Element after jquery.show and WebDriverException: unknown error: cannot focus element

rated 0 times [ 160] [ 2] / answers: 1 / hits: 25374 / 11 Years ago, tue, january 14, 2014, 12:00:00

My javascript line:

$('#name').show();

My webdriver code line:

wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id(name))).sendKeys(Some Name);

When I run the test it throws the following exception:

WebDriverException: unknown error: cannot focus element

So, I have been searching for a solution. There are some issues reported in chromium google code site. There are a lot of suggestions about using JavaScriptExecutor. But it doesn't seem a better solution for me, because it could make a browser dependent code.

After some hours I finally found a solution by using Actions without JavascriptExecuter:

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);

actions.moveToElement(website);

actions.click();

actions.sendKeys(Some Name);

actions.build().perform();

Well, it worked for me. However, is this way the better solution ?
