How to perform mouse right click in Robot Framework?

Question

I' writing automated tests using selenium in RIDE. I need somehow to right click element on page and click option from context menu.

Is somewhere any library for Robot Framework which may be helpful to do that? If not, Could you help me how to do that in other way, using existing keywords for example?

Hi, I looked for the solution and I found this on stack. [link]https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17092328/how-to-simulate-right-click-in-javascript I tried this solution but it didn't work. Do you have any idea how to do it better in js? — Jakub Nowacki, Nov 08 '17 at 09:32
Assuming you're suing `Selenium2Library`, have you tried the keyword [Open context menu](http://robotframework.org/Selenium2Library/Selenium2Library.html#Open%20Context%20Menu)? — Bryan Oakley, Nov 08 '17 at 12:52
Actually, I found the solution. I wrote an extension to the Selenium2Library with new method. I posted the answer for everybody who would have the same problem as me — Jakub Nowacki, Nov 08 '17 at 13:06

I found the solution. I wrote an extension to the Selenium2Library:

from robot.api.deco import keyword
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains
from Selenium2Library import Selenium2Library

class ExtendedSeleniumLibrary(Selenium2Library):
    @keyword("Right Click Element")
    def Right_Click(self, xpath):
        driver = self._current_browser()

        actionChains = ActionChains(driver)

        element=driver.find_element_by_xpath(str(xpath))

        actionChains.context_click(element).perform()

Now, I'm not using Selenium2Library but my ExtendedSeleniumLibrary with new method in class and it works.
