Selenium Java - Actions Class

Given the following code snippet, what will be the result after execution?

WebElement source = driver.findElement(By.id("item1"));
WebElement target = driver.findElement(By.id("box1"));
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.clickAndHold(source).moveToElement(target).release().perform();
String text = target.getText();

If the drag and drop is successful, what should text contain?

ANull value

BAn empty string

CThe text of the dragged element (item1)

DThe text of the target element before drag

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand the drag and drop effect
Dragging source onto target usually moves or copies the source element's content into the target area.
Step 2: Check what target.getText() returns after drop
After a successful drop, the target element's text usually remains unchanged unless the page's DOM is updated by JavaScript. The getText() method returns the visible text of the target element, which typically does not change automatically after drag and drop.
Final Answer:
The text of the target element before drag -> Option D
Quick Check:
target.getText() usually unchanged after drag and drop unless DOM updates [OK]

Quick Trick: After drop, target text usually remains the same unless DOM updates [OK]
