Once the page loads, Is there a way to select the option from right click
Example: I am using locator and able to perform right click
await page.getByRole("document").click( { button: "right" }); Now I would like to click on "View Page Source" . Is there an option to do this using Playwright
Basically, the use case is to automate. I expect a different item in the right click which will be useful in automating.
This functionality is not supported by Playwright. Seems like a similar issue like this https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-python/issues/676.
The solution depends on what you're trying to accomplish with the right-click.
If you're trying to retrieve the source of the page
You can get it with page.content() easily, or you can use CDPSession to access Chrome's page.captureSnapshot
If you're trying to right-click a custom context menu which is coded in your app
Playwright doesn't support selecting options from Chrome's context menu, but when you say "I expect a different item," this tells me that your application may have a right-click handler which opens its own in-app context menu instead of Chrome's. In that case, you can locate and left-click on the element that is now visible as a result of your right-click.
Something like
await page.locator(".right-clickable-element").click( { button: "right" });
await page.locator(".app-custom-context-menu-option").click();
For Java :
Locator button = page.locator("button_xpath");
button.click(new Locator.ClickOptions().setButton(MouseButton.RIGHT));
view-source:to your URL rather than right-clicking to view the source, although there's never really any reason for that since Playwright haspage.content(). You want to automate the page, not the browser that displays the page.
