doubleClick(clickable): does not double click the found element

[rscwcd]

Hi,

We upgraded our system to use Gecko Driver(Version geckodriver-v0.16.1-win64) along with Selenium Web Driver(3.4.0) and FF 53.0. A feature called "Double Click" in our project is not working. We tried many different techniques but till now there is no success in hand. Also, we are not getting any error out of that. Below are the code that we are using to do so :

protected T double_click(By locator) {
WebElement clickable = findElement(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(locator));
new Actions(driver).moveToElement(clickable).doubleClick(clickable).perform();
return me();
}

The above method is 👎

1. Able to find the element
2. Able to click on the element
3. Not able to generate double click event.
4. Rest other tests gets fail
   The failure is not specific to any event or project but to all. Please advise.

Also, the classes related to double click in Selenium 3.4.0 is showing deprecated. Could you please let us know the next option we have to use these features ?

@lmtierney : Hi, Thanks for suggestion, but I didn't find any appropriate answer from the link you shared. Everyone is closing the issue without checking or sharing any appropriate solution for the issue.

Can't understand how busy you guy's are to share the link without checking it for the proper solution.

There is no solution at this time, that is why there is an issue created. Sometimes, there isn't an available solution for a problem, which is why they are entered as issues that need to be fixed

Below solution worked for me.

To DoubleClick an Element

public void doubleClick(WebElement webElement) {

//For FF browser.
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("var evt = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');" + "evt.initMouseEvent('dblclick',true, true, window, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, false, false, false, false, 0,null);" + "arguments[0].dispatchEvent(evt);",webElement);

//For IE

//((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].fireEvent('ondblclick');", webElement);

}
