Build Status

Backwards-compatible W3C WebDriver Actions API commands.

Important: This is still a WIP. Most actions are not implemented yet.

As of December 2017 the Actions API is only implemented in geckodriver.

This module takes a series of Actions API compatible actions and transforms them to backwards-compatible WebDriver commands that work with current versions of chromedriver and safaridriver - where possible.

This should become obsolete as soon as all modern browser web-drivers support the Actions API.

You can track chromedriver's progress here.

Usage

$ npm i --save webdriver-actions
const WebdriverActions = require('webdriver-actions')

// - 1st argument, an object containing W3C Actions
// - 2nd argument, the active element ID - will be used to dispatch keyboard
//   values
const commands = WebdriverActions.transform([
  {
    type: 'key',
    id: 'keyboard_1',
    actions: [
      { type: 'keyDown', value: '\uE00C' },
      { type: 'keyUp', value: '\uE00C' }
    ]
  },
  {
     type: 'pointer',
     id: 'pointer_1',
     parameters: { pointerType : 'mouse' },
     actions: [
       { type: 'pointerMove', 'duration': 0, x: 100, y: 100 },
       { type: 'pointerUp', 'button': 0 },
       { type: 'pointerDown', 'button': 0 }
     ]
   }
], { activeElementId: 'foo-active-element-id'})

console.log(commands)
