Using Actions is giving exception as unsupportedCommandException.

Tried to do something like this:

Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.moveToElement(element).build().perform();
driver.findElement(By.linkText("All Actions")).click();

Element is the webElement which I tried to hover.

Tried this also:

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].focus();",element);
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);

But no luck.

I am working with seleniumbox and using latest version of selenium 3.9.1.

As per your question only to Mouse Hover an element first you have to wait for the element to be visible. With Selenium-Java Client v3.9.1 , ChromeDriver v2.35 and Chrome v 63.0 this block of code works perfect at my end :

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("xpath_of_element")));
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.moveToElement(element).perform();

Update

As per your question :

  • You are using GeckoDriver v0.19 and Firefox 56.x

As per the trace logs :

  • You are using Selenium Client v3.4.0

3.4.0

The Release Notes of Geckodriver v0.19.0 (2017-09-16) clearly mentions :

Note that with geckodriver 0.19.0 the following versions are recommended: - Firefox 55.0 (and greater) - Selenium 3.5 (and greater)

Hence you see the error :

Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.UnsupportedCommandException: mouseMoveTo Build info: version: '3.4.0', revision: 'unknown', time: 'unknown

  • Action is not working. On Using actions, it gives unsupportedcommandexception. I have already provided wait using Thread.sleep(5000); – user892077 Feb 20 '18 at 10:06
  • My main aim is to hover over an element and then click on an element which comes in drop down . Drop down is visible on mouse hover and disappers after element loses focus.
    • All
      • I want to select "All" in this.

  • Hi DebanjanB, I didnt change my question, i just tried to elaborate more. I have already tried your code and it is not working. – user892077 Feb 20 '18 at 11:07
  • Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.UnsupportedCommandException: mouseMoveTo Build info: version: '3.4.0', revision: 'unknown', time: 'unknown' This is the exception. Code works on local but not on remote. – user892077 Feb 20 '18 at 11:10
  • But I am using 3.9.1 version only. My pom.xml contents are : io.github.seleniumquery seleniumquery 0.16.0 org.seleniumhq.selenium selenium-java 3.9.1 org.seleniumhq.selenium selenium-server 3.9.1 – user892077 Feb 20 '18 at 11:34

  • @user892077 Are you using eclipse? Try to `right-click` on your project. Then select `Maven -> Update Project`. Also, make sure you removed any libraries you added manually which might override libraries downloaded by maven dependencies. – Fenio Feb 20 '18 at 14:15
  • @RafałLaskowski Yes I am using eclipse. Version is neon . and I have updated maven project also but it is giving exception. – user892077 Feb 21 '18 at 04:21
  • @user892077 Were you able to find a solution to this problem? I am facing the same issue while running on sauce labs. In my local I don't see a problem because I am using 3.7.1 but Sauce uses 3.4.0 by default. – Harish Talanki Apr 05 '18 at 21:56

The Action doesn't work. The possible solution is to change the version of Firefox and GeckoDriver to lower (Stable version).

Example for IEDriver:

selenium-standalone install --version=2.47.0 --drivers.ie.version=2.53.1

selenium-standalone start --version=2.47.0 --drivers.ie.version=2.53.1

  • Any other solution ? Actually I tried changing version also, but as I am using seleniumbox , downgraded version is having many problems such as opening a new tab and sendkeys, that is why I have upgraded the version. Is there any alternate way of doing this – user892077 Feb 20 '18 at 11:09
  • Try to use click and hold insted of hover. It's not the same but if you need the state of your element and take screenshot that it could be a good solution. Did you try to use mouseDown ? – Jack Feb 20 '18 at 13:32
  • Try to use this JavaScript solution from [Stackoverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17226676/how-do-i-simulate-a-mouseover-in-pure-javascript-that-activates-the-css-hover) or this [JQuery](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11038638/simulate-hover-in-jquery) – Jack Feb 20 '18 at 13:43

Try if changing the code like this helps:

Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.moveToElement(element).moveToElement( driver.findElement(By.linkText("All Actions"))).click().build().perform();
