I am using Selenium IDE for a google search scenario.
1 open google
2 then type "india" and click on the search button
3 then go to any link and right clicking on that link
and open that link in new tab or window
what i have done till now is
<tr>
<td>open</td>
<td>/</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>type</td>
<td>id=gbqfq</td>
<td>india</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>click</td>
<td>id=gbqfb</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>contextMenu</td>
<td>//*[@id='rso']/li[3]/div/h3/a</td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
What i am not able to do is : right click on the link and then open that link in new window.
can anyone please suggest what need to do .
"right click on the link and then open that link in new window" this is the browser feature not the page feature.. that why you not able to record it in IDE.
If you wanna know about recording right click, try click here
You can Press Ctrl key and click on the link so that it gets opened in a new tab.
For using control key in Selenium IDE use the below keywords.
controlKeyDown ( )
//code for clicking the link
controlKeyUp ( )
you can get the href attribute of that link and then open it in a new window by using openWindow() command.
Following opens the URL in a new tab, if you've configured Firefox to open new tabs instead of new windows.
storeAttribute | link-locator-here | myURLvariableName |
getEval | window.open( storedVars.myURLvariableName, '_blank' /* or tab target name*/ ); |
