Using 'click' which clicks but does not release the hold properly.

Using 'double_click' which clicks twice.

Fix the error in the code to correctly perform click and hold on an element located by CSS selector.

Selenium Python

element = driver.find_element(By.[1], '#drag')
actions = ActionChains(driver)

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using camelCase like 'cssSelector' which is invalid in Selenium Python.

Using uppercase 'CSS' which is not recognized.

Using 'css' which is incomplete.

The correct locator strategy in Selenium Python is css_selector (all lowercase with underscore).

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a drag and drop action using click and hold, move to element, and release.

Selenium Python

source = driver.find_element(By.ID, 'source')
target = driver.find_element(By.ID, 'target')
actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.[1](source).[2](target).release().perform()

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'click' instead of 'click_and_hold' which does not hold the mouse button.

Using 'context_click' which right-clicks instead of dragging.

Not moving to the target element before releasing.

Drag and drop requires click_and_hold on source, then move_to_element to target, then release.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a test that clicks and holds an element, waits 2 seconds, then releases.

Selenium Python

import time

button = driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, '[1]')
actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.[2](button).perform()
time.[3](2)
actions.release().perform()

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'click' instead of 'click_and_hold' which does not hold the mouse button.

Using wrong class name or locator.

Not waiting before releasing.

The element is found by class name 'clickable-button'. Then click_and_hold is used to hold the click. time.sleep(2) waits 2 seconds before releasing.
