Double Click via an Extension in Virtuoso

Article Overview:

This article will cover how you can achieve the following:

Perform a double-click action on an element using a custom extension when the native mouse double-click NLP is not compatible with the AUT (Application Under Test).

Problem Statement:

If the Native Mouse double-click NLP in Virtuoso is not compatible with the AUT, making it difficult to perform a double-click action during test execution.

Solution:

1. Using Virtuoso's Native Mouse Action NLP: The standard command to perform mouse actions in Virtuoso is:
   
   mouse double click "Element"
   
   If the AUT supports this command, it will execute the double-click action on the specified element.
   

2. Custom Extension for Double Click Action: If the native double-click NLP is incompatible, you can use the following custom JavaScript extension to simulate the double-click action:
   
   

function doubleClickElementByXPath(xpath) {

    const element = document.evaluate(xpath, document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue;

    if (element) {

        const event = new MouseEvent('dblclick', {

            bubbles: true,

            cancelable: true,

            view: window

        });

        element.dispatchEvent(event);

    } else {

        console.error('Element not found for the provided XPath.');

    }

}

// Usage example:

//const xpath = '//tr//td[text()=" CBRE, Inc.       "]'; // Replace with your element's XPath

return doubleClickElementByXPath(xpath)

1. Usage:

   • Step 1: Identify the XPath of the element you wish to double-click on.
   • Step 2: Pass the XPath into the code using the extension parameter doubleClick (xpath).
   • Step 3: Call the doubleClick extension into the journey to perform the double-click action.
