📌 What is Actions Class in Selenium?

The Actions class in Selenium WebDriver is used to perform advanced user interactions such as mouse hover, right click, drag and drop, keyboard actions, and clicking elements.

Sometimes normal click() does not work because elements are hidden, overlapped, or dynamic. In such cases Selenium provides the Actions class.

🖱 Click Using Actions Class

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("button"));

actions.click(element).perform();

🖱 Double Click Example

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("doubleClick"));

actions.doubleClick(element).perform();

🖱 Right Click Example (contextClick)

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("rightClick"));

actions.contextClick(element).perform();

🖱 Drag and Drop Example

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);

WebElement source = driver.findElement(By.id("drag"));

WebElement target = driver.findElement(By.id("drop"));

actions.dragAndDrop(source, target).perform();

🔄 Important Mouse Actions Methods

• click() – Click on element
• doubleClick() – Double click action
• contextClick() – Right click action
• dragAndDrop() – Drag element and drop to target

🎯 Real-World Use Cases

• Handling complex UI interactions
• Clicking hidden or dynamic elements
• Automating drag and drop functionality
• Handling right-click context menus
