PROTRACTOR: Right click on link and open in NEW TAB

Question

TestCase: Right click on link element and open in NEW TAB or NEW WINDOW.

I could able to right click on the element using the below code. But not sure how to select the option of "OPEN Link in NEW TAB".

TRIED:

browser.actions().mouseMove(rightClickEle).perform();
browser.actions().click(protractor.Button.RIGHT).perform();

Answer 1

Finally I sorted out the solution to "RIGHT CLICK AND OPEN IN NEWTAB".

var rightClickEle = browser.driver.findElement(by.xpath("//a[contains(text(),'linkA')]"));
browser.actions().mouseMove(rightClickEle).perform();
browser.actions().click(protractor.Button.RIGHT).perform();
browser.actions().mouseMove(rightClickEle).keyDown(protractor.Key.CONTROL).click().perform();
browser.actions().mouseMove(rightClickEle).keyDown(protractor.Key.CONTROL).click().keyUp(protractor.Key.CONTROL).perform();
