📌 What is Right Click in Selenium?

Right click is also known as Context Click. In Selenium WebDriver, the right click action can be performed using the Actions class.

The contextClick() method allows automation scripts to simulate a right-click operation on a specific web element.

💻 Selenium Right Click Java Example

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions;

public class RightClickExample {

public static void main(String[] args) {

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

driver.get("https://www.bhauautomation.com");

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("menu"));

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);

actions.contextClick(element).perform();

}

}
