Mouse Hover Actions in Selenium Webdriver

Sometimes a tester wants to mouse hover on an object instead of clicking it. It can be done with the help of Action class. Let’s try it.

Step 1: Create a new project and add a new item “Basic Unit Test”.

Step2:  Add the following code into it.

using System;

using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;

using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;

using OpenQA.Selenium.Interactions;

using OpenQA.Selenium;

using System.Threading;

namespace UnitTestProject2

{

    [TestClass]

    public class ActionClass

    {

        [TestMethod]

        public void Test_Action()

            {

               

                FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

                driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.snapdeal.com/");

                driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();

                Actions a1 = new Actions(driver);

                a1.MoveToElement(driver.FindElement(By.XPath(".//*[@id='leftNavNemu']/div/div[1]/ul/li[3]/a/span[1]"))).Build().Perform();

                Thread.Sleep(3000);

              

           

                Actions a2 = new Actions(driver);

                a2.MoveToElement(driver.FindElement(By.XPath(".//*[@id='leftNavNemu']/div/div[1]/ul/li[3]/div/ul/li[3]/a/span[1]"))).Build().Perform();

                Thread.Sleep(3000);

                Actions a3 = new Actions(driver);

                a3.MoveToElement(driver.FindElement(By.XPath(".//*[@id='leftNavNemu']/div/div[1]/ul/li[3]/div/ul/li[3]/div/div/ul/li/div[1]/div/form/div[1]/p[2]/a"))).Click().Perform();

                Thread.Sleep(3000);

            }

    }

}

Step 3: Execute it and it is done.
