New issue 6468 by perineed...@gmail.com: moveToElement() method of Actions
class is not working in selenium 2.37
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=6468

What steps will reproduce the problem?
My webpage has a dropdown ul contains 10 li elements. first 4 li elements
only visible. remaing 6 li elements can be visible by scrolling only.
selenium can't click invisible elements. To make li element visible, I used
to scroll using method moveToElement() of Actions class. So that we can
click element.

WebElement element= ....; //this is the li element which is invisible in
dropdown ul
Actions builder = new Actions(firefoxDriver);
builder.moveToElement(element).build().perform();
element.click();

this code is working fine selenium 2.32 with Firefox 22.
But After upgrading selenium to version 2.37 with Firefox 24.0, It is not
working.


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
after using moveToElement(element), element should be visible.
But still element is not visible. so element can't be clickable.


Selenium version: 2.37
OS: Ubuntu 12.10
Browser: Firefox
Browser version: 24.0

Ha! I'm currently investigating the same issue. For me it's Selenium 2.32
and FF 17 to 2.37 and FF 24.

And, by the way, provide an executable scenario and a sample page to
reproduce the issue.

I've reported a similar issue for ChromeDriver at
https://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=605. It works for
me on WebDriver 2.37 & FF 24 though.

I'm seeing either the same or very similar issue with 2.37 and Firefox 24 &
25

For me the following testcase scrolls in 24 and does not scroll in 25:
import java.io.File;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxBinary;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxProfile;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;

public class Example {
@Test
public void ExampleTest() {
FirefoxProfile p = new FirefoxProfile();
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(new FirefoxBinary(new
File("C:\\FF-Selenium_\\firefox.exe")), p);
driver.get("http://code.google.com/p/selenium/");
WebElement link = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Terms"));

Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
builder.moveToElement(link).build().perform();
}
}

Obviously for the scrolling to happen the window/screen must be small
enough that the Terms link appears below the fold. I also saw it fail with
2.36 so it seems to be tied to Firefox version change. 2.37 with Firefox 24
scrolls this testcase for me.

Hi,
I'm facing exactly similar issue with Dropdown options , the ones
which are not in the view.

I have tried alternatives but didn't help :( -

1. IMouse mouse = ((IHasInputDevices)WebDriver).Mouse;
mouse.MouseMove(item.Coordinates);

2. ILocatable item = (ILocatable)option.ControlWebElement;
System.Drawing.Point p = item.LocationOnScreenOnceScrolledIntoView;



Environment -
Os : Win 7 , 64 bit
Selenium 2.37 C# bindings
Firefox 23,26
IE - 10

@rupam08
By using JavaScriptExecutor, if you run jQuery mouseover() on a
dropdownOption which is not in view Then the option may come into the view.
Example: selenium.executeScript("jQuery(\".optionSelector\").mouseover();");
It worked for me as a workaround.

I thought of the javascript option, however I'm running tests in parallel
on multiple instances of different browsers, hence if I give control
outside webdriver I think might face browser focus issue.

Please let me know if for anyone running javascript on parallel browser
instances had any -ve effects or not.

I got similar challenge with my project. But as I was fiddling with
different methods I found this solution below:

I simply added a .click() method as:

WebElement element= ....; //this is the li element which is invisible in
dropdown ul
Actions builder = new Actions(firefoxDriver);

builder.moveToElement(element).click().build().perform();

Hope this helps
