Thanks you.

I studied the approach and I wrote a simular module, but it does not require jQuery.
https://github.com/Kuniwak/html-dnd

It can work on no-jQuery environments.

I want to drag and drop using Selenium C#. Not able to do it through actions class. Please any1 provide javascript and how to use it for selenium C#

myerramalli · 2016-04-20T00:32:35Z

I am not able to execute the java script. I am using Java and JUnit and to execute the script I am using the following code :
//Drag 1st control to layout
String js_filepath = ;
String java_script="";
String text;

BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(js_filepath));
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();

while ((text = input.readLine()) != null)
    buffer.append(text + " ");
    java_script = buffer.toString();

input.close();

String source = "<source id>";
String target = "<target id>";
java_script = java_script+"$('#"+source+"').simulate( '#" +target+ "');" ;
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript(java_script);

I am getting the following error :
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: Runtime.evaluate threw exception: SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input

How can I solve this issue

sampathgoud42 · 2016-05-05T10:10:21Z

Thanks a bunch for the information.

I just want to know how to implement for xpath selectors for source and target?

Thank you!

Thank you a lot!

Using this to test HTML5 D&D by executing it in Selenium for Ruby.

Ranjeet-Naidu · 2016-06-14T09:33:44Z

This works great when you have a drop zone. I am trying to implement this on a list of draggable items with no luck. Is there a way to dispatch the 'drag' event with x, y coordinates?

joankaradimov · 2016-09-15T15:00:28Z

I've tried using this with a library called ember-drag-drop. Everything works great in general, but for some specific cases the library in question relies on the dragover event. I've added handling for it here:

Anyone have any insight into the issue? Note: it worked fine just two weeks ago.

Cst2989 · 2017-05-16T11:04:37Z

Hello, I used your script to make drag and drop work in codeception using webdriver. For anyone who was having the same problem, this is what I did:

Created a file dnd.js Added in the file the entire jquery library.(my app is in angular2 so it doesn't have jQuery). At the end of the app added This simulatedraganddrop js. And at the end end added jQuery('#style-0').simulateDragDrop({ dropTarget: '#dd-top'});

And in codeception:
$this->executeInSelenium(function(\Facebook\WebDriver\Remote\RemoteWebDriver $webdriver) { $script = file_get_contents('/Users/neciudan/Desktop/apps/codeception/tests/_support/Page/dnd.js'); $webdriver->executeScript($script); }); $this->wait(10);

Hope this helps other people who couldn't figure this out in Codeception.

Hi All,
I am also facing the same issue. Unable to perform drag and drop operation using protractor on HTML 5 application.

I am using typescript as a language. Please suggest how to use above solution in my case i.e. in typescript. Anyone used above solution if yes then please let me know is that working or not.

Thanks in advance.

    //Drag 1st control to layout

I found the following solution worked without jquery for http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/drag_and_drop https://gist.github.com/reinaldorossetti/074642e9f954b7119c557748836fcd42

Poncheqa · 2020-01-30T19:36:08Z

Thank you a lot!

I worked as follows in java:

  String filePath = "C://drag_and_drop_helper.js";
  StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();

  String line;
  BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filePath));
  while((line = br.readLine())!=null)
      buffer.append(line);

  String javaScript = buffer.toString();
  javaScript = javaScript + "$('#column-a').simulateDragDrop({ dropTarget: '#column-b'});";
  ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript(javaScript);

Remember that JQuery uses CSS-like syntax. Xpath won't work in this case. If you must use Xpath, you will have to convert the Xpath string to CSS before you append it into this JQuery string:


      Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("'(.*?)'");
  Matcher matcherSource = pattern.matcher("//div[@id='column-a']");

  Matcher matcherTarget = pattern.matcher("//div[@id='column-b']");
  String cssSource = "#" + matcherSource.group(1);

  String cssTarget = "#" + matcherTarget.group(1);
  javaScript = javaScript + "$('" + cssSource + "').simulateDragDrop({ dropTarget: '" + cssTarget + "'});";

Hi, for all of you who search how to drag and drop element found by XPath: https://sudonull.com/post/3102-How-we-tested-drag-drop-in-HTML5 . I did it in C#, Selenium Web Driver and worked perfect. Note that only the first element is searched by Xpath and the second by css.

rookieInTraining · 2021-06-09T18:33:39Z

@Rameshwar-Juptimath - You're using an incorrect css selector in either your source or target. You'll need to change the code to :

Old :

java_script = java_script + "$('#" + source + "').simulate( '#" + target + "');";

New :

java_script = java_script + "$('" + source + "').simulate( '" + target + "');";
