How to mousehover and click on an element

[Maroof Ahmed Khan]

Hi Guys,

I am learning selenium and want to perform mouse hover and logout action on www.flipkart.com website.

​

But my code is throwing org.openqa.selenium.StaleElementReferenceException

My code is:

Actions action = new Actions(driver);

WebElement we = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@class='no-border']"));

action.moveToElement(we).moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//ul[@class='account-dropdown']//*[contains(@href,'logout')]"))).click().build().perform();

Please help

Regards,

Maroof

If Selenium aint helping you , you can try Sikuli jar too.

You only need one mouse move to Hi Testmak...!, and then click the option logout. Remember, selenium action is not real mouse move, but it is only to send message to html to trigger a like mouse movement action.  

As a human you move your mouse twice to finish that action, but not for machine.

A StaleElementReferenceException means that the element you are trying to interact with no longer exists.

Assuming this is an Ajax heavy site is has probably been destroyed and recreated and your WebElement object is still pointing at the old one that has been destroyed.  It’s easy to fix, you just need to find you element again, in other words use the same .findElement() call that you used before.

Adding waits will not do anything, the original element no longer exists, you can wait as long as you like but it’s not coming back.
