[Selenium + Java]: How to handle tooltip on onmouseover?

Question

The test case is to check if the tooltip message shows.

My html code is as:

<td id="pendingBalance" align="right">
<a onmouseover="displayHelpPopup(this,arrHelp[20][0]);" onmouseout="closePopup();" href="#">
<span class="BoldFont">$0.00</span>

When user moves mouse to $0.00 then tooltip shows some text.

Please help me with the solution to check that the tooltip is displaying with the correct message.

Answer 1

You have to mouseOver to $0.00. 1) If you need click, perform click and find the tooltip.

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
   actions.moveToElement(driver
                .findElement(By.xpath("//span[contains(text(),'0.00')]")));
    actions.perform();
    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    actions.click().build().perform();
    WebElement element=driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath of your tooltip")));
    element.click();

2) Else directly find the tooltip.

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
   actions.moveToElement(driver
                .findElement(By.xpath("//span[contains(text(),'0.00')]")));
    actions.perform();
    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    WebElement element=driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath of your tooltip")));
    element.click();

Answer 2

Tooltip is your example is triggered by javascript code. To automate this process you have to move to the element containign the tooltip text and execute its javascript code:

locate the element:

    WebElement link = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#pendingBalance > a"));

perform an action that moves to the element:

    Actions action = new Actions(driver);
    action.moveToElement(link).perform();

execute javascript function 'onmouseover':

    JavascriptExecutor js =  (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
    js.executeScript("arguments[0].onmouseover()", link);

Answer 3

Try this piece of code:

Actions driver = new Actions(driver)  
driver.moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[contains(text(),'$0.00')]"))).build().perform();
