Question

How can I handle/verify tooltip in Selenium Webdriver?

Answer 1

Hey Amardeep, tooltips are help or info boxes which pops up when you hover mouse on a web element. They are basically used to provide info or help about the specific webelement. You can handle such tooltips by following this code snippet:

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://forums.edureka.co");

     Actions builder = new Actions(driver);

     // find the tooltip xpath
     WebElement arrow_box_tooltip = driver.findElement(By.className("arrow_box"));

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

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

     // Print the tooltip message
     System.out.println("Tooltip/ Help message is " + tooltip_msg);
  }
}
