WebElement input=driver.findElement(By.id("clickable"));
WebElement status=driver.findElement(By.id("click-status"));
new Actions(driver)
.clickAndHold(input)
.pause(Duration.ofSeconds(5))
.perform();
Assert.assertEquals(status.getText(),"focused");
//click AndRelease
WebElement link=driver.findElement(By.id("click"));
new Actions(driver)
.click(link)
.perform();
Assert.assertTrue(driver.getCurrentUrl().contains("resultPage.html"));
