Selenium Webdriver - Double Click

Selenium can perform mouse movements, key press, hovering on an element, double click, drag and drop actions, and so on with the help of the ActionsChains class. The method double_click performs double-click on an element.

The syntax for using the double click is as follows:

double_click(e=None)

Here, e is the element to be double-clicked. If None is mentioned, the click is performed on the present mouse position. We have to add the statement from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains to work with the ActionChains class.

Let us perform the double click on the below element −

Controls

In the above image, it is seen that on double clicking the Double Click me! button, an alert box gets generated.

Code Implementation

The code implementation for using the double click is as follows −

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.common.alert import Alert
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='../drivers/chromedriver')
#implicit wait time
driver.implicitly_wait(5)
#url launch
driver.get("http://www.uitestpractice.com/Students/Actions")
#identify element
s = driver.find_element_by_name("dblClick")
#object of ActionChains
a = ActionChains(driver)
#right click then perform
a.double_click(s).perform()
#switch to alert
alrt = Alert(driver)
# get alert text
print(alrt.text)
#accept alert
alrt.accept()
#driver quit
driver.quit()

Output

Process Finished

The output shows the message - Process with exit code 0 meaning that the above Python code executed successfully. Also, the Alert text - Double Clicked! gets printed in the console. The Alert got generated by double clicking the Double Click me! button.
