Selenium Tooltip Mouseover Example

Tooltip

Tooltip is de facto standard nowadays for information sharing in web pages. In Selenium automation activities, we often encounter a scenario to verify tooltip text. So in this tutorial, we will see Selenium tooltip mouseover scenario to verify tooltip text. We will use Java in our example of verifying Google logo’s tooltip.

Tooltip appears on hovering mouse over any element. To simulate this scenario, we will be using Actions Interface of Java. Follow below steps to implement the Selenium tooltip verification.

• Declare an object of Actions class using below code.
  
  Actions ToolTip1 = new Actions(driver);

  1	Actions ToolTip1 = new Actions(driver);

• Locate Google logo.
  
  WebElement googleLogo = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id='hplogo']"));

  1	WebElement googleLogo = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id='hplogo']"));

• Use ‘clickAndHold’ method of Actions class to simulate mouse hover action on Google logo.
  
  ToolTip1.clickAndHold(googleLogo).perform();

  1	ToolTip1.clickAndHold(googleLogo).perform();

• Get tooltip value using ‘getAttribute’ command.
  
  String ToolTipText = googleLogo.getAttribute("title");

  1	String ToolTipText = googleLogo.getAttribute("title");

• After performing all above steps, your tooltip verification method should be displayed as below.
  
  public void GoogleTooltip() throws Exception { Actions ToolTip1 = new Actions(driver); WebElement googleLogo = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id='hplogo']")); ToolTip1.clickAndHold(googleLogo).perform(); // Perform mouse hover action using 'clickAndHold' method String ToolTipText = googleLogo.getAttribute("title"); // Get the value of Tooltip by getAttribute command Assert.assertEquals(ToolTipText, "Google"); System.out.println("Tooltip value is: " + ToolTipText); }

  public void GoogleTooltip() throws Exception { Actions ToolTip1 = new Actions(driver); WebElement googleLogo = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id='hplogo']")); ToolTip1.clickAndHold(googleLogo).perform(); // Perform mouse hover action using 'clickAndHold' method String ToolTipText = googleLogo.getAttribute("title"); // Get the value of Tooltip by getAttribute command Assert.assertEquals(ToolTipText, "Google"); System.out.println("Tooltip value is: " + ToolTipText); }

• Run your Selenium test.

We hope the above example of Selenium tooltip mouseover scenario would be helpful in your automation activities. Let us know how it goes for you in comments.
