Protractor - does anybody know how to click on element with RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON?

Question

I know that protractor click on element by default with left mouse button. How to do it to click with RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON ?

el.click('RIGHT'); ?

Solution 1

I would have done like this:

browser.actions().mouseMove(el.find()).perform();
browser.actions().click(protractor.Button.RIGHT).perform();

Based on what I saw in actionsequence.js and Protractor rightClick issue #280

Solution 2

The accepted solution for this question isn't the best way to go about this. Browser actions' .click() method accepts an optional arg for clicking the right button. A better solution, from the webdriverJs api is:

browser.actions()
    .click($('.myElm'), protractor.Button.RIGHT)
    .perform();

I think that protractor.Key.RIGHT performs a right arrow keypress, am I wrong?

The browser.actions() way seems to have broke in protractor 2.0?

@KlasMellbourn If there is a breaking change, it should come from Webdriver which has been upgraded in Protractor 2.0. Have you seen its changelog? I'll take a look too. You can also open an issue on Protractor GitHub ;)

@glepretre I have now raised this issue github.com/angular/protractor/issues/2043

I got el.find is not a function. Had to use el.getLocation() instead, but otherwise this worked.

In Protractor 5.4.2 version with Jasmine , below code is no longer working . Could you please suggest something else since it does nothing ? Thank you . browser.actions().mouseMove(el.getLocation()).perform(); browser.actions().click(protractor.Button.RIGHT).perform()‌​;
