multiple select with Actions class

[Anupam Patil]

I tried to select multiple select value using Actions class with Control Key. It's not selecting multiple element,instead it is selecting only one. How to select multiple values with Actions class? Why the program is behaving like that?

Note:- It can be easily achieved by in-built Select class.

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.Keys;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;

public class select_with_control_key {
public static void main(String[] args) {
WebDriver d=new FirefoxDriver();
d.get("http://toolsqa.com/automation-practice-form/");
Actions actions = new Actions(d);
actions.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL)
.click(d.findElement(By.xpath("//option[text()='Wait Commands']")))
.click(d.findElement(By.xpath("//option[text()='Navigation Commands']")))
.keyUp(Keys.CONTROL)
.build()
.perform();
}
}

following codes may help you:

                        Robot robot = new Robot();

robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);

try {

for (WebElement webElement : allWebElements) {

webElement.click();

}

} finally {

robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL); 

                       }

It is java code.

Best Regards,

For Chrome and Firefox:

Actions action = new Actions(webDriver);

action.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL);

for (WebElement webElement : allWebElements) {

action.moveToElement(webElement).click(webElement);

}

action.keyUp(Keys.CONTROL);

action.build().perform();
