Introduction

Buttons are the most commonly interacted element in web automation. Engineers must handle:

  1. Single click — basic click() action
  2. Double click — fires a different browser event
  3. Right click — opens the context menu
  4. Disabled button — assert it cannot be interacted with

Selenium uses the Actions class for advanced mouse interactions. Playwright has click options built in.

Single click element.click() locator.click() locator.click()

1. Single Click

Selenium (Java)

driver.findElement(By.id("clickBtn")).click();
assertTrue(driver.findElement(By.id("clickResult")).isDisplayed());

Playwright (JS)

await page.locator("#clickBtn").click();
await expect(page.locator("#clickResult")).toBeVisible();

Playwright (Python)

page.locator("#clickBtn").click()
expect(page.locator("#clickResult")).to_be_visible()

2. Double Click

Selenium (Java)

WebElement btn = driver.findElement(By.id("doubleClickBtn"));
new Actions(driver).doubleClick(btn).perform();
 
assertEquals("Double clicked!", driver.findElement(By.id("doubleClickResult")).getText());

Playwright (JS)

await page.locator("#doubleClickBtn").dblclick();
await expect(page.locator("#doubleClickResult")).toHaveText("Double clicked!");

Playwright (Python)

page.locator("#doubleClickBtn").dblclick()
expect(page.locator("#doubleClickResult")).to_have_text("Double clicked!")

3. Right Click (Context Menu)

Selenium (Java)

WebElement btn = driver.findElement(By.id("rightClickBtn"));
new Actions(driver).contextClick(btn).perform();
 
assertTrue(driver.findElement(By.id("contextMenu")).isDisplayed());

Playwright (JS)

await page.locator("#rightClickBtn").click({ button: "right" });
await expect(page.locator("#contextMenu")).toBeVisible();

Playwright (Python)

page.locator("#rightClickBtn").click(button="right")
expect(page.locator("#contextMenu")).to_be_visible()

4. Disabled Button — verify it cannot be clicked

Selenium (Java)

WebElement btn = driver.findElement(By.id("disabledBtn"));
assertFalse(btn.isEnabled());
assertNotNull(btn.getAttribute("disabled"));

Playwright (JS)

await expect(page.locator("#disabledBtn")).toBeDisabled();

Playwright (Python)

expect(page.locator("#disabledBtn")).to_be_disabled()

5. Verify button text changes after click

Selenium (Java)

WebElement btn = driver.findElement(By.id("toggleBtn"));
String before = btn.getText();
btn.click();
assertNotEquals(before, btn.getText());

Playwright (JS)

const btn = page.locator("#toggleBtn");
const before = await btn.textContent();
await btn.click();
expect(await btn.textContent()).not.toBe(before);

Playwright (Python)

btn = page.locator("#toggleBtn")
before = btn.text_content()
btn.click()
assert btn.text_content() != before

6. Click using keyboard Enter

Selenium (Java)

driver.findElement(By.id("submitBtn")).sendKeys(Keys.ENTER);

Playwright (JS)

await page.locator("#submitBtn").press("Enter");

Playwright (Python)

page.locator("#submitBtn").press("Enter")
