Drag and drop about splinter HOT 8 CLOSED

It seems that it'd be something like this:

from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains

def drag_and_drop(self, source, target):
    element = driver.find_element_by_name(source)
    target = driver.find_element_by_name(target)

    action_chains = ActionChains(self.driver)
    action_chains.drag_and_drop(element, target)

I wish I'd have my notebook now and time to commit this. @FranciscoSouza , can you help me on this?
Maybe I'll have on weekend.

I'd prefer a method on Element:

browser.find_by_id('item').first.drag_to(target)

What do you think?

Down the ramp, I wonder this as follows:

from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains

class BaseWebDriver(DriverAPI):
    ....
    def __init__(self, wait_time=2):
        self.wait_time = wait_time
        self.capabilities = ActionChains(self.driver)

(this, given that BaseWebDriver is only used for inheritance and the super method is only called at the end of __init__ method)

And then, when you want some capability, just do (for example):

....
browser.capabilities.drag_and_drop(source, target)

What you all think?

I think that element should be responsible for drag yourself. Then, I like the syntax below for this:

element.drag_and_drop_to(target)

What you all think?

+1

+1, and kind of work even with what @FranciscoSouza put. Both are nice approaches, as the drag_and_drop_to would be present also on the element returned from browser.find_by_id('item').first. Congratulations.

For this, we're going to use ActionChains, and Firefox doesn't support ActionChains yet (on Mac OS).
