How to press Enter in Selenium?

Question

JavaScript

I am writing an application to automate the work with the site. The site has a chat, sending messages to which occurs when you press the Enter button. Without problems, it turns out to find the field and pass the value to it using .sendKeys("Text"). How to simulate pressing Enter? Tried .sendKeys(Key.ENTER). Does not work. I write in js.

Answer 1

The solution turned out to be easier than expected. It is enough to add a line break character "\n" at the end of the sent message

Answer 2

It is necessary to understand why .sendKeys(Key.ENTER) does not work, it is quite possible that the focus is lost from the input = the cursor is implicitly lost. Try to point the cursor to the place explicitly. like this:
```
driver.get(' www.example.com ');
var element = driver.findElement(webdriver.By.xpath('//div[yourInputXpath]'));
element.sendKeys('your text is here');
element.click;
element.sendKeys(Keys.ENTER);
```
Sorry for the syntax, I don't write in js.
The solution is a crutch, of course, you need to look at why the focus disappears and redefine the sendKeys event, for example. But if you need to, so to speak "Quick" then it should work.

Answer 3

Try.sendKeys(Key.RETURN)
