hover

[NormanChin]

The problem is that the hover() method has been removed from selenium-
server-standalone-2.0b3.jar.
What's the replacement?

In *2.0b2.jar, this is the code that was "working" (actually flaky):

RenderedWebElement rwe = (RenderedWebElement)
driver.findElement(...);
rwe.hover();

I replaced it with this and it seems to work for me:

WebElement we = driver.findElement(...);

ActionChainsGenerator builder = ((HasInputDevices)
driver).actionsBuilder();
Action hover = builder.moveToElement(we).build();
hover.perform();

Hope this helps!

It looks like you're doing this from the Java client, correct?

Are you using RemoteDriver?

When you do this, does the hover response stay until you do something
else?

I ask because when I do this with IE from the Ruby binding via
RemoteDriver, the hover happens but then immediately goes away, and
I'm curious where in the chain the problem lies.

Yes, I'm doing this from a Java client.

I'm not using RemoteDriver.

 

On IE, the hover response does stay until I click a submenu item. At least to me, it works as expected.

The problem in IE is likely that your mouse pointer is physically over
the browser window when the hover happens. If your pointer is not over
the IE window while your test is running, I'd be interested to know if
you still see the hover response disappear after a brief period.

Hello sheen,
it opens for me to show the hover menu ..but the menu does not stay and i could not select the menu for the context menu opened..
i m using FF 3.6 ?

have u seen such issue that hover menu does not stay for longer enough to select the element from the menu ?

any additional code you have used to make that work ?

thanks
ramnik

Hi Ramnik,

I saw similar issues just a few times, but it works properly in most of the cases.... I'm doing something like this

            WaitForElement(By.XPath("locator"));

            webElement = FindElement(By.XPath("locator"));

            new Actions(webDriver).MoveToElement(webElement).Perform();

The only issue that I have is with nested menus where I need to hover at least 2 elements for example

     MainMenu

     SubMenu1

     Submenu2  ----- >

                               ------->NestedSubmenu2-1

                               ------->NestedSubmenu2-2     I need to click this element, but for some reason when I tried to click this, it will select the element inside the Submenu3

                               ------->NestedSubmenu2-3

     Submenu3

                               ------->NestedSubmenu3-1

                               ------->NestedSubmenu3-2

It works fine on IE, but I having that problem in FF, the only workaround that I found was to execute 2 times the selection, I tried with css, xpath and linktext

            WaitForElement(By.LinkText("MainMenu"));

            webElement = FindElement(By.LinkText("MainMenu"));

            new Actions(webDriver).MoveToElement(webElement).Perform();

            WaitForElement(By.LinkText("Submenu2"));

            webElement = FindElement(By.LinkText("Submenu2"));

            new Actions(webDriver).MoveToElement(webElement).Perform();

           

            WaitForElement(By.LinkText("NestedSubmenu2-2"));

            Click(By.LinkText("NestedSubmenu2-2"));     For some reason it is selecting the NestedSubmenu3-2 the first time

            //***************************************************************

            //WORKAROUND, Select the Element again and works fine

            ////***************************************************************

            

            WaitForElement(By.LinkText("MainMenu"));

            webElement = FindElement(By.LinkText("MainMenu"));

            new Actions(webDriver).MoveToElement(webElement).Perform();

            WaitForElement(By.LinkText("Submenu2"));

            webElement = FindElement(By.LinkText("Submenu2"));

            new Actions(webDriver).MoveToElement(webElement).Perform();

           

            WaitForElement(By.LinkText("NestedSubmenu2-2"));

            Click(By.LinkText("NestedSubmenu2-2"));

I'm not pretty sure but I think that the scroll action in the page could affect the hover execution when I tried to select the option that I want.

Thanks a lot ..i will try this suggestion now and let u know how it goes ..

thanks

hmmm, for ".but the menu does not stay and i could not select the menu for the context menu opened..", my guess is you can just add a wait after hover so that hover action keeps the menu stay, and then you can do the action on that menu, can u give a try?

I had the same issue and finally gave up on it and used the JavaScript executor to set the display to block then click what I needed. 

[Moisés Siles]

Hi Danny could you share a little bit your code to see how can I achieve that.... And then I can see if I have to change my current code

Just set the css display property of the element to block:

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].style.display='block';", yourWebElement);
