Selenium WebDriverException: The expected mouse "id" must be mapped to an InputState whose subtype is undefined, received by: pointerMove

I have a problem with Selenium that I cannot figure out about. Also, I cannot find much information on this issue via Google.

My Selenium script does the following steps:

• Log into Facebook.
• Go to the list of friend suggestions.
• Scroll down a few times (to load more offers).
• Submit all sentences one by one on the console and ask the user if they should add a friend.

On confirmation, a chain of actions is created that navigates to the proposal in question, and then the add button is clicked.

But chaining doesn't work. I am getting the following error:

Potential friend name: 'John Doe'
Social context: 'Max Mustermann und 3 weitere gemeinsame Freunde'
Traceback (most recent call last):

This is my selenium script:

def main():
    driver = webdriver.Firefox()
    driver.get("http://www.facebook.com")

    print(driver.title)

    input_mail = driver.find_element_by_id("email")
    input_password = driver.find_element_by_id("pass")

    input_mail.send_keys("your_login@example.com")
    input_password.send_keys("your_password")
    input_password.submit()

    try:
        WebDriverWait(driver, TIMEOUT).until(
            EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.NAME, "requests")))

        driver.get("https://www.facebook.com/friends/requests/?fcref=jwl")

        WebDriverWait(driver, TIMEOUT).until(

        # Let Facebook load more friend proposals.
        for i in range(2):
            driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)")
            time.sleep(1.0)

        friend_proposals = driver.find_elements_by_class_name(

        for friend_proposal in friend_proposals:
            try:
                friend_title = friend_proposal.find_element_by_class_name(
                    "friendBrowserNameTitle")
            except NoSuchElementException:
                print("Title element could not be found. Skipping.")
                continue

            print("Potential friend name: '%s'" % friend_title.text)

            social_context = friend_proposal.find_element_by_class_name(
                "friendBrowserSocialContext")
            social_context_text = social_context.text
            print("Social context: '%s'" % social_context_text)

            friend_add_button = friend_proposal.find_element_by_class_name(
                "FriendRequestAdd")

            actions = ActionChains(driver)
            actions.move_to_element(friend_proposal).move_to_element(
                friend_add_button).perform()
            time.sleep(0.1)

            print("Should I add the friend (y/N): ")
            response = input()
            if response == "y":
                friend_add_button.click()
                time.sleep(1.0)
                print("Added friend...")

    except TimeoutException as exc:
        print("TimeoutException: " + str(exc))
    finally:
        driver.quit()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    try:
        main()
    except:
        raise

      

        
        
        
      

    

I am using the latest version of Selenium:

C:\Users\Robert>pip show selenium
Name: selenium
Version: 3.3.1

      

        
        
        
      

    

And I have Firefox 52.0.1 with geckodriver v0.15.0.

Update: . A quick test showed that the same script works flawlessly with Chrome Webdriver.
