Click and hold down mouse button?

Hi,

so is there an option to click and hold down the left mouse button for a specific amount of seconds? Not drag and drop, since it’s not supposed to move.
I have to scroll into an element of an web application. MouseWheelEvents or sth like that don’t work for me in this case and for zooming with the ‘lens’-symbol i need to click and hold down the mouse button for a bit longer.

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

I found a work-around for my specific case.
So for me it can be closed, even if there’s still no solution for click & hold action.

@“lukas krombholz” can you share your solution, as I am facing the similar issue like in below gif.

@uday kiran reddy
sorry for the late answer. I also did not find a solution and just used another way leaving this specific key untested. But I saw you already opened a new post with your problem, so I hope you find a solution.

Hi all,

Yes it is possible to click and hold down your mouse for a specific amount of time:

import static com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ObjectRepository.findTestObject
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver as WebDriver

WebDriver driver = DriverFactory.getWebDriver()
Actions builder = new Actions(driver)
WebElement sourceElement = WebUiCommonHelper.findWebElement(findTestObject('/your/source/test/object'), 20)
WebElement destElement = WebUiCommonHelper.findWebElement(findTestObject('/your/destination/test/object'), 20)
builder.clickAndHold(sourceElement)
WebUI.delay(5)
builder.moveToElement(destElement).release().build().perform()

Is there an updated solution for this? The above code is not working for me.

Hi, I have just discovered this issue.
I was trying to click and hold a button during some seconds and release then.
