Question

How may I move the mouse cursor to a given position in the page using Selenium Webdriver?

Answer 1

Here is a piece of code where we can move the mouse pointer to a location and clicking on the moved region

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Monaco} span.s1 {color: #7e504f} span.s2 {color: #931a68} span.s3 {color: #0326cc} span.s4 {color: #3933ff} span.Apple-tab-span {white-space:pre}

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;

Actions builder = new Actions(driver);  

WebElement Element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id='signUpModal']")); 

builder.moveToElement(Element, 100, 100).click().build().perform();

Note: The Pointer will move with reference to region of element described "Element"(Top left of Element region is considered as 0,0).

Moving mouse cursor is something which can not be done. However you can simulate the action using below methods.

 

1) using Action moveToElement :

driver.findElement(By.xpath("element1")).click();

new Actions(driver).moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.xpath("element2"))).click().perform();

 

2) using mouseMove

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("element xpath"));

Locatable hoverItem = (Locatable) element;

Mouse mouse = ((HasInputDevice) driver).getMouse();

mouse.mouseMove(hoverItem.getCoordinates());

error: getting a error in ((HasInputDevice) driver). 

 

3)Using Locatable class 

Locatable hoverItem = (Locatable) driver.findElement(By.xpath("element xpath"));

int y = hoverItem.getCoordinates().getLocationOnScreen().getY();

((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,"+y+");");

 

4) Using Point and Robot classes

Point coordinates = driver.findElement(By.xpath("element xpath")).getLocatio();

Robot robot = new Robot();

WebElement markNews = driver.findElement(By.xpath("element xpath"));

markNews.click();

robot.mouseMove(coordinates.x,coordinates.y+80);

 

 

Hope that helps

Use Robot class in Java.
