org.openqa.selenium.UnsupportedCommandException: sendKeysToActiveElement

[gopal3008]

The class in which I want to perform some actions extends to PageObject. Please help how to fix this issue.

Below is the code: Actions actions = new Actions(getDriver); WebElement emptyElement = getDriver().findElement(By.xpath("//*[text()='Crear una cuenta']")); actions.contextClick(emptyElement).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).build().perform(); Actions action = new Actions(getDriver()); action.contextClick(emptyElement).build().perform(); action.contextClick(emptyElement).build().perform(); Robot robot = new Robot(); Thread.sleep(2000); robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN); Thread.sleep(2000); robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN); Thread.sleep(2000); robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN); Thread.sleep(2000); robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN); Thread.sleep(2000); robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN); Thread.sleep(2000); robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN); Thread.sleep(2000); robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);

And Below is the Error: org.openqa.selenium.UnsupportedCommandException: sendKeysToActiveElement Build info: version: '3.141.59', revision: 'e82be7d358', time: '2018-11-14T08:17:03' System info: host: 'USABOS133029L', ip: '10.129.147.28', os.name: 'Windows 10', os.arch: 'amd64', os.version: '10.0', java.version: '11.0.1' Driver info: driver.version: RemoteWebDriver at org.openqa.selenium.remote.http.AbstractHttpCommandCodec.encode(AbstractHttpCommandCodec.java:218) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.http.AbstractHttpCommandCodec.encode(AbstractHttpCommandCodec.java:117) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.HttpCommandExecutor.execute(HttpCommandExecutor.java:152) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver.execute(RemoteWebDriver.java:552) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteExecuteMethod.execute(RemoteExecuteMethod.java:35) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteKeyboard.sendKeys(RemoteKeyboard.java:38) at org.openqa.selenium.interactions.SendKeysAction.perform(SendKeysAction.java:56) at org.openqa.selenium.interactions.CompositeAction.perform(CompositeAction.java:34) at org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions$BuiltAction.perform(Actions.java:642) at com.adidas.membership.program.unit.member.gherkindefinitions.UtilityRewardsProgram.translateToEnglish(UtilityRewardsProgram.java:28) at com.adidas.membership.program.unit.member.gherkindefinitions.CoLoginPageDetails.openCOUrl(CoLoginPageDetails.java:34) at com.adidas.membership.program.unit.member.gherkindefinitions.CoLoginPage.openApplication(CoLoginPage.java:14) at com.adidas.membership.program.unit.member.gherkindefinitions.CoLoginPage$$EnhancerByCGLIB$$cb8219a1.CGLIB$openApplication$0() at com.adidas.membership.program.unit.member.gherkindefinitions.CoLoginPage$$EnhancerByCGLIB$$cb8219a1$$FastClassByCGLIB$$1638fce0.invoke() at net.sf.cglib.proxy.MethodProxy.invokeSuper(MethodProxy.java:228) at net.thucydides.core.steps.StepInterceptor.invokeMethod(StepInterceptor.java:464) at net.thucydides.core.steps.StepInterceptor.executeTestStepMethod(StepInterceptor.java:449) at net.thucydides.core.steps.StepInterceptor.runTestStep(StepInterceptor.java:424) at net.thucydides.core.steps.StepInterceptor.runOrSkipMethod(StepInterceptor.java:165) at net.thucydides.core.steps.StepInterceptor.testStepResult(StepInterceptor.java:152) at net.thucydides.core.steps.StepInterceptor.intercept(StepInterceptor.java:70) at com.adidas.membership.program.unit.member.gherkindefinitions.CoLoginPage$$EnhancerByCGLIB$$cb8219a1.openApplication()

UnsupportedCommandException sounds like a driver issue - the method Selenium is using is not supported by the driver.

[gopal3008]

I made sure that my driver and browser version are in sync what else I could try to do.

Also I use the below code in a completely new project to check if the issue persists but there it is working perfectly fine not sure why not with serenity

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "src/test/resources/webdriver/windows/chromedriver.exe");

       WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
       driver.manage().window().maximize();
       driver.get("https://www.lambdatest.com/feature");
       Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
       WebElement elementLocator = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"vid\"]"));
      actions.contextClick(elementLocator).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).build().perform();
       Actions action = new Actions(driver);
       action.contextClick(elementLocator).build().perform();
       Robot robot = new Robot();
       Thread.sleep(2000);
       robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN);
       Thread.sleep(2000);
       robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN);
       Thread.sleep(2000);
       robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN);
       Thread.sleep(2000);
       robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);

What version of Serenity are you using?

