How to Resolve MoveTargetOutOfBoundsException in Selenium?
Blog post from testRigor
MoveTargetOutOfBoundsException is a common issue in Selenium automation testing, occurring when actions are attempted on elements outside the browser's visible viewport, often requiring scrolling or adjustments. Various factors contribute to this exception, such as elements being out of the viewport, dynamic content shifting element positions, fixed UI elements interfering with coordinates, and incorrect iFrame context handling. Solutions include scrolling to elements, adjusting browser window size, using JavaScript direct interactions, handling dynamic content with explicit waits, and correctly switching iFrame contexts. Despite Selenium's popularity, its maintenance challenges and exceptions have led to the emergence of AI-powered, codeless tools like testRigor, which simplify the testing process by using natural language processing, eliminating the need for extensive coding and explicit waits. TestRigor allows tests to be written in plain English, supports scrolling and element interaction through intuitive commands, and offers a more efficient alternative for achieving high test coverage and scalability with reduced maintenance, as highlighted by user testimonials and a free trial offer.
