Selenium Webdriver Java: Unable to perform click operation by Actions in Chrome

I am using Selenium Webdriver(Java) for my Automation. For one of my use-case, I need to click based on co-ordinates. I am using following code to perform this operation:
Actions act = new Actions(driver);
act.moveByOffset(236, 92).click().perform();
Above code is working perfectly in Firefox(Gecko driver). But with Chrome driver, it is not working. Any idea?
Is there any other way to perform this.

I think you can try what Santosh has suggested
act.moveByOffset(236, 92).click().build().perform();
However, this should not make much of a difference as the perform() already contains the build action but this might be a workaround for your problem.

If you can locate the webelement, you can use JavaScript to perform the click this way:
JavaScriptExecutor js = (driver)JavaScriptExecutor;
js.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);

Actions Class in Selenium Webdriver

I am trying to perform the Control+A operation using the Actions class in Selenium using the following query:-
driver.get("https://jqueryui.com/datepicker/");
new Actions(driver).keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).sendKeys("a").keyUp(Keys.CONTROL)
.build().perform();
However , instead doing Control+A for the contents on the Webpage , it is performing the same operation in the URL bar. Could someone please let me know what is the error here.Moreover the issue what i see is the control stays in the URL bar and it doesnt come down to the Webpage.

I think there is an issue with pressing keys in selenium 3.0 which is reported here Actions sendKeys UnsupportedCommandException with geckodriver
You can try following alternative way to do that -
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//body")).sendKeys(Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL, "a"))

mouse hover is not working in safari ,selenium web driver

I used the Actions to mouse hover in FF and chrome , it is working fine. But the same code is not working in safari. I am using mac OS and selenium webdriver and java.
I tried below code.
new Actions(driver).moveToElement(element).build().perform();
JS:
String mouseOverScript = "if(document.createEvent){var evObj = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');evObj.initEvent('mouseover', true, false); arguments[0].dispatchEvent(evObj);} else if(document.createEventObject) { arguments[0].fireEvent('onmouseover');}";
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript(mouseOverScript, element);
It is a show stopper issue. any help is appreciated.

Performing mouse hovers requires using WebDriver's Advanced User Interactions API. In the Java language bindings, this is accomplished by the Actions class. Unfortunately, at present, the SafariDriver does not implement the Advanced User Interactions API, so you cannot accomplish this directly. Until it is implemented, you could probably simulate it using JavaScript to fire the events fired my a mouse hover.

WebDriver : SendKeys(Integer) NOT working in Firefox 29

I am using Firefox 29 and WebDriver java 2.41.0 bindings to automate test scenarios. Have one scenario to input an integer to a input-box which was working FINE with Firefox 28 and now failing with v29 i.e latest FF version. The code I wrote for the same is:
int inputString = 123456;
driver.FindElement(By.Id("tinymce")).SendKeys(inputString);
Please help me getting through of this.

This will be the result of this issue:
https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=7291
Fixed by this revision in the Selenium code:
https://code.google.com/p/selenium/source/detail?r=afde40cbbf5c

Quick test below worked for me. I understand JS is not the right way to do browser simulation, one should always FIRST use webdriver methods since they use browsers native api, but thought it would unblock you while the bug is fixed in selenium
DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
desiredCapabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.HAS_NATIVE_EVENTS,true);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(desiredCapabilities);
driver.get("http://yizeng.me/2014/01/31/test-wysiwyg-editors-using-selenium-webdriver/");
WebElement frame = driver.findElement(By.id("tinymce-editor_ifr"));
driver.switchTo().frame(frame);
WebElement body = driver.findElement(By.id("tinymce"));
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
js.executeScript("arguments[0].innerHTML = '<h1>Heading</h1>Hello There'",body);

Can you check following points
Can you make sure there are no application changes, I mean the locator is returning single node element.
Can you also post the exception that you are getting. To troubleshoot this problem, need these details.

One thing I do before sending a value to a box is to clear it, also, the value I send is always a string, the parsing should be done by the page/code as you need to validate what the user has entered.
But I do agree with skv, we need to see the actual error being thrown.

Bring the Firefox Browser to Front using selenium Java (Mac OSX)

I am using three instances of fire fox driver for automation.I need to bring current active firefox browser into front, Because I am using some robo classes for some opertation. I had tried java script alert for google chrome in mac ( same operation) and its worked fine. In windows used user32 lib. In the case of firefox mac its showing the alert in background but the web page is not come into front.
((JavascriptExecutor)this.webDriver).executeScript("alert('Test')");
this.webDriver.switchTo().alert().accept();
The above code I used for chrome in Mac. Same code is working and showing alert for firefox but the window is not coming to front.
Please suggest if there any other method for doing the same in firefox.

Store the window handle first in a variable, and then use it to go back to the window later on.
//Store the current window handle
String currentWindowHandle = this.webDriver.getWindowHandle();
//run your javascript and alert code
((JavascriptExecutor)this.webDriver).executeScript("alert('Test')");
this.webDriver.switchTo().alert().accept();
//Switch back to to the window using the handle saved earlier
this.webDriver.switchTo().window(currentWindowHandle);
Additionally, you can try to maximise the window after switching to it, which should also activate it.
this.webDriver.manage().window().maximize();

Try switching using the window name:
driver.switchTo().window("windowName");
Alternatively, you can pass a "window handle" to the switchTo().window() method. Knowing this, it’s possible to iterate over every open window like so:
for (String handle : driver.getWindowHandles()) {
driver.switchTo().window(handle);
}
Based on the Selenium documentation: http://docs.seleniumhq.org/docs/03_webdriver.jsp

As described in other topics, you can use
driver.manage().window().setPosition(new Point(-2000, 0));
too.

# notifications for selenium
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
prefs = {"profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications": 2}
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("prefs", prefs)
current_path = os.getcwd() # current working path
chrome_path = os.path.join(current_path, 'chromedriver')
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=chrome_path, chrome_options=chrome_options)
browser.switch_to.window(browser.current_window_handle)
browser.implicitly_wait(30)
browser.maximize_window()
browser.get("http://facebook.com")

Only thing that worked for me on mac: self.driver.fullscreen_window().
