Re: cannot convert from 'openqa.selenium.by' to 'openqa.selenium.iwebelement'

This line is incorrect Rmouseover.MoveToElement(RMenu).Perform();

instead it should be:

Rmouseover.MoveToElement(driver.findElement(RMenu)).Perform();

I am trying to perform a mouseover and then click on a submenu that wasn't present..

This is my code:

private By RMenu = By.LinkText("Reports");

    public HomePage SetMenu(string menu)
    {
        Actions Rmouseover = new Actions(_driver);
        Rmouseover.MoveToElement(RMenu).Perform();
        return this;
    }

And I am getting this error at (RMenu) `Rmouseover.MoveToElement(RMenu).Perform()`:

cannot convert from 'openqa.selenium.by' to 'openqa.selenium.iwebelement'

I have tried `Rmouseover.MoveToElement(RMenu).Build().Perform()` and I still get the same error. What am I doing wrong or what am I not doing?

Hi Geezus-

The Argument to MoveToElement  method should be of webdriver's type. Seems like you have passed the object type of By class.
