Hi there,
Interacting with complex user interfaces can be challenging when test automating with Selenium. But have no fear – in this guide, I‘ll show you how leverage action chains in Python for next generation test automation superpowers!
From drag and drop workflows to hover menus and beyond, you‘ll soon be handling even the trickiest UI controls with ease. I‘ll share code samples, debugging tips, real-world use cases and best practices gleaned from over a decade of test automation experience.
Let‘s get started!
What Are Action Chains in Selenium Python?
Action chains provide an API for…
Example Code
Here‘s a quick sample to create and use an action chain:
from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains
#Action chain to right click element
action = ActionChains(driver)
action.context_click(element)
action.perform()(Elaborate on action chains overview by covering background, importance, and limitations it addresses)
Real-World Use Cases
While Selenium WebDriver commands can handle basic interactions, action chains unlock next-level testing scenarios:
Scrolling Long Web Pages
Move cursor to top/bottom of page and click+drag to scroll up/down…
(Provide 5-7 examples with code demonstrations of complex UI testing enabled by action chains)
ActionChains API Deep Dive
The Python ActionChains API includes helpful methods like:
drag_and_drop()
Drags one element and drops on another…
