How to type text into a text field using Ruby Selenium Webdriver?

Answer 1

Hi Lily, to type text into a textfield using Ruby Selenium Webdriver, you can use send_keys method. This method basically takes your keyboard input and writes it into the identified textfield. Following example shows how to do that:

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox

driver.navigate.to "https://www.facebook.com"

el = driver.find_element(:id, "email")

el.clear

el.send_keys "abha.rathour@edureka.co" #send_keys method takes the keyboard inputs
