selenium2: mouse moves, hovers, etc

[ponto]

i was trying selenium2, and the execution of
"driver.find_element(:class, 'cardItemRegister').click" fails with the
following message "Selenium::WebDriver::Error::WebDriverError: Element
is not currently visible and so may not be clicked", so i tried many
things to make a mouse hover the element (that's when he is visible)
such as "driver.find_element(:class, 'cardItemRegister').hover" which
returns me "Selenium::WebDriver::Error::WebDriverError: Internal
error: {"lineNumber":332,"message":"Component returned failure code:
0x80004001 (NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED)
[nsINativeEvents.mouseMove]","name":"NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED"}".

is there anyway to make a mouse move hover the element or so?

i talked on freenode, and it was said to me the hover functions only
worked on firefox running over windows. and i've tried this, but not
always work.
so i've tried "driver.find_elements(:xpath, "//
div[@class='cardThumb']")[0].hover" before the click action, but
sometimes works, depends on how much the elements stay hovered.

Yeah, it may just not be supported yet. Have you tried just sending
down a JavaScript call that fires the hover event?

If you don't mind, what would that JS look like? I'm in the same quandary with trying to hover to get something visible for WebDriver to see. Thanks.

[Patrick Lightbody]

WebDriver doesn't natively support firing random events like that, but
you can do this (which is also what we do for Selenium 1.x
compatibility):

JavascriptLibrary js = new JavascriptLibrary();
WebElement element = driver.findBy(...);
js.callEmbeddedSelenium(driver, "doFireEvent", element, "hover");

Let me know how that works for you.

Got a "could not find embedded selenium" error. Traceback when I get a chance.

[cburroughs]

I can suppl the stack trace:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot locate the embedded selenium
instance
at
org.openqa.selenium.internal.seleniumemulation.JavascriptLibrary.readScript(JavascriptLibrary.java:
74)
at
org.openqa.selenium.internal.seleniumemulation.JavascriptLibrary.callEmbeddedSelenium(JavascriptLibrary.java:
40)

and for reference the throwing line is:
InputStream raw = getClass().getResourceAsStream(script);

I suspect Jonoathan and I are both suffering from
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=449

[Jonathan Morris]

That sounds about right. Could we just add that to the JAR ourselves to address? Or should we wait for 2.0a3 (which is scheduled for when, by the way :) ?)

Thanks, Chris.

I keep on saying "soon", and I mean it. I'm doing quite a lot of
traveling, but I'll set aside some quiet time and cut 2.0a3 some time
next week.

I found a prior report of the issue (#412) that includes a patch that
works for me. Note that you will likely need to see #461 to actually
create working artifacts from maven.

(While we are on the subject of releases, it would be super cool if
these patches were included before the next one. Otherwise any one
who wants to use the maven artifacts will have to redo the release
themselves .)
