I often build ActionChains to interact with MUI components. Here is one that enters the date MM/DD/YYYY but ensures we start typing in the MM portion of the input. I have to wait for the animation of the field label to move out of the way before the input will accept anything. actions = ActionChains(driver, duration=CHAIN_DURATION) actions.move_to_element(element) actions.click(element) actions.pause(.25) # animation of label to move out of the way. actions.send_keys(Keys.ARROW_LEFT) actions.send_keys(Keys.ARROW_LEFT) actions.send_keys(date_str) actions.send_keys(Keys.TAB) actions.perform() The problem is this animation speed is variable (and it's not always known how fast each component will be). What I wish I had was the ability to perform a WebDriverWait.until(expected_condition) in the middle of the ActionChain. In this case I would wait until the label element (different from the input element) has stopped moving. Is this possible in some way? Continue reading...
