Example

Let's start by importing our requisite classes for our test framework (e.g., NUnit.Framework), driving the browser with Selenium (e.g., OpenQA.Selenium, etc.), and start our class off with some setup and teardown methods.

// filename: RightClick.cs
using NUnit.Framework;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Interactions;

public class RightClick
{
IWebDriver Driver;

[SetUp]
public void SetUp()
{
Driver = new FirefoxDriver();
}

[TearDown]
public void TearDown()
{
Driver.Quit();
}
// ...

Now we're ready to write our test.

Let's use an example from the-internet that will render a custom context menu when we right-click on a specific area of the page (link).

Clicking the context menu item will trigger a JavaScript alert which will say You selected a context menu. We'll grab this text and use it to assert that the menu was actually triggered.

// filename: RightClick.cs
// ...
[Test]
public void RightClickExample()
{
Driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/context_menu");
IWebElement MenuArea = Driver.FindElement(By.Id("hot-spot"));
Actions Builder = new Actions(Driver);
Builder.ContextClick(MenuArea)
.SendKeys(Keys.ArrowDown)
.SendKeys(Keys.ArrowDown)
.SendKeys(Keys.ArrowDown)
.SendKeys(Keys.ArrowDown)
.SendKeys(Keys.ArrowDown)
.SendKeys(Keys.Enter)
.Perform();
IAlert Alert = Driver.SwitchTo().Alert();
Assert.That(Alert.Text.Equals("You selected a context menu"));
}
}

Expected Behavior

When you save this file and run it (e.g., nunit3-console.exe .\RightClick.sln from the command-line) here is what will happen.

  • Open the browser
  • Visit the page
  • Find and right-click the area of the page that renders a custom context menu
  • Navigate to the context menu option with keyboard keys and select it
  • JavaScript alert appears
  • Grab the text of the JavaScript alert
  • Assert that the text from the alert is what we expect
  • Close the browser

Happy Testing!
