Im using ActionChains from selenium webdriver to click on particular spot on the canvas. First time it works, but second, it throw an exception:
actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.move_by_offset(650,500).click().perform()
time.sleep(2)
actions.move_by_offset(700,500).click().perform()
even if I change the values in second move_by_offset to (0,0) it gives an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/*****1.py", line 55, in <module>
actions.move_by_offset(700,500).click().perform()

raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.MoveTargetOutOfBoundsException: Message: move target out of bounds
(Session info: chrome=84.0.4147.89)
PLEASE NOTE: the place I'm clicking on is a canvas - I can't even get a menu on it when rightmouse button is pressed. Does the issue have something to do that this canvas gets focus from webdriver?
There are 2 issues here: you need to reser actions with
actions.reset_actions()
the mouse moves from the last point, so giving values of (700,500) moved it outside of the screen = exception Here is the working code:
actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.move_by_offset(650,500).click().perform()
actions.reset_actions()
actions.move_by_offset(80,0).click().perform()
