Simulating mouse movement and dragging in a UWP application using Appium can be achieved using the following steps:
Install the necessary packages:
- Appium.WebDriver
- Appium.WebDriver.Extensions
Set up the Appium driver in your test script:
csharpusing OpenQA.Selenium.Appium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Appium.Windows;
// Set the Appium driver capabilities
var appiumOptions = new AppiumOptions();
appiumOptions.AddAdditionalCapability("app", "YourUWPAppId");
// Set other desired capabilities
// Create the Appium driver instance
var driver = new WindowsDriver<WindowsElement>(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), appiumOptions);
Simulate mouse movement:
csharpusing OpenQA.Selenium.Appium.Windows.Extensions;
// Get the target element
var element = driver.FindElementByAccessibilityId("YourElementId");
// Move the mouse to the center of the element
element.MoveMouseToCenter();
Simulate mouse dragging:
csharpusing OpenQA.Selenium.Appium.Windows.Extensions;
// Get the source and target elements
var sourceElement = driver.FindElementByAccessibilityId("YourSourceElementId");
var targetElement = driver.FindElementByAccessibilityId("YourTargetElementId");
// Drag the source element to the target element
sourceElement.DragAndDropTo(targetElement);
Ensure that you have the necessary accessibility IDs or other identification methods to locate the elements you want to interact with. You can use tools like the Windows Accessibility Inspector to find the accessibility IDs of UI elements in your UWP application.
Make sure to adapt the code snippets to your specific application and test scenario.
