Unable to Right click on Alarm Clock Element about ywinappdriver HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks. you are hit endpoints: session/279196bb-d37f-4293-80c7-9953fabc984a/actions with parameters

      {"actions": [{"type": "pointer", "parameters": {"pointerType": "pen"}, "id": "mouse", "actions": [{"type": "pointerMove", "duration": 250, "x": 396, "y": 210, "origin": "viewport"}, {"type": "pointerDown", "duration": 0, "button": 2}, {"type": "pointerUp", "duration": 0, "button": 2}]}]}`

and this endpoint is not implemented yet.

Likely it already have right click(RIGHT = 2) in the code base,

There are two possible solutions:

1. add the actions endpoint into the codebase to support actions above.
2. make the client send out click with additional parameters "button":"2"

   {"id": "42.2428328.4.5", "button":"2"}

The 2nd solution should already supported because it's defined in [json wire protocol]
(https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/legacy/json_wire_protocol/#sessionsessionidclick) by some client

from ywinappdriver.

Thank you so much for the quick response :)

I don't think we can extend the Appium-Python-Client to provide additional parameters based on the documentation: http://appium.io/docs/en/commands/element/actions/click/
https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/676c4cc8bbb0c113e5218e824df1fbd5d4a02a7d/py/selenium/webdriver/remote/webelement.py#L79

Even when right-clicking worked in version 1.3.0 (Selenium 3~), the right click was executed via action chain. In my python code , lines 42-43 demonstrate the code that used to work in the old version.

I could log a bug on Appium-Python-Client's end to provide this functionality, but if we were to take matters into our own hands, I think the 1st solution where we implement the actions endpoint seems to be the only way.

Dug a little deeper into the issue. So the click functionality from the client side is implemented in Selenium. Someone else already asked about potentially adding the ability to extend click to specifying mouse button:
SeleniumHQ/selenium#8654

This issue was posted two years ago. Nevertheless, I did log an issue in the W3C github repo:
w3c/webdriver#1647

It would be starting to look like going for option 2 would require a lot of hands to implement.

Is there anything on my end I could do?

You may choose C# for right click test cases. WinAppDriver has good support with C#, and possible Java.

If you stick with Appium-Python-Client, you may implement Actions endpoint based on YWinAppDriver. Of course, new PRs are welcome.

Some selenium clients allow user to send the raw data, but I don't know if Appium-Python-Client allows you to do it or not.

I didn't have other solutions in mind.
