Drag-and-drop functionality for wdi5

[ph-alsvik]

Hello again, JS-Soft!

This is my "first take" on drag-and-drop functionality for wdi5. sorry for the delay, it's been busy at the office lately.
Let me know what you think, and what ought to be changed.

Also working on test script for this aswell, which is coming up soon.

Hi, nice approach. What about the wdio https://webdriver.io/docs/api/element/dragAndDrop/ function?

[ph-alsvik]

Honestly, I tried doing drag-and-drop via wdio api, but couldn't get it to work. I managed to grap the element, but it wouldn't drop it on the target, for some reason. Rather than trying to make it work, I decided to use the sap.ui.test.actions library, and it worked.

That being said, very curious to hear the pros and cons of my approach vs one using wdio api 😃

Hi, I also tried to get the wdio dragAndDrop to work -> no success see webdriverio/webdriverio#4134

At least I added a testcase for you

I'm most definitely pro using the UI5 API for enabling drag'n'drop testing.
WebdriverIO's dragAndDrop highly depends on a WebApp's implementation of the UX pattern anyway - so we're better of going the UI5-API-route!

hey @ph-alsvik, anything we can help with at that point to get the drag-and-drop support further off the ground?

Hi @vobu Sorry it's been quiet on my part lately! It's been very busy at the office these past weeks. I'll have more time to look into it next week.
