How to handle context menu in playwright

A right-click action involves pressing the right mouse button on an element, which typically opens a context menu or performs specific actions associated with that element.

Here’s a straightforward example demonstrating how to perform right-click actions using Playwright:

// @ts-check
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';

test("Right click example", async ({ page }) => {
    await page.goto("https://swisnl.github.io/jQuery-contextMenu/demo.html");
  
    // Locate the element to right-click on
    await page.locator(".context-menu-one.btn.btn-neutral").click({ button: "right" });   
   
  });

Right-click actions in Playwright provide a simple yet powerful way to simulate user interactions and validate UI behavior effectively. With tools like Playwright, automating these tests becomes efficient, allowing teams to focus on building robust and user-friendly applications.
