Programmatic context menu triggering from tests

[Chris Bentzel]

I'd like to write a browser_test which triggers a context menu on an image and chooses the "Save Image As" option.

Does any mechanism exist for this? 

I saw webkit/glue/context_menu_unittest, which simulates mouse events to trigger it, but am concerned that this will be fragile. For example, on Win we show the context menu at mouse up, but on Mac/Lin we show at mouse down. We'd also have to get the correct screen coordinates for the image, and I also want to choose a particular item from the list.

If nothing exists I'll try to figure out how to do this.

For what it's worth, the Chrome Frame integration tests post button down/up events at the top-left corner of the window to get the context menu for the page:

http://code.google.com/codesearch#OAMlx_jo-ck/src/chrome_frame/test/mock_ie_event_sink_actions.h&exact_package=chromium&q=OpenContextMenuAsync&ct=rc&cd=2&sq=&l=215

I don't have any sage advice for how to get the coordinates of the image, or for how to do it in a nice cross-platform way.

In chrome/browser/extensions/extension_webnavigation_apitest.cc I create a fake (ui-less) context menu and trigger a command on it to test "open link in new tab"

Perfect, thanks.
