Double Click action is a frequently used by user. The most common use of double click happens in File Explorer. Let’s consider on any Web Page, there might be some elements that require a double click to invoke an action on them. As earlier discussed we know that in Selenium there is no WebDriver API command which has the capability to double click on the WebElement.
Hence, the Action class method doubleClick(WebElement) is required to be used to perform this user action.
Manual Actions:
- Launch the web browser and open the application
- Find the required element and do double click on the element
- Close the browser

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
// Open the required URL
driver.get("https://api.jquery.com/dblclick/");
// As per the above URL we need to switch to frame. The targeted element is in the frame
driver.switchTo().frame(0);
// Create the object 'actions' of Actions class
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
//Find the targeted element
WebElement doubleClickElement = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("html>body>div"));
// Here I used JavascriptExecutor interface to scroll down to the targeted element
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", doubleClickElement); // Scroll to the element
// used doubleClick(element) method to do double click action
action.doubleClick(doubleClickElement).build().perform();
// Once clicked on the element, the color of element is changed to yellow color from blue color
Thread.sleep(3000);
driver.close();
}
}
