Clicking at coordinates without identifying element

Question

As part of my Selenium test for a login function, I would like to click a button by identifying its coordinates and instructing Selenium to click at those coordinates. This

Answer 1

I used AutoIt to do it.

using AutoIt;
AutoItX.MouseClick("LEFT",150,150,1,0);//1: click once, 0: Move instantaneous

1. Pro:
   • simple
   • regardless of mouse movement
2. Con:
   • since coordinate is screen-based, there should be some caution if the app scales.
   • the drive won't know when the app finish with clicking consequence actions. There should be a waiting period.
