Just want to set a mouse click at specific coordinates on page. How do I do this?

There is the command, `WebUI.clickOffset(testObject TO, int x offset, int y offset)`. You can make some formula to calculate where you **are** to where you want to click. You can use `WebUI.findWebElement(testObject)` to get a WebElement that can get your current position.

```auto
myItem = WebUI.findWebElement(testObject, 10)
WebUI.comment("Current position is ${myItem.getLocation().getX().toString()} and ${myItem.getLocation().getY().toString()}")

```

I have tried the following `WebUI.clickOffset(findTestObject('Object Repository/Button Layers/Layer Views Location Option (Main Building)'),1515 , 445, FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE)` but it seems judging by the output I have to click on an object for this to work, and that is the whole issue I need to click off of an object.

Ooops. The statement `WebUI.findWebElement(testObject, 10)` wants a timeOut.

Yeah no such luck. Not sure as to the reason though. I know that this element exists I can use it and interact with it.

Even if I could just send a mouse click to like 2,2 would be useful. I just need to get out of the drawer I am in. Its a full screen overlay and it is making this much harder than it needs to be

For some reason, your TestObject is treated as a String. If the String is the xpath to your TestObject, then you can either go directly to creating a WebElement, such as:

```auto
webItem = driver.findElement(By.xpath('your xpath'))
WebUI.comment("Current position is ${webItem.getLocation().getX().toString()} and ${webItem.getLocation().getY().toString()}")

```

or creating a TestObject and then on to a WebElement.

```auto
xpath = 'your pathway String'
TestObject to = new TestObject(xpath)
to.addProperty("xpath", ConditionType.EQUALS, xpath)

myItem = WebUI.findWebElement(to, 10)
WebUI.comment("Current position is ${myItem.getLocation().getX().toString()} and ${myItem.getLocation().getY().toString()}")

```

I will give it a shot. BTW ever since you suggested this as a way to make TOs I have been using it non stop! Much quicker and way easier on the upkeep. Thank you 🙂

You probably need the import statements;

```auto
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.driver.DriverFactory as DriverFactory
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver as WebDriver
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement as WebElement

WebDriver driver = DriverFactory.getWebDriver();

```

You can get the import statements needed for your code by using: CTRL + SHIFT + O (oh).

Ok I have got it to get the coordinates by running the add.property.

```auto
LocationSelection='//mat-option[@id="mat-option-47"]/span'
TestObject to = new TestObject(LocationSelection)
to.addProperty("xpath",ConditionType.EQUALS,LocationSelection)
myItem = WebUI.findWebElement(to,10)
WebUI.comment("Current position is ${myItem.getLocation().getX()} and ${myItem.getLocation().getY()}")

```

So, if you want to click at location, (2, 2), then subtract the difference:

```auto
WebUI.clickOffset(findTestObject('Button Layers/Layer Views Location Option (Main Building)'), -1426 , -443, FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE)

```

It might be wise to create a formula of the current position’s X and Y, minus 2 from each, and then put the result in the clickOffset statement.

```auto
myItem = WebUI.findWebElement(to,10)
WebUI.comment("Current position is ${myItem.getLocation().getX()} and ${myItem.getLocation().getY()}")

xResult = myItem.getLocation().getX() - 2;
yResult = myItem.getLocation().getY() - 2;

WebUI.comment("Calculated amounts are: ${xResult.toString()} and ${yResult.toString()}")

WebUI.clickOffset(findTestObject('Button Layers/Layer Views Location Option (Main Building)'), -xResult, -yResult, FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE)
```

How about:

```
