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

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 :)


*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.


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();

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.

        String textEdit = alert.getText();
        Assert.assertEquals(textEdit, "clicked: edit", "Failed to click on Edit link");
    }
