm testing the click of an element on the page. Unfortunately the event doesn't seem to work unless the element is visible. I don't have control of the code that fires when the element is clicked, so I can't debug or make modifications to it, so, easiest solution is to scroll the item into view.
Have tried many things with respect to scroll, but the below code has provided better results.
This will scroll until the element is in view:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("id_of_element"));
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element);
Thread.sleep(500);
//do anything you want with the element
You can use the org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions class to move to an element.
Java:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("my-id"));
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(element);
actions.perform();
Python:
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(driver.sl.find_element_by_id('my-id')).perform()
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("javascript:window.scrollBy(250,350)");
You may want to try this.
If you want to scroll on the Firefox window using the Selenium webdriver, one of the ways is to use JavaScript in the Java code. The JavaScript code to scroll down (to bottom of the web page) is as follows:
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("window.scrollTo(0, Math.max(document.documentElement.scrollHeight, document.body.scrollHeight, document.documentElement.clientHeight));");
Targeting any element and sending down keys (or up/left/right) seems to work also. I know this is a bit of a hack, but I'm not really into the idea of using JavaScript to solve the scrolling problem either.
For example:
WebElement.sendKeys(Keys.DOWN);
In Selenium we need to take the help of a JavaScript executor to scroll to an element or scroll the page:
je.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element);
In the above statement element is the exact element where we need to scroll. I tried the above code, and it worked for me.
I have a complete post and video on this:
http://learn-automation.com/how-to-scroll-into-view-in-selenium-webdriver/
webElement = driver.findElement(By.xpath("bla-bla-bla"));
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", webElement);
For more examples, go here. All in Russian, but Java code is cross-cultural :)
I found that the bounding rect of my element was not correct, leading to the browser scrolling well off the screen. However, the following code works rather well for me:
private void scrollToElement(WebElement webElement) throws Exception {
((JavascriptExecutor)webDriver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoViewIfNeeded()", webElement);
Thread.sleep(500);
}
You can use this code snippet to scroll:
C#
var element = Driver.FindElement(By.Id("element-id"));
Actions actions = new Actions(Driver);
actions.MoveToElement(element).Perform();
There you have it
This worked for me:
IWebElement element = driver.FindElements(getApplicationObject(currentObjectName, currentObjectType, currentObjectUniqueId))[0];
((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element);
Use the driver to send keys like the pagedown or downarrow key to bring the element into view. I know it's too simple a solution and might not be applicable in all cases.
From my experience, Selenium Webdriver doesn't auto scroll to an element on click when there are more than one scrollable section on the page (which is quite common).
I am using Ruby, and for my AUT, I had to monkey patch the click method as follows;
class Element
#
# Alias the original click method to use later on
#
alias_method :base_click, :click
# Override the base click method to scroll into view if the element is not visible
# and then retry click
#
def click
begin
base_click
rescue Selenium::WebDriver::Error::ElementNotVisibleError
location_once_scrolled_into_view
base_click
end
end
The 'location_once_scrolled_into_view' method is an existing method on WebElement class.
I apreciate you may not be using Ruby but it should give you some ideas.
The Ruby script for scrolling an element into view is as below.
$driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element)
sleep(3)
element.click
Selenium 2 tries to scroll to the element and then click on it. This is because Selenium 2 will not interact with an element unless it thinks that it is visible.
Scrolling to the element happens implicitly so you just need to find the item and then work with it.
Sometimes I also faced the problem of scrolling with Selenium. So I used javaScriptExecuter to achieve this.
For scrolling down:
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
js.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0, 250)", "");
Or, also
js.executeScript("scroll(0, 250);");
For scrolling up:
js.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,-250)", "");
Or,
js.executeScript("scroll(0, -250);");
This is a repeated solution with JavaScript, but with an added waiting for element.
