Testing drag-and-drop with Watir

Question

I'm evaluating Watir right now. While Selenium has a dragAndDropToObject command (which seems to be broken) Watir seems not to have such a command. I couldn't find a script/tutorial with an example of how to test DnD with Watir.

Did anybody try/succeed in testing drag-and-drop with Watir?

Btw.: I am using jQuery for the DnD implementation.

Answer 1

I have heard people talk about it. Possibilities For New Events in Watir is often mentioned when talking about drag and drop.

I would suggest that you browse these for more information:

• http://groups.google.com/group/watir-general
• http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-development

Answer 2

Different people have developed their own extensions to Watir for this. A lot depends on which drag and drop library you are using, apparently. Core Watir does not support drag and drop.
