Double-clicking using Selenium in Java involves using the ‘Actions‘ class. The ‘Actions‘ class provides various interactions like mouse movements, key press/release, drag-and-drop, and more. To perform a double-click, you will typically:

  • Create an instance of the ‘Actions‘ class.
  • Use the ‘moveToElement‘ method to move the mouse pointer to the desired element.
  • Use the ‘doubleClick‘ method to perform the double-click action.
  • Call the ‘perform‘ method to execute the actions.

Step-by-Step Example

  1. Set up the environment: Ensure you have the necessary dependencies in your project. For instance, if you’re using Maven, include the Selenium dependency in your ‘pom.xml':
				
					<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
    <version>4.0.0</version>
</dependency>

				
			
  1. Initialize WebDriver: Set up your WebDriver instance (e.g., for Chrome).

  2. Navigate to the target page: Open the web page where you want to perform the double-click action.

  3. Locate the target element: Use the appropriate WebDriver methods to find the element you want to double-click.

  4. Perform the double-click action: Use the ‘Actions‘ class to perform the double-click.

				
					import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;

public class DoubleClickExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Set the path to the chromedriver executable
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/chromedriver");

        // Initialize the WebDriver
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

        try {
            // Navigate to the target web page
            driver.get("https://www.example.com");

            // Locate the element to be double-clicked
            WebElement targetElement = driver.findElement(By.id("double-click-target"));

            // Create an instance of Actions class
            Actions actions = new Actions(driver);

            // Perform the double-click action
            actions.moveToElement(targetElement).doubleClick().perform();

            // Optionally, you can add some validation or additional actions here
            System.out.println("Double-click action performed successfully!");

        } finally {
            // Close the browser
            driver.quit();
        }
    }
}

				
			

Explanation:

1. Setting up WebDriver:

				
					System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/chromedriver");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

				
			
  1. Set the system property to specify the path to your ChromeDriver executable.
  2. Initialize the ‘WebDriver‘ instance.

2. Navigating to the target page:

				
					driver.get("https://www.example.com");

				
			
  • Use the ‘get‘ method to navigate to the desired URL.

3. Locating the target element:

				
					WebElement targetElement = driver.findElement(By.id("double-click-target"));

				
			
  • Use the ‘findElement‘ method to locate the element you want to double-click. Replace ‘By.id("double-click-target")‘ with the appropriate locator strategy for your element.

4. Performing the double-click action:

				
					Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(targetElement).doubleClick().perform();

				
			
  • Create an instance of the ‘Actions‘ class.
  • Chain the ‘moveToElement‘ and ‘doubleClick‘ methods.
  • Call the ‘perform‘ method to execute the actions.
  • Ensure that the element you are interacting with is visible and enabled. Otherwise, Selenium might throw an exception.
  • You can add additional steps, such as waiting for the element to be visible or adding assertions to verify the outcome of the double-click action.
