Unfortunately, Protractor does not support MouseMove in Firefox browser

I'm fairly new to using protractor and selenium. I've been attempting to replicate the mouse hover action on a button and retrieve values like the position of the mouse pointer and background colors. When I use mousemove, it works perfectly in Chrome but fails when I switch the browser to Firefox. It seems like the webdriver doesn't support this feature for some reason.

it('Mouse cursor should change to hand pointer', function() {   
  browser.get('URL');
  var search = element(by.buttonText('SEARCH'));
  browser.actions().mouseMove(search).perform();
  expect(search.getCssValue("cursor")).toEqual('pointer');
});

When running this code on Firefox, I encounter the following error:

Message:
 Failed: mouseMoveTo
 Build info: version: '3.1.0',                 
 java.version: '1.8.0_121'
 Driver info: driver.version: RemoteWebDriver  
Stack:  
 UnsupportedOperationError: mouseMoveTo

If anyone has any insights or solutions to offer, I would greatly appreciate it.

Answer №1

mouseMove is working perfectly for me. It seems like you may be experiencing an issue with the combination of 

Firefox Version - gecko driver version - Protractor Version
. I recommend updating all three components to the latest available versions.

I have tested with the following combination and everything is functioning correctly:

  • geckodriver-v0.9.0
  • Firefox - 45.0
  • Protractor - Version 4.0.10

Answer №2

I encountered a similar issue recently that seems to be linked to the updates in selenium 3.1.0 (after migrating from version 2.53.1).

(node:8989) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Promise rejection not handled (rejection id: 1): UnsupportedOperationError: mouseMoveTo
