Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to create an Actions object for complex gestures.

Selenium Java

CWebDriver

DRobot

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'Action' instead of 'Actions' causes a compilation error.

Using 'Robot' is unrelated to Selenium's Actions API.

The Actions class is used to build complex user gestures in Selenium WebDriver.

medium

Complete the code to perform a double click using Actions API.

Selenium Java

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.[1](element).perform();

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using click() performs a single click, not double.

Using contextClick() performs a right-click.

The doubleClick() method performs a double click on the specified element.

hard

Fix the error in the code to drag and drop an element using Actions API.

Selenium Java

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.dragAndDrop(source, [1]).perform();

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Ctarget

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'driver' instead of an element causes a compile-time error.

Using 'element' or 'destination' may not match the variable name.

The dragAndDrop() method requires source and target elements; 'target' is the correct parameter name.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to build and perform a click-and-hold followed by release on an element.

Selenium Java

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.[1](element).[2]().perform();

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

AclickAndHold

Cclick

DdoubleClick

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using click() instead of clickAndHold() does not hold the mouse button.

Omitting release() causes the mouse button to stay pressed.

clickAndHold() presses mouse button down; release() releases it, completing the gesture.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to build a sequence: move to element, click, then send keys.

Selenium Java

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.[1](element).[2]().sendKeys([3]).perform();

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

AmoveToElement

Bclick

C"Hello"

DdoubleClick

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using doubleClick() instead of click() changes the gesture.

Not quoting the string in sendKeys causes syntax errors.

moveToElement() moves mouse, click() clicks, sendKeys("Hello") types text.
