Hi all,
I'm writing integration tests for the patch fixing
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XABLOG-99. In particular, I want to
test adding, renaming and deleting of blog categories from
Blog/ManageCategories page.
My problem is that the "toolbox" with rename and delete buttons is only
displayed on hover, and selenium complains that it cannot access
invisible elements.
I tried to use RenderedWebElement.hover() as follows:
By locator = By.xpath("//a[contains(@href, \""
+ name +
"\")]/ancestor::span[@class='blog-category-level']");
RenderedWebElement category
= (RenderedWebElement) getDriver().findElement(locator);
category.hover();
but the n I get error "Unable to hover over element".
Does anybody knows how to show these delete buttons?
I'm using FF 3.6 on Linux.
Thanks,
Alex

In case somebody is interested, I found a workaround on selenium mailing
list. The trick is to execute some JavaScript that does what is needed,
in my case just shows the element.
By locator = By.xpath("//a[contains(@href, '" + name
+ "')]/ancestor::span[@class='blog-category-level']"
+ "//span[@class='blog-category-tools']");
WebElement category = getDriver().findElement(locator);
if (getDriver() instanceof JavascriptExecutor) {
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) getDriver();
// instead of hovering, just show the toolbox
js.executeScript("arguments[0].style.visibility='visible'",
category);
}

Hi Alex,
We could add a helper method for this situation in BasePage, with a
signature like:
void makeElementVisible(By locator);
Do you know if their is an issue in their tracker for this ? If they have
plans to support it in the future?
Regards,
Jerome

That would be nice, there are many places where control elements are
hidden like this.

You mean to make elements visible? I don't think they will ever support
that, they always say that selenium tries to emulate user behavior, and
users can't just show invisible elements.
There is no issue about hovering neither, but it looks like one month
ago it was not yet implemented at all.
