Below is my Selenium Java

Answer 1

Instead of invoking sendKeys() to the you need to invoke on the element and ideally to click() on the element you need to use WebDriverWait for the elementToBeClickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

• cssSelector:

  WebElement element = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("div.row div.field-crtestrequest-cr_app_name>label[for='crtestrequest-cr_app_name']")));
  element.click();
  element.clear();
  element.sendKeys("Allocation");
  

• xpath:

  WebElement element = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//div[@class='row']//div[contains(@class, 'field-crtestrequest-cr_app_name')]/label[@for='crtestrequest-cr_app_name']")));
  element.click();
  element.clear();
  element.sendKeys("Allocation");
