We are trying to simulate a drag and drop action using WATIR, however, we seem to be getting some strange errors in return.
First, we store the 'drag item' and its destination:
drag = @browser.trs(:draggable => 'true')
drop = drag[0]
destination = drag[1]
The first test we ran combined mouse events:
drop.fire_event("onmousedown")
@browser.driver.action.click_and_hold(drop).perform
@browser.driver.action.move_to(destination).click.perform
drop.fire_event("onmouseup")
The second test we ran used the drag and drop method:
@browser.driver.action.drag_and_drop_by(drop, 0, 500).perform
However, both attempts result in the same error:
Selenium::WebDriver::Error::InvalidArgumentError: data did not match any variant of untagged enum PointerActionItem at line 1 column 225
./features/W1-Administering_a_Shotlist/W1.1-Shotlists/step_definitions/W1.1.4-Reorder_Shotlist.rb:10:in `/^SA drag the selected shotlist to reorder$/'
./features/W1-Administering_a_Shotlist/W1.1-Shotlists/W1.1.4-Reorder_Shotlist.feature:9:in `When SA drag the selected shotlist to reorder'
We think that this error refers to the @browser.driver.action. reference in both methods, but are unsure how to resolve this.
Any advice would be most welcome!
Edit 26/11/2018
As per suggestions below, we tried the drag_and_drop_on method using the following code:
draggable = @browser.trs(:draggable => 'true')
target = draggable[0]
destination = draggable[1]
target.drag_and_drop_on destination
sleep(5)
While this produced no errors, it also didn't seem to produce any results (i.e. moving the target element to the position of the destination element).

The error is caused by a bug in geckodriver 0.22 https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/issues/1375
Try downgrading geckodriver and see if it works.

If you get something working without the watir method and the watir method does not work, can you let me know? The Watir approach should be doing the Selenium calls that you need without having to deal with action class at all.
– titusfortner
Nov 26 '18 at 23:03
for the most recent test (added to the question above) we used the exact same code you mention in your answer (w/o reference the action class):target.drag_and_drop_on destination. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work for us - it doesn't complete the drag and drop action, nor does it provoke any errors.

You might want to double-check you're passing the right arguments. From the examples, your
dropmight be aString(ie thedrop = drop.text) or aWatir::Element. The Selenium methods will expect aSelenium::WebDriver::Element. Using @titusfortner's answer will simplify a lot since you can stick withWatir::Element.– Justin Ko
