SELENIUM ToolTip in selenium using Java with Example

ToolTip in Selenium:

Tooltips are displayed when you roll on an icon with the cursor.

Tooltips are displayed automatically when users hover the pointer over an object, and are removed when users click on control or move the mouse, or when tip times out.

The tooltip is a text that appears when a mouse hovers over an object like a link, an image, a button, text area, etc. in a web page.

Scenario’s to Handle Tooltip in Selenium:

Create Instance / Object of Action Class to perform moveToElement operation.

findElement and store into WebElement.

Using Action Class Move to Element to Handle ToolTip using moveToElement Method.

GetText of WebElement using getText() Method and Store into String.

Print ToolTip string.

// Create action class object
Actions builder = new Actions(driver);

// find the tooltip xpath
WebElement Del_btn_tooltip = driver.findElement(By.xpath("btn_delete"));

// Mouse hover to that text message
builder.moveToElement(Del_btn_tooltip).perform();

// Extract text from tooltip
String tooltip_msg = Del_btn_tooltip.getText();

// Print the tooltip message just for our refrences
System.out.println("Tooltip/ Help message is " + tooltip_msg);

// Create action class object

Actions builder = new Actions(driver);

// find the tooltip xpath

WebElement Del_btn_tooltip = driver.findElement(By.xpath("btn_delete"));

// Mouse hover to that text message

builder.moveToElement(Del_btn_tooltip).perform();

// Extract text from tooltip

String tooltip_msg = Del_btn_tooltip.getText();

// Print the tooltip message just for our refrences

System.out.println("Tooltip/ Help message is " + tooltip_msg);

Step’s to Handle ToolTip in Selenium using Action Class:

setProperty to Launch geckodriver (Firefox).

Create driver Instance / Object of WebDriver.

Using get() Method open URL.

Create Action Class Object to Handle moveToElement.

findElement and Store into WebElement.

Perform moveToElement() Method to handle Hover ToolTip.

GetText of ToolTip and Store into String and Print.

Example of Get ToolTip Using Actions class:

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;

public class Tool_Tip {

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","D:\\geckodriver.exe");

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

driver.get("https://www.stqatools.com");

// Create action class object
Actions builder = new Actions(driver);

// find the tooltip xpath
WebElement Del_btn_tooltip = driver.findElement(By.xpath("btn_delete"));

// Mouse hover to that text message
builder.moveToElement(Del_btn_tooltip).perform();

// Extract text from tooltip
String tooltip_msg = Del_btn_tooltip.getText();

// Print the tooltip message just for our refrences
System.out.println("Tooltip/ Help message is " + tooltip_msg);

}

}

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;

public class Tool_Tip {

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","D:\\geckodriver.exe");

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

driver.get("https://www.stqatools.com");
