It seems this is the way to do hover / mouseover in webdriver, at least in the java api:
Actions action = new Actions(driver); action.moveToElement(element).
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains def hover(self): wd = webdriver_connection.connection element = wd.find_element_by_link_text(self.locator) hov = ActionChains(wd).move_to_element(element) hov.perform()
