What is the difference between actions and actions in selenium?

 The difference between actions and action in selenium in the context of selenium web driver is the following:-

In selenium, the action class is used in gaining the way of performing a complex user interaction such as mouse movement, action of keyboard, etc. It is used in the creation of a sequence of actions such as click, drag and type, etc.

Here is the example given of it’-

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);

Action action = actions.click(element).build();

Action.perform();

Action interface

On the other hand, the action is an interface of selenium which refers to a single-user interaction that can be implemented by using the “perform()” method. Therefore, it is used to create single actions such as click, double click, context-click, etc.

Here is the example given of it:-

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);

Action action = actions.click(element).build();

Action.perform();

Scenario-based usage:-

You can use the “actions” class to perform a series of complex interactions. You can also use it for a sequence of actions such as dragging, moving, etc. on a particular web page.

You can use the “action” interface for performing single standalone interactions such as single click, double click, context-click, etc.
