Handling menu & Sub-Menu’s in Selenium

Handling menu & Sub-Menu’s in Selenium Using Actions Class

In this Topic I am going to explain how we can navigate to Menus’ and SubMenus and perform actions using the Action Class.

Let us suppose, we want to click T-Shirts under the Mens Section on Flipkart.com, for that I have to do below steps:

• Open Flipkart.com
• Move the mouse to Men’s on Toolbar (Make note that we don’t click here, the submenu opens on hover automatically)
• Click on T-Shirt

For above , you will need xpath of Mens (Main Menu) & t-Shirt (Sub-menu)

Below is the sample code using Actions Class.

public static void main (String args[]) throws InterruptedException{

             

              WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

              driver.get("http://flipkart.com");

             

              //Save the Xpaths in a String

             

              String Menu = "//*[@id='fk-mainhead-id']/div[2]/div/div[1]/ul/li[3]";

              String SubMenu = "//*[@id='menu-men-tab-0-content']/ul[2]/li[3]/a";

             

              WebElement menu = driver.findElement(By.xpath(Menu));

              WebElement submenu = driver.findElement(By.xpath(SubMenu));

             

              Actions action = new Actions(driver);

              action.moveToElement(menu).perform();

              Thread.sleep(2000L);

              submenu.click();

             

             

       }
