I want to get the current mouse location after an action in Selenium (click, move, page reload etc). Is there any way to do it and return the values to Python?

  • Does this answer your question? [Selenium: get coordinates or dimensions of element with Python](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15510882/selenium-get-coordinates-or-dimensions-of-element-with-python) – vitaliis May 20 '21 at 01:02
  • @JoranBeasley - Although I can add JS to Selenium, I haven't found a way just yet to return the values on Event. When I tried, the variables returned undefined. – cristina_gatt May 20 '21 at 04:40
  • @vitaliis: I am not moving to an element, I am moving by offset without knowledge on which element I'm landing on. I know it's not the conventional way how Selenium is used but this is the way I have to use it for the sake of the problem being solved. – cristina_gatt May 20 '21 at 04:42
  • the answer is NO there is no way to get the currentMousePosition ... in theory you could make a `document.on('mousemove` listener and update some global javascript variable(but it will only do anything when the mouse actually moves which doesnt usually happen with a selenium script) ... but this sounds like an XY problem... why do you think you need to get the mouse position? – Joran Beasley May 20 '21 at 06:47
