Is it correct in Python selenium to send text in text field?

mobile= browser.find_element(By.name("mobile")).sendkeys("0000000000")
mobile.click()

CodePudding user response：

You are setting the variable mobile to be the return value of sendkeys(). Try this:

mobile= browser.find_element(By.name("mobile"))
mobile.sendkeys("0000000000")
mobile.click()

Following the DeprecationWarning in selenium4 ...

DeprecationWarning: find_element_by_* commands are deprecated. Please use find_element() instead

find_element_by_* commands are deprecated in the latest Selenium Python libraries and you have to use find_element() instead.

To send a character sequence to the text field you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

You need to add the following import:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

• Using name:

  driver.find_element(By.NAME, "mobile").send_keys("0000000000")
  

• Using css_selector:

  driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "[name='mobile']").send_keys("0000000000")
  

• Using xpath:

  driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//*[@name='mobile']").send_keys("0000000000")
  

Ideally to send a character sequence to the text field you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

• Using NAME:

  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.NAME, "mobile"))).send_keys("0000000000")
  

• Using CSS_SELECTOR:

  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "[name='mobile']"))).send_keys("0000000000")
  

• Using XPATH:

  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//*[@name='mobile']"))).send_keys("0000000000")
  

• Note: You have to add the following imports :

  from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
  from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
  from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
