Drag And Drop Example In Selenium

Suppose we have a requirement to drag a webelement from one location and drop in another using a selenium script. In selenium webdriver, we can perform drag and drop or mouse operations by using Actions class.

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Action;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;

public class Training {

 public static void main(String[] args) {

  WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
  driver.get("http: //jqueryui. com/droppable/");
  driver.manage().window().maximize();
  driver.switchTo().frame(0);
  driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(80, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
  WebElement dragElement = driver.findElement(By.id("draggable"));
  WebElement dropElement = driver.findElement(By.id("droppable"));

  Actions builder = new Actions(driver); 
  Action dragAndDrop = builder.clickAndHold(dragElement)
    .moveToElement(dropElement).release(dropElement).build();
  dragAndDrop.perform();

 }

}
