Click offset doesn't work as mentioned in documentation

[elwin.poelhekken]

In the documentation of the click offset it says:
Click on the given element with the relative position (x, y) from the top-left corner of that element.

So according this example click offset (0,0) should be in the top left corner. But when you use the example code of the click offset it seems like it starts in the middle. The example explains it should click in the upper left box of the tic-tac-toe, instead it clicks in the bottom right box.

We experience the same issues with our elements. We want to click on the left side of our element, to do so we have to use negative coordinates.

Our code for click offset:
WebUI.clickOffset(findTestObject(‘object’), -25, 0)

If you enter this into your dev tools console it will give you the x and y of each element on your web page. You then should be able to put those co-ordinates into the clickOffset keyword as expected.

document.onmousemove = function(e){
var x = e.pageX;
var y = e.pageY;
e.target.title = "X is "+x+" and Y is "+y;
};

http://forum.katalon.com/u/elwin.poelhekken Thank you for posting this clarification. It doesn’t even require a “fix” for the keyword by Katalon, simply a correction to the documentation. My team was wrestling with this and beginning to figure it out, but your post definitely confirmed our suspicions.

the clickOffset of katalon click on the center of the element (there were an update regarding selenium “moveToElement”. I find a work around using selenium to click on top left element as before. Add a keyword on katalon using the code below :
(first keyword for right click and second keyword is for simple click)

        def RightClick (xpath, int getTopLeftX,int getTopLeftY) {

        def Click (xpath,int getTopLeftX,int getTopLeftY) {

  Actions actions = new Actions(driver)

the online doc is saying from center, but in Katalon studio it says

Maybe this should be updated. Been quite confuse, but at least the log informed me that the it’s from the center

INFO: When using the W3C Action commands, offsets are from the center of element