[gopal3008]

I am using 2.0.24

[wakaleo]

Can you provide a sample project showing how it works with plain Selenium action classes and not when you run it through Serenity?

[gopal3008]

Ok This is the new Project with one single class only and it works fine Here: public static void main(String[] args) throws AWTException, InterruptedException { // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "src/test/resources/webdriver/windows/chromedriver.exe");

       WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
       driver.manage().window().maximize();
       driver.get("https://www.lambdatest.com/feature");
       Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
       WebElement elementLocator = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"vid\"]"));
      actions.contextClick(elementLocator).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).build().perform();
       Actions action = new Actions(driver);
       action.contextClick(elementLocator).build().perform();
       Robot robot = new Robot();
       Thread.sleep(2000);
       robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN);
       Thread.sleep(2000);
       robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN);
       Thread.sleep(2000);
       robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN);
       Thread.sleep(2000);
       robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
   }

And in my project I am using below method:

public class ABC extends PageObject {

public void translateToEnglish() throws InterruptedException, AWTException {

    Actions actions = new Actions(getDriver());
    WebElement emptyElement = getDriver().findElement(By.xpath("//*[text()='XYZ']"));
    actions.contextClick(emptyElement).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).build().perform();

// Actions action = new Actions(getDriver()); actions.contextClick(emptyElement).build().perform(); // action.contextClick(emptyElement).build().perform(); Robot robot = new Robot(); Thread.sleep(2000); robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN); Thread.sleep(2000); robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN); Thread.sleep(2000); robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN); Thread.sleep(2000); robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN); Thread.sleep(2000); robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN); Thread.sleep(2000); robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN); Thread.sleep(2000); robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER); }} Let me know if you need more details

[wakaleo]

I mean a project that I can clone or download and run locally to reproduce the issue.

[gopal3008]

It would be difficult to do so because I work in client environment and can't do the same.

My code is working till WebElement emptyElement = getDriver().findElement(By.xpath("//*[text()='XYZ']"));

It gives the error in very next line. If nothing can't be done I will try to create a sample project but it would consume lot of time. What do you suggest ?

[wakaleo]

First, try with 2.2.8. Then create a new project from one of the starter projects and add the code that fails, so that I can reproduce it outside of your environment. The problem can't be fixed if it can't be reproduced.

[gopal3008]

I will try to create a demo project for you to have it.

[gopal3008]

So I tried to create the dummy project but surprisingly the code worked over there but it is still not working in my existing framework or Project. I am so gutted right now. Still giving the same

Build info: version: '3.141.59', revision: 'e82be7d358', time: '2018-11-14T08:17:03' System info: host: 'USABOS133029L', ip: '10.110.112.121', os.name: 'Windows 10', os.arch: 'amd64', os.version: '10.0', java.version: '11.0.1' Driver info: driver.version: RemoteWebDriver at org.openqa.selenium.remote.http.AbstractHttpCommandCodec.encode(AbstractHttpCommandCodec.java:218)

[wakaleo]

Using the Robot class is pretty unreliable in my experience (depends on a lot of factors outside of your control). Have you considered using Javascript to perform the action you are trying to achieve, or bypassing this step in some way?

[gopal3008]

Actually I am trying to create a framework for non English countries. So it is possible to leave this step but the rework will increase when I would change from one non English country to another non English country. So overall efficiency will go down. I can still share the project if you could help where I want to change the language of the webpage.

[globalworming]

I am confused.. How is language related to this?

[gopal3008]

Ok so my final objective is to change the language of the webpage which I am trying to do using the actions and Robot class where I right click on page and then click on translate to English option. Now it is working when I am doing separately in a standalone serenity project but some how is not working in my existing framework or project.

[globalworming]

then spot the difference :) there must be one

[gopal3008]

Yeah I am trying my best. The issue is that the existing framework is huge with 100s of class. But the one which is working is having only one class so it difficult for me I am trying to find one. Thats why thought is there any other way.
