.clickAndHold() Suggest edits
Since: 2.0.0Move to the element and click (without releasing) in the middle of the given element.
clickAndHold() will automatically wait for the element to be present (until the specified timeout). If the element is not found, an error is thrown which will cause the test to fail. Starting with v1.2 you can suppress element not found errors by specifying the suppressNotFoundErrors option.
