simulate-mouse-event

The simulate-mouse-event snippet triggers arbitrary mouse events on elements matched by a CSS or XPath selector by calling dispatchEvent for a selector.
The following table lists MouseEvent and PointerEvent events for this snippet:
MouseEvents
PointerEvents
auxclick
pointerover
click
pointerenter
dblclick
pointerdown
mousedown
pointermove
mouseenter
pointerup
mouseleave
pointercancel
mousemove
pointerout
mouseout

mouseover
gotpointercapture
mouseup
lostpointercapture
Parameters
eyeo uses a custom, optional parameter syntax similar to the syntax used in specificClicker.
Mandatory parameter
Name
Description
Mandatory
selectors
The CSS/XPath selector that an HTML element must match for the event to be triggered. A maximum of seven (7) selectors are supported. 
Yes
Optional parameters
Optional parameters are added to the selectors with a $ sign. You can combine multiple parameters for a single selector by separating them with a comma. If you don't specify a parameter is, the default value will be assumed for that selector.
Name
Description
Default
Mandatory
$trigger
If this flag is not set, only the chosen event for the last selector will be triggered. 
​
The $trigger flag can be used for the other selectors to ensure sure the event triggers for them, as well. You can omit the last selector, as $trigger is always true for the last selector.
false
No
$delay
This determines how much time the snippet should wait before simulating the event. 
​
Default is 500 ms. If you don't want a delay, you must explicitly state $delay=0.
500
No
$continue
If set, the event will be triggered after each delay period ends. 
​
For example, if the selected event is click and the delay is 500 ms, then the click event will be triggered every 500 ms instead of just once.
false
No
$event
Determines which event should be simulated for the selector.
click
No
Filter examples
The following table lists examples that use the simulate-mouse-event snippet:
Filter
Result
simulate-mouse-event 'some-css-selector'
Simulates a click event for the elements that match the selector after 500 ms.
simulate-mouse-event 'css-selector1' 'css-selector2'
Simulates a click event for css-selector2 only if css-selector1 is present in the page. Does not click css-selector1.
simulate-mouse-event 'css-selector1$trigger' 'css-selector2'
Simulates a click event for both of the selectors if both of them are present in the page. The $trigger parameter for css-selector2 can be omitted, as it is the last parameter.
simulate-mouse-event 'xpath(some-xpath-selector)$delay=0'
Simulates a click event for the elements that are matched with the xpath selector with no delay. Behaves the same as simulate-event-poc.
simulate-mouse-event 'some-css-selector$continue,delay=100'
Simulates a click event every 100 ms.
simulate-mouse-event 'some-css-selector$continue,delay=100, event=mouseover'
Simulates a mouseover (hover) event over all elements matching the selector every 100 ms.
