Double Click and Right Click in Karate Robot framework for windows app

[spd42]

Double click doesnt work in Karate Robot framework for windows app

locate('abc').doubleClick(0,0)

It clicks twice but does it slowly such that the double click does not really work. I found doubleClick() method in RobotBase.Java which has a 40ms delay between the clicks and i'm not sure if that is the reason behind the lag in clicks.

Right Click also doesnt work as there is no method in Element.java but there is a rightClick() method in RobotBase.Java which calls Click(3) internally

@spd42 I'm tagging this as help wanted. my recommendation is please see if you can contribute a fix, because I right now don't have access to a windows environment or app to test. even if you tell me which line to change, I can make a release.

@spd42 I use karate-robot primarily for test automation, but haven't had to use the double or right click for my application. While I agree that it should be properly addressed, perhaps you could try some workarounds in the meantime. I believe chaining clicks behaves the same as the double click, but I haven't tried it in a while. Give this a try:
* locate('abc').click().click()
As for the right click, you could try the keyboard shortcut like so:
* locate('abc').input(Key.SHIFT + Key.F10)

@spd42 regarding the double click again, I just remembered that I did in fact use the double click in one of scripts. here's the snippet:

    * def region = locate('abc').region
    * def scrollX = parseInt(region.width)
    * def scrollY = parseInt(region.height)
    * region.inset(scrollX, scrollY).move()
    * robot.location.doubleClick()

I hope this helps.
