Introduction

The HTML <canvas> element is used to draw graphics on the fly via JavaScript. The items inside a <canvas> element do not have their own locators.

​
Solution

In order to precisely click on a certain position in a <canvas> element, you have to provide the offset, by using the Click with Offset action: endtest canvas The Relative Position represents the number of pixels to the right and down, starting from the top-left corner of your <canvas> element. Since there is no way to retrieve the coordinates of a position from a <canvas> element, you can use an Execute JavaScript step to draw a line on the <canvas> element from the top-left corner to the position you are targeting. This can help you identify the coordinates of a specific position on a <canvas> element. Sample JavaScript code: 
canvas = document.querySelector("#map-page > div > canvas");
ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.moveTo(0, 0);
ctx.lineTo(190, 320);
ctx.stroke();
