Create the `simulateDragDrop` function which can be used to simulate clicking and dragging one DOM Node onto another

native_js_drag_and_drop_helper.js

function simulateDragDrop(sourceNode, destinationNode) {
    var EVENT_TYPES = {
        DRAG_END: 'dragend',
        DRAG_START: 'dragstart',
        DROP: 'drop'
    }

    function createCustomEvent(type) {
        var event = new CustomEvent("CustomEvent")
        event.initCustomEvent(type, true, true, null)
        event.dataTransfer = {
            data: {
            },
            setData: function(type, val) {
                this.data[type] = val
            },
            getData: function(type) {
                return this.data[type]
            }
        }
        return event
    }

    function dispatchEvent(node, type, event) {
        if (node.dispatchEvent) {
            return node.dispatchEvent(event)
        }
        if (node.fireEvent) {
            return node.fireEvent("on" + type, event)
        }
    }

    var event = createCustomEvent(EVENT_TYPES.DRAG_START)
    dispatchEvent(sourceNode, EVENT_TYPES.DRAG_START, event)

    var dropEvent = createCustomEvent(EVENT_TYPES.DROP)
    dropEvent.dataTransfer = event.dataTransfer
    dispatchEvent(destinationNode, EVENT_TYPES.DROP, dropEvent)

    var dragEndEvent = createCustomEvent(EVENT_TYPES.DRAG_END)
    dragEndEvent.dataTransfer = event.dataTransfer
    dispatchEvent(sourceNode, EVENT_TYPES.DRAG_END, dragEndEvent)
}

@mufasalg0 you can use the script above, save it in your repo and read the file into a String object.
I don't know exactly what stack you're using but selenium or most drivers have options for executing javascript directly.
look for "selenium javascript executor" for example.

Hi, is it possible to upgrade this script and move the element to the given coordinates?

If someone is doing this in 2021, and is having trouble with data transfer object (in the above example dataTransfer object is a very trimmed down version of the actual object in 2021, so some of the application implementation could reject this object) then the following would work. Just replaced the Custom event with DragEvent and used the actual DataTransfer object instead of the dummy one.

function simulateDragDrop(sourceNode, destinationNode) {
    var EVENT_TYPES = {
        DRAG_END: 'dragend',
        DRAG_START: 'dragstart',
        DROP: 'drop'
    }

    function createCustomEvent(type, dataTransfer) {
        var event = new DragEvent(type,  {dataTransfer});
        return event
    }

    function dispatchEvent(node, type, event) {
        if (node.dispatchEvent) {
            return node.dispatchEvent(event)
        }
        if (node.fireEvent) {
            return node.fireEvent("on" + type, event)
        }
    }

    var event = createCustomEvent(EVENT_TYPES.DRAG_START, new DataTransfer())
    dispatchEvent(sourceNode, EVENT_TYPES.DRAG_START, event)

    var dropEvent = createCustomEvent(EVENT_TYPES.DROP, event.dataTransfer)
    dispatchEvent(destinationNode, EVENT_TYPES.DROP, dropEvent)

    var dragEndEvent = createCustomEvent(EVENT_TYPES.DRAG_END, event.dataTransfer)
    dispatchEvent(sourceNode, EVENT_TYPES.DRAG_END, dragEndEvent)
}

@Praveer-grover this changes in this script are not moving elements for me, is it possible that you can confirm this method is still functional?

DragEvent

function simulateDragDrop(sourceNode, destinationNode) {
    var EVENT_TYPES = {
        DRAG_END: 'dragend',
        DRAG_START: 'dragstart',
        DROP: 'drop'
    }

    function createCustomEvent(type, dataTransfer) {
        dataTransfer.data = {};
        dataTransfer.setData = function(type,val){this.data[type] = val};
        dataTransfer.getData = function(type){return this.data[type]};
        dataTransfer.dropEffect = 'move';
        dataTransfer.effectAllowed = 'move';
        dataTransfer.types = [];
        dataTransfer.items = {};
        dataTransfer.files = {};
        var event = new DragEvent(
            type,  
            {
                bubbles: true,
                cancelable: true,
                dataTransfer: dataTransfer
            });
        return event
    }

    function dispatchEvent(node, type, event) {
        if (node.dispatchEvent) {
            return node.dispatchEvent(event)
        }
        if (node.fireEvent) {
            return node.fireEvent("on" + type, event)
        }
    }

    var event = createCustomEvent(EVENT_TYPES.DRAG_START, new DataTransfer())
    dispatchEvent(sourceNode, EVENT_TYPES.DRAG_START, event)

    var dropEvent = createCustomEvent(EVENT_TYPES.DROP, event.dataTransfer)
    dispatchEvent(destinationNode, EVENT_TYPES.DROP, dropEvent)

    var dragEndEvent = createCustomEvent(EVENT_TYPES.DRAG_END, event.dataTransfer)
    dispatchEvent(sourceNode, EVENT_TYPES.DRAG_END, dragEndEvent)
}
