doubleClick()

Double-click an element you’ve located with find():

await testdriver.find('report.pdf in the file list').doubleClick();

element.doubleClick()

Double-clicks the element at the point where find() located it. It’s the same as element.click('double-click').

element.doubleClick(): Promise<void>

It takes no parameters.

Errors

Throws an ElementNotFoundError if find() didn’t locate the element. See click() for how to check found() first.

Double-click at coordinates

The client has no doubleClick() method. To double-click a point on the screen, pass action: 'double-click' to testdriver.click():

await testdriver.click({ x: 640, y: 360, action: 'double-click' });

Prefer element.doubleClick(), which keeps working when the layout or screen size changes.

Examples

Open a file in VS Code

await testdriver.find('package.json in the Explorer sidebar').doubleClick();
await testdriver.assert('package.json is open in the editor');

Select a word

await testdriver.find('the word "Checkout" in the page heading').doubleClick();
await testdriver.pressKeys(['ctrl', 'c']);

Complete example

tests/open-file.test.mjs

import { describe, expect, it } from 'vitest';
import { TestDriver } from 'testdriverai/vitest/hooks';

describe('VS Code', () => {
  it('opens a file from the Explorer', async (context) => {
    const testdriver = TestDriver(context);
    await testdriver.exec({
      language: 'sh',
      code: 'mkdir -p /tmp/my-project && echo "{}" > /tmp/my-project/package.json',
    });
    await testdriver.provision.vscode({ workspace: '/tmp/my-project' });

    await testdriver.find('package.json in the Explorer sidebar').doubleClick();

    const result = await testdriver.assert('package.json is open in the editor');
    expect(result).toBe(true);
  });
});

click(): single clicks, and clicks at coordinates
rightClick(): open a context menu
find(): locate the element to double-click
