Select an Option from the Right-Click Menu in Selenium Webdriver - Java

We will take the help of WebDriver action class and perform Right Click. the below is the syntax :

Actions action = new Actions(driver).contextClick(element);
action.build().perform();

Below are the Steps we have followed in the example:

  1. Identify the element
  2. Wait for the presence of Element
  3. Now perform Context click
  4. After that we need to select the required link.

package com.pack.rightclick;

    import org.openqa.selenium.Alert;
    import org.openqa.selenium.By;
    import org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException;
    import org.openqa.selenium.StaleElementReferenceException;
    import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
    import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
    import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
    import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;
    import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
    import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
    import org.testng.Assert;
    import org.testng.annotations.AfterClass;
    import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;
    import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class RightClickExample {

    WebDriver driver;

    String URL = "http://medialize.github.io/jQuery-contextMenu/demo.html";

    @BeforeClass
    public void Setup() {
        driver = new FirefoxDriver();
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
    }

    @Test
    public void rightClickTest() {
        driver.navigate().to(URL);
        By locator = By.cssSelector(".context-menu-one.box");
        WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 5);
        wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(locator)); 
        WebElement element=driver.findElement(locator);
        rightClick(element);
        WebElement elementEdit =driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".context-menu-item.icon.icon-edit>span"));
        elementEdit.click();
        Alert alert=driver.switchTo().alert();
        String textEdit = alert.getText();
        Assert.assertEquals(textEdit, "clicked: edit", "Failed to click on Edit link");
    }

    public void rightClick(WebElement element) {
        try {
            Actions action = new Actions(driver).contextClick(element);
            action.build().perform();

            System.out.println("Sucessfully Right clicked on the element");
        } catch (StaleElementReferenceException e) {
            System.out.println("Element is not attached to the page document "
                    + e.getStackTrace());
        } catch (NoSuchElementException e) {
            System.out.println("Element " + element + " was not found in DOM "
                    + e.getStackTrace());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Element " + element + " was not clickable "
                    + e.getStackTrace());
        }
    }

    @AfterClass
    public void tearDown() {
        driver.quit();
    }


}

To select the item from the contextual menu, you have to just move your mouse positions with the use of Key down event like this:-

Actions action= new Actions(driver);
action.contextClick(productLink).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).sendKeys(Keys.RETURN).build().perform();

hope this will works for you. Have a great day :)


this is better approach and its successful :

Actions oAction = new Actions(driver);
oAction.moveToElement(Webelement);
oAction.contextClick(Webelement).build().perform();  /* this will perform right click */
WebElement elementOpen = driver.findElement(By.linkText("Open")); /*This will select menu after right click */

elementOpen.click();

*Using Robot class you can do this, Try following code:

Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.contextClick(WebElement).build().perform();
Robot robot = new Robot();
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);

[UPDATE]

CAUTION: Your Browser should always be in focus i.e. running in foreground while performing Robot Actions, other-wise any other application in foreground will receive the actions.
