Menu
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")]')

We can click a button with Selenium webdriver in Python using the click method. First, we have to identify the button to be clicked with the help of any locators like id, name, class, xpath, tagname or css. Then we have to apply the click method on it. A button in html code is represented by button tagname.
Selenium uses the Actions class to perform the right click action. The contextClick() is a method under Actions class to do the right click and once the menu opens, we can select an option from them via automation.
This article revolves around double_click method on Action Chains in Python Selenium. double_click method is used to double click on an element or current position. on_element – The element to click. If None, clicks on current mouse position.
For automating the right-click operation, Selenium provides a dedicated method – contextClick(). This method accepts the target WebElement as the argument. In order to use this method, use the Actions class object. The method of locating the desired element remains the same.
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()
