[FIXED] Select item from the browser context menu

Issue

We have a Chrome extension which adds telephony functionality to the browser and I am trying to write a test scenario where the user right clicks on a telephone number and then clicks the Dial option from the context menu.

I have seen many workarounds for this and used many myself in the past, but in this scenario I really need to click the context menu item. If I try doing a click offset the item under the context menu is clicked instead.

Can a context menu item selection be done through the webdriver?

Solution

You can build an action with the contextClick():

Actions actions = new Actions(webDriver);        
actions.contextClick().sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).sendKeys(Keys.RETURN).perform();

It is in Java but you can easly implement something like this in C#. It will select something from the context menu, you just need to add some more ARROW_DOWN's
