I am getting a cannot focus element error when running my test in chrome and edge in FF it works fine. I have tried posted resolutions but to no avail. I am not sure what to do about this. Hoping someone out there can help. Thanks in advance.
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Add")).click();
List <WebElement> groups = new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[1]/section/div/article/form/fieldset/div[3]/div[2]/div/div/div[1]/select"))).getOptions();
groups.get(3).click();
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
WebElement groupRole = driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[1]/section/div/article/form/fieldset/div[3]/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/label[2]"));
js.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", groupRole);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[1]/section/div/article/form/fieldset/div[3]/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/label[2]")).sendKeys(" ");
// Check to see if the user should be made active and set active checkbox to on if value in file is "active"
if (activeFlag.equals("active"))
{
driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[1]/section/div/article/form/fieldset/div[3]/div[1]/div[1]/div/div/input")).sendKeys(" ");
}
// If the user role is to be admin then set the Site role to Administrator
if (userLevel.equals("admin"))
{
List <WebElement> roles = new Select(driver.findElement(By.name("community_role"))).getOptions();
roles.get(1).click();
}

Here is another stack trace. I am actually getting the error when trying to click the submit button not the active flag. I had already done the actions steps which I will also provide.

Code:
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[1]/section/div/article/form/input[2]")));
actions.click();
// actions.sendKeys(" ");
actions.build().perform();
sendkeys method is the problem as per the stack trace.
at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebElement.sendKeys(RemoteWebElement.java:121)
Please try Actions class to first focus on the element then send required keys.
Actions actions = new Actions(driver);
actions.moveToElement(element);
actions.click();
actions.sendKeys("SOME DATA");
actions.build().perform();
The Actions resolution did work after all. I apparently had an extra driver.findElementBy line that should have been commented out as it was a duplicate to something I had moved to another location.
Thanks for your help!!
For future reference, if others run into this issue, make sure you're only finding one element! Chrome tools can be deceiving sometimes when it comes to this. I re-checked my selector in firePath (firefox add-on) and it turned out that I had two matching nodes, even though chrome tools showed me one element.
I Found very important code while reading "Action class" code.
"Action class" Works because of
actions.click()
?!?
.
Try Just putting
element.click()
before
element.sendKeys()
in your existing code.
click() method makes element focused!!~~ THX for every senior
The chosen answer worked only partially for me. By adding
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(element));
element.clear();
before using the suggested answer, it worked completely!
This is an edited version of the correct answer, as I was unable to just copy paste that code. With the code below you can copy paste it (If the element is found as id):
elem = driver.find_element_by_id("WHATEVER THE ELEMENT ID IS HERE")
actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.move_to_element(elem)
actions.click()
actions.send_keys("PUT YOUR TEXT IN HERE")
actions.perform()
May be the Xpath you have set is not up to that element level. E.g. if a text box is traversing through Div\div\textarea then most probably, you are taking only Div\ part. I had the same problem and it got resolved after writing xpath upto textarea node.
