Is there a way to click on an element with an offset

[Michael Zazzali]

I want to be able to test some canvas actions and I need to be able to click either at a fixed position or relative to an element(in this case being the canvas element).

I was looking for something along the lines of

 (click "myElement" {:x 50 :y 65})

I looked outside of the clj-webdriver project at the selenium apis and I found 2 more possibilities

Selenium has a mouse interface that you can call mouse up on

https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/AdvancedUserInteractions#Mouse

And maybe through the Action API

http://selenium.googlecode.com/git/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/interactions/Actions.html

I was unable to get the Action instantiated I tried the below line of code to instantiate a new instance but it doesn't work and I am probably getting ahead of myself with my knowledge of clojure in this case.

 (new org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions *driver*)

Does anyone know how I can click at a position or relative to an element?

I realized after taking a closer look that the *driver* is just a map, don't know how I missed that so doing (:webdriver *driver*) returns the driver.

Reading the documentation more I also found that the driver contains the actions class already so I was able to put the below statement together but it still won't click relative to the position of my canvas.

(let [act (:actions driver)] (.moveToElement act (:webelement (find-element-by driver {:tag :canvas})) 30 30) (.click act) (.perform act))

I then tried testing a simple div element to see if it was clicking anything at all and just added this to my html

div onclick="alert('test')" test div

And calling this statement

(let [act (:actions driver)] (.moveToElement act (:webelement (find-element-by driver {:tag :div}))) (.click act) (.perform act))

That statement worked so I am getting closer.

I then went ahead and tried the offset again but on the div thinking that this would click outside of the div and not trigger anything

(let [act (:actions driver)] (.moveToElement act (:webelement (find-element-by driver {:tag :div})) 120 120) (.click act) (.perform act))

The bad news is that this also triggered the alert popup, I am not sure why, but it makes me think the offset is not working at all.

Any Ideas?

I tried the same code with chrome and it works.  I think this might be a bug with the firefox webdriver or an incompatibility between firefox itself and the version of the webdriver.

Sorry to reply late in the game. Element locations are calculated differently for Selenium in Chrome and Firefox, so hardcoded location/offset tests are less reliable. IIRC, Chrome uses the center of the element while Firefox uses the top-left corner.
