browser.keys command does not work in Firefox #2468

Closed kretschmannj closed 2 years ago

kretschmannj commented 4 years ago

This works for Chrome but not on Firefox.

        client
            .keys([client.Keys.COMMAND], () => {
                component.click('.infinite-tree-item:nth-of-type(1)');
                component.click('.infinite-tree-item:nth-of-type(2)');
            });

tried this as well -> 

        client
            .sendKeys('#myDiv', [client.Keys.COMMAND], () => {
                component.click('.infinite-tree-item:nth-of-type(1)');
                component.click('.infinite-tree-item:nth-of-type(2)');
            });

Not working.

My application has a date field followed by a checkbox. I'm attempting to tab from the date field to the checkbox and then I want to check the box. I have tried three different methods for sending the keys. All three methods work fine in Chrome but fail in Firefox.

method 1:

browser.keys([browser.Keys.TAB, browser.Keys.TAB, browser.Keys.TAB, browser.Keys.TAB, browser.Keys.SPACE])

output in Firefox:

 Error while running .sendKeys() protocol action: An unknown error has occurred.

method 2: browser.sendKeys('#authExpiryDt', [browser.Keys.TAB, browser.Keys.TAB, browser.Keys.TAB, browser.Keys.SPACE])

output in Firefox: Error while running .setElementValue() protocol action: invalid type: sequence, expected a string at line 1 column 8

method 3:

browser.element('css selector', '#authExpiryDt', function (result) {
    // Newer versions of the webdriver like Gecko/IEDriver return the element as "element-6066-11e4-a52e-4f735466cecf" instead of "ELEMENT"
    this.elementIdValue(result.value.ELEMENT || result.value["element-6066-11e4-a52e-4f735466cecf"], [browser.Keys.TAB, browser.Keys.TAB, browser.Keys.TAB, browser.Keys.SPACE])
})

output in Firefox: Error while running .setElementValue() protocol action: invalid type: sequence, expected a string at line 1 column 8

As I am seeing two different errors, there may be multiple issues at play here.

kretschmannj commented 4 years ago

I have some more information ... the .setElementValue error is thrown in Firefox because I'm sending an array of values to sendKeys rather than a string. If I change the value to browser.Keys.TAB+browser.Keys.TAB it will work in Firefox. No such issue in Chrome as it doesn't complain at all and works perfectly fine when I send an array of values.

As for the issue with browser.keys, I ran the test in verbose mode (--verbose) and see this in the output ...

One more piece of information ... up to now I've been running the test with the webdriver that's built into Nightwatch. For fun, I thought I'd try the selenium server. Still failed but got a different error this time ...

I am having the same issue with Nightwatch version 1.5.1. Here is my test that is failing:

it('should move focus from the trigger to the first element in the menu', browser => {
    browser.keys(browser.Keys.TAB);
    browser.expect.element('.dropdown-menu li:first-child .dropdown-item').to.be.active;
});

Running just Nightwatch (no selenium); Firefox (82.0) MacOSX 10.15.7:

Error while running .sendKeys() protocol action: An unknown error has occurred.

Error while running .getActiveElement() protocol action: An unknown error has occurred.

Not sure if the activeElement thing is a result of the first step of sendKeys not working, or an additional issue.

Anyone has any workaround? I need it to and in general I guess that ff suxx :/

kretschmannj commented 3 years ago

It has been 4 months since I last looked at this and have this working now, with a few caveats ...

nightwatch v1.5.0 geckodriver v1.20.0 selenium-server v3.141.59

Pieras2 commented 3 years ago

Tnx, I will try

Pieras2 commented 3 years ago

It works for me on both firefox and chrome when I provide list of keys in () not in [].

Tnx for your hints.

// this only works with selenium-server; it doesn't work with webdriver (geckodriver) sendKeys('xpath', "//input[@id='firstName']", [this.api.Keys.SHIFT, this.api.Keys.TAB, this.api.Keys.DOWN_ARROW, this.api.Keys.ENTER]) // this works with both webdriver and selenium-server sendKeys('xpath', "//input[@id='firstName']", this.api.Keys.SHIFT + this.api.Keys.TAB + this.api.Keys.DOWN_ARROW + this.api.Keys.ENTER)

I'm running this through Nightwatch and I'm using the nightwatch.conf.js file to switch between the in-built webdriver that uses the geckodriver downloaded to the project vs using the selenium-server downloaded to the project.

artem-leandata commented 3 years ago

i was able to solve the problem in nightwatch.js by using following method: 


this.setValue('@searchField', poolName, () => {
        this.api.keys([this.api.Keys.DOWN_ARROW, this.api.Keys.DOWN_ARROW, this.api.Keys.ENTER]);
      });
H3RSKO commented 3 years ago

I was able to solve this problem by passing the keycodes to a browser.setValue.

See here for my comment on a previous issue.
