using OpenQA.Selenium.Interactions;

namespace WebDriverActions
{
    class WebDriverTest
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("");
            IWebElement source = driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector(""));
            IWebElement target = driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector(""));
            Actions action = new Actions(driver);
            action.DragAndDrop(source, target).Perform();
        }
    }
}

The above will find an IWebElement, source, and drag it to, and drop it into the second IWebElement, target.

Java

Drag and Drop using source and target webelement.

A convenience method that performs click-and-hold at the location of the source element, moves to the location of the target element, then releases the mouse.

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;

/**
 * Drag and Drop test using source and target webelement
 */
public class DragAndDropClass {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
        driver.get("");
        WebElement source = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(""));
        WebElement target = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(""));
        Actions action = new Actions(driver);
        action.build();
        action.dragAndDrop(source, target).perform();
    }
}

Drag an element and drop it at a given offset.

A convenience method that performs click-and-hold at the location of the source element, moves by a given offset (x and y, both integers), then releases the mouse.

WebElement source = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(""));
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.build()
action.dragAndDropBy(source, x, y).perform(); // x and y are integers value

C#

Suppose you want to test that when you hover over an element, a drop list is displayed. You may want to check the contents of this list, or perhaps select an option from the list.

First create an Action, to hover over the element (e.g. my element has link text "Admin"):

Actions mouseHover = new Actions(driver);
mouseHover.MoveToElement(driver.FindElement(By.LinkText("Admin"))).Perform();

In the example above:

• You have created the action mouseHover
• You have told driver to move to a specific element
• From here you can perform other Actions with the mouseHover object or continue testing with your driver object

This approach is of particular use when clicking on an element performs a different function than hovering over it.

A full example:

Actions mouseHover = new Actions(driver);
mouseHover.MoveToElement(driver.FindElement(By.LinkText("Admin"))).Perform();

Assert.IsTrue(driver.FindElement(By.LinkText("Edit Record")).Displayed);
Assert.IsTrue(driver.FindElement(By.LinkText("Delete Record")).Displayed);
