Python Selenium Right Click

Question

Trying to find some text and then right click on that text. The table is dynamic so I cannot presume to know the cell positions of where the value to search for is or the value to click on. so for example I want to find a name and then right click on the name itself

The right click menu seems to be called class = context menu, and the values are class = context_item (See attached screenshots) (html included also)

I know that this part works, but the rest below it is having an issue - col = row.find_element(By.XPATH, '//a[contains(text() , "Luke Wilson")]')

### OUTPUT

Note that click() will not do right click, it is context_click()

If you want to right click on based on name, then you can use this code :

ActionChains(driver).context_click(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[text()='Luke Wilson']").perform()

You can try with this also :

action = ActionChains(driver)
action.move_to_element(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[text()='Luke Wilson']")).perform();
action.context_click().perform()
