Selenium Webdriver drag and drop NOT working in Chrome - selenium-webdriver

Question

I used the below code for drag and drop. It worked in Firefoxdriver but NOT in chromedriver.
WebElement dragElement = driver.findElement(By.id(dragid1));
WebElement dropElement = driver.findElement(By.id(dropid1));
Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
Action drag = builder.clickAndHold(dragElement).build();
drag.perform();
Action move = builder.moveByOffset(355, -20).build();
move.perform();
TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(2);
Actions release = builder.clickAndHold(dropElement).release();
release.perform();
Please Help!

Answer 1

If you have both source and target IDs, then why don't you try to use drag and drop?
I'm not very good with Java, but here's how I've done it in Python. I hope it helps you a bit.
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
actionChains = ActionChains(driver)
actionChains.drag_and_drop(dragElement, dropElement).perform()

Answer 2

Tried below sample code with chromedriver:2.15, chrome:v43 and is working fine with Chrome.
Sample Code:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","drivers/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(1,TimeUnit.MINUTES);
driver.get("http://jqueryui.com/droppable");
driver.switchTo().frame(0);
WebElement dragElement = driver.findElement(By.id("draggable"));
WebElement dropElement = driver.findElement(By.id("droppable"));
Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
builder.clickAndHold(dragElement).moveToElement(dropElement).release().build().perform();

Answer 3

Try bundling all those seperate Action objects into a single Actions object
Actions act = new Actions(driver);
act.ClickAndHold(dragElement );
act.MoveToElement(dropElement );
act.Release(dragElement );
act.Build().Perform();
Note: For me, in Chrome & IE, sometimes just dragging to an Element was not enough to make it stick there, and I would have to add in an extra act.MoveByOffset(0, 5); before releasing to move just a few pixels, which seems to work
Is there a reason you have to wait for 2 seconds before releasing, or is that just what worked in FF?

I had the same problem but got to override it like this:
//Setup robot
Robot robot = new Robot();
robot.setAutoDelay(50);
//Maximized browser:
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_F11);
Thread.sleep(2000);
WebElement dragElement = driver.findElement(drag_element);
Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
builder.dragAndDropBy(dragElement,0, 200).build().perform();
