Double Click not working

[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.

@andreastt : Hi, yes,this issue is duplicate of many others issues in the forum but I did't find any appropriate solution for this over there. Request you to let us know the exact actions that can be taken to get out of this.

@rscwcd I haven’t had time to look into it yet.

[rscwcd]

Okay. Please look into it whenever you get time, but i saw this issue has already been closed by you.

@andreastt : Hi, did you get time to look for this issue ? This is show stopper for our project.

@rscwcd I haven’t had time to look into #661 yet.

@rscwcd I have met the same issue like you. You can use javascript to work around. Below are the Python script that I did:

executeScript = "var event = new MouseEvent('dblclick', {'view': window,'bubbles': true,'cancelable': true});document.evaluate("" + XPATH_VARIABLE + "", document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue.dispatchEvent(event);"

driver.execute_script(executeScript)

====
XPATH_VARIABLE <= the element's xpath

Hope this helps!

@vinhtc2000 are you sure that code is working? I have tried very similar code with different kind of MouseEvent - "mouseover", "mouseenter" and "mousemove" and it is not working, because this dispatched event has set isTrusted set as false. In this case a lot of JS functionality on web doesn't work. Do you have any solution how to start Firefox without checking of isTrusted flag?

[vinhtc2000]

@CDJojn I had not meet the same with your issue. My script works fine until now. I'm using:

• Firefox 53.0.3 (32 bit)
• Selenium 3.3.x
• Python 2.7.3

In case there is any helpful information please add it to issue #661. It's not helpful to have to maintain two issues which handle the same topic.

To prevent more me too comments, I will lock down this one now. Thanks.