Otherwise ElementNotVisibleException may appear if some action on the element is being done.
this.executeJavaScriptFunction("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", elementToBeViewable);
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(getDriver(), 5);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(elementToBeViewable));
I have used this way for scrolling the element and click:
List<WebElement> image = state.getDriver().findElements(By.xpath("//*[contains(#src,'image/plus_btn.jpg')]"));
for (WebElement clickimg : image)
{
((JavascriptExecutor) state.getDriver()).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(false);", clickimg);
clickimg.click();
}
def scrollToElement(element: WebElement) = {
val location = element.getLocation
driver.asInstanceOf[JavascriptExecutor].executeScript(s"window.scrollTo(${location.getX},${location.getY});")
}
Something that worked for me was to use the Browser.MoveMouseToElement method on an element at the bottom of the browser window. Miraculously it worked in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome.
I chose this over the JavaScript injection technique just because it felt less hacky.
You may want to visit page Scroll Web elements and Web page- Selenium WebDriver using Javascript:
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
FirefoxDriver ff = new FirefoxDriver();
ff.get("http://toolsqa.com");
Thread.sleep(5000);
ff.executeScript("document.getElementById('text-8').scrollIntoView(true);");
}
If you think other answers were too hacky, this one is too, but there is no JavaScript injection involved.
When the button is off the screen, it breaks and scrolls to it, so retry it... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
try
{
element.Click();
}
catch {
element.Click();
}
In most of the situation for scrolling this code will work.
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath_Of_Element"));
js.executeScript("arguments[0].click();",element);
JAVA
Try scroll to element utilize x y position, and use JavascriptExecutor with this is argument: "window.scrollBy(x, y)".
Following import:
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor;
First you need get x y location the element.
//initialize element
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("..."));
//get position
int x = element.getLocation().getX();
int y = element.getLocation().getY();
//scroll to x y
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("window.scrollBy(" +x +", " +y +")");
I am not sure if the question is still relevant but after referring to scrollIntoView documentation from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/scrollIntoView.
The easiest solution would be
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView({block: \"center\",inline: \"center\",behavior: \"smooth\"});",element);
This scrolls the element into center of the page.
Javascript
The solustion is simple:
const element = await driver.findElement(...)
await driver.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element)
await driver.sleep(500);
The default behavior of Selenium us to scroll so the element is barely in view at the top of the viewport. Also, not all browsers have the exact same behavior. This is very dis-satisfying. If you record videos of your browser tests, like I do, what you want is for the element to scroll into view and be vertically centered.
Here is my solution for Java:
public List<String> getBoundedRectangleOfElement(WebElement we)
{
JavascriptExecutor je = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
List<String> bounds = (ArrayList<String>) je.executeScript(
"var rect = arguments[0].getBoundingClientRect();" +
"return [ '' + parseInt(rect.left), '' + parseInt(rect.top), '' + parseInt(rect.width), '' + parseInt(rect.height) ]", we);
System.out.println("top: " + bounds.get(1));
return bounds;
}
And then, to scroll, you call it like this:
public void scrollToElementAndCenterVertically(WebElement we)
{
List<String> bounds = getBoundedRectangleOfElement(we);
Long totalInnerPageHeight = getViewPortHeight(driver);
JavascriptExecutor je = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
je.executeScript("window.scrollTo(0, " + (Integer.parseInt(bounds.get(1)) - (totalInnerPageHeight/2)) + ");");
je.executeScript("arguments[0].style.outline = \"thick solid #0000FF\";", we);
}
I've been doing testing with ADF components and you have to have a separate command for scrolling if lazy loading is used. If the object is not loaded and you attempt to find it using Selenium, Selenium will throw an element-not-found exception.
If nothing works, try this before clicking:
public void mouseHoverJScript(WebElement HoverElement) {
String mouseOverScript = "if(document.createEvent){var evObj = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');evObj.initEvent('mouseover', true, false); arguments[0].dispatchEvent(evObj);} else if(document.createEventObject) { arguments[0].fireEvent('onmouseover');}";
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(mouseOverScript, HoverElement);
}
In Java we can scroll by using JavaScript, like in the following code:
driver.getEval("var elm = window.document.getElementById('scrollDiv'); if (elm.scrollHeight > elm.clientHeight){elm.scrollTop = elm.scrollHeight;}");
You can assign a desired value to the "elm.scrollTop" variable.
A solution is:
public void javascriptclick(String element)
{
WebElement webElement = driver.findElement(By.xpath(element));
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", webElement);
System.out.println("javascriptclick" + " " + element);
}
