How to perform Right Click in Selenium?

Sometimes, web elements require a right-click (context click) to open a context menu or perform specific actions. Selenium WebDriver provides the Actions class to handle advanced user interactions such as right-clicking.

• Always call .perform() at the end of the action chain to execute the action.
• contextClick() is used for right-clicking.

I am providing example script below to handle right click with selenium and java

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;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterClass;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class RightClickTest {

WebDriver driver;

@BeforeClass
public void setUp() {
    // Set path to ChromeDriver
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/chromedriver");

    // Initialize WebDriver
    driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver.manage().window().maximize();

    // Open the target URL
    driver.get("https://example.com");
}

@Test
public void testRightClick() throws InterruptedException {
    // Locate the element to right-click
    WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("rightClickButton"));

    // Create Actions instance
    Actions actions = new Actions(driver);

    // Perform right-click (context click) action
    actions.contextClick(element).perform();

    // Optional: wait to observe the action
    Thread.sleep(2000);
}

@AfterClass
public void tearDown() {
    // Close the browser
    if (driver != null) {
        driver.quit();
    }
}

}
