How to mouse over with Python Selenium 4.3.0 ?

[Centre de Formation France]

Hi,

I use :

p_driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView()", post)
time.sleep(random.uniform(0.5, 0.8))
action.move_to_element(post).perform()

To make a mouse over and try to get elements.

I am trying to get the number of comments on instagram post from a page profile.

If you pass manually the mouse over a post, the numbers of comments or likes is displayed.

But when I try to do it by python, it doesn't find the element.

I tried the xpath from console "

$x(//article//li//span[string-length(text())>0]"), 

It gives result when I freeze the browser with F8. 

Obviously,  action.move_to_element(post).perform() doesn't work and I suspect this version 4.3.0 which removed many functions like ActionChains from the Selenium  version 3,  didn't it?

Or Am I doing something wrong?

In general we can use, Action class or Javascriptexecutor or Robot class for mouse hover operations. 

Thanks and regards,
