Right click or Context click in selenium WebDriver using Actions class-
Sometimes you’ll run into an app that has functionality hidden behind a right-click menu (a.k.a. a context menu). These menus tend to be system level menus that are untouchable by Selenium. So how do you test this functionality?
Below are the Steps we have followed in the example:
Example –
package learnAboutActionsClass;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.Keys;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;
public class RightClickInSelenium {
public static void main(String[] args){
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.navigate().to("http://automationtalks.com/");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
Actions act = new Actions(driver);
act.moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='mbtnav']/li[3]/a"))).build().perform();
act.contextClick(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='mbtnav']/li[3]/ul/li[2]/a"))).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).sendKeys(Keys.ENTER).build().perform();
//Switching between tabs using CTRL + tab keys.
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body")).sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL +"t");
//Switch to current selected tab's content.
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
}
}
Here the method sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN) is used to select an option from the list. If you will not add this method, the right click on the web element will be performed and the option list which appears after the right click will get disappeared without selecting any option.
We can perform the right click on any web element using the Robot class too. Here you first need to move the mouse to the particular web element and then perform the required action…!!!
