Webdriver module missing moveToElement

[javigomez]

Long story short: since Selenium 2.48 there is a new addition causing a lot of trouble. Is the known error:

[UnknownServerException] Element is not clickable at point (XXX.XXXXXXXX, YY.YYYYYY). Other element would receive the click:

this happens when you have a floating element over the element that you want to click:

You can seen the whole issue described at: SeleniumHQ/selenium#1202

I have tried with this suggestion (SeleniumHQ/selenium#1202 (comment)):

Adding this in my acceptance.suite.yml:

            capabilities:
              elementScrollBehavior: '1'

But doesn't seem to do the trick.

I was now trying the advise at SeleniumHQ/selenium#1202 (comment). And is to use:

And I have noticed that despite that the Facebook Webdriver implements the function:

https://github.com/facebook/php-webdriver/blob/community/lib/Interactions/WebDriverActions.php#L170-L186

The Codeception Webdriver module does not implement it.

I was wondering how to implement it. It should be something like adding this:

    public function moveTo($selector)
    {
        $el = $this->findField($selector);
        $this->webDriver->getMouse()->moveToElement($el);
    }

at: https://github.com/Codeception/Codeception/blob/2.1/src/Codeception/Module/WebDriver.php

But I'm missing something, because I get: FATAL ERROR. TESTS NOT FINISHED. Call to undefined method RemoteMouse::moveToElement()

Any advise on how to implement this?

Thanks ^_^

moveToElement is not a method of RemoteMouse, it is a method of WebDriverActions.

The only method currently using WebDriverActions is dragAndDrop: https://github.com/Codeception/Codeception/blob/2.1/src/Codeception/Module/WebDriver.php#L2005

@javigomez I hope you can get it implemebted by following an advice of @Naktibalda
If so, please send PR into 2.1 branch

Btw, In CodeceptJS we have scrollTo method. I agree we need to have smeth like it in Codeception

[javigomez]

Oh I missed that! thanks @Naktibalda for the advise 😅

Yes, @DavertMik I will try to implement today and I'll send news.
Naming it scrollTo like you do in CodeceptJS sounds to me much better than moveTo or moveToElement. I will use that name.

Also we could create a function like this in codeception: https://github.com/gterre/stuff/blob/master/JavascriptUtils.java#L155-L174 adding it to the Click command.

So when I do $I->click we always check if the element is clickable before clicking on it, otherwise we raise an error.

#2882 should close this issue
