Handling "drag and drop" actions using WebDriver(Selenium 2)

Automating rich web application is even more interesting since it involves advanced user interactions.

Say we have a web application which drag an item from one location and then drop it at another location.These kind of drag and drops are cant be automated with one single statement .In WebDriver we have a separatae "Actions" class to handle advanced user interactions(say drag and drop) on web page.

Here is the documentation on how to automate advanced user interactions :
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/AdvancedUserInteractions

Here is the sample code using TestNG framework

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxProfile;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Action;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class draganddrop {
 
 WebDriver driver;
 
 @BeforeTest
 public void start(){
  FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
  profile.setEnableNativeEvents(true);
  driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
 }

 @Test
 public void start1(){
  driver.get("http://jqueryui.com/droppable/");
  driver.switchTo().frame(0);  
  driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
  WebElement dragElement=driver.findElement(By.id("draggable"));
  WebElement dropElement=driver.findElement(By.id("droppable"));
    
  Actions builder = new Actions(driver);  // Configure the Action
  Action dragAndDrop = builder.clickAndHold(dragElement)
    .moveToElement(dropElement)
    .release(dropElement)
    .build();  // Get the action
    dragAndDrop.perform(); // Execute the Action
 }
}

Checking the Web Page load time using WebDriver

Most of the time we would like to check the performance of site like the page load time. But in WebDriver we don't have any direct method to do this. So here is the sample code to achieve this using TestNG framework:

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxProfile;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class CheckPageLoadTime{
 
 WebDriver driver;
 
 @BeforeTest
 public void start(){ 
  driver = new FirefoxDriver();
 }
 
 @Test
 public void LoadTime(){
  
 long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis()/1000;
 System.out.println("The startTime is "+startTime);
 //Set the acceptable Page load time to 60 sec
 driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS); 
 driver.get("http://google.com/");  
 WebElement search = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
 //Iterate through the loop as long as time(60sec) is with in the acceptable Page load time
 while(((System.currentTimeMillis()/1000)-startTime)<60){
         if(search.isDisplayed()){
  long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis()/1000;
  System.out.println("The endTime is "+endTime);
  long loadTime = endTime - startTime;
  System.out.println("Totaltime: " +loadTime + " seconds"); 
      break;
  }  
   }     
     }
    
}

Here is the output of above program(It may vary for you)

The startTime is 1338712185
The endTime is 1338712215
Totaltime: 30 seconds
