Right Click -Selenium - Python

Question

I'm little bit struggling to find the correct way to perform a right click.

Here is a sample of my code:

click_Menu = driver.find_element_by_id("Menu")
print(click_Menu.text)
action.move_to_element(click_Menu)
action.context_click(on_element=click_Menu)
action.perform()

All the imports are there.And print(click_Menu.text) => returns "Menu", so the element has been found

Error :

selenium.common.exceptions.StaleElementReferenceException: Message: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document

I tried to add time.sleep() but the result is the same.

Any ideas please ?

This code will help you to solve the issue.

from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains

Identifying the source element

click_Menu= driver.find_element_by_xpath("your path")

or

click_Menu= driver.find_element_by_id("Menu")

Action chain object creation

action = ActionChains(driver)

Right-click operation and then perform

action.move_to_element(click_Menu).perform()
action.context_click(click_Menu).perform()

The easy way to overcome many of these types of errors is to just add some sort of delay:

import time
time.sleep(2)

@Hadj Can you try with time to sleep? The easy way to overcome many of these types of errors is to just add some sort of delay. import time time.sleep(2)

Solution found.

I was using an old ActionChains object. So i reinstantiate it by creating a new one.

action1 = ActionChains(driver)

You simply need to pass only the element within context_click() as follows:

context_click(click_Menu)

Your effective line of code will be:

action.context_click(click_Menu)

Optimizing your code block:

click_Menu = driver.find_element(By.ID, "Menu")
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(click_Menu).context_click(click_Menu).perform()
