Firefox Driver sendKeysToActiveElement

[titusfortner]

This is on Firefox 45 on OSX, with the Firefox Driver. I'm seeing this behavior both local & via remote server.
I tested with FF 45 before it was released and didn't see this behavior, and I'm pretty sure we're testing this in the CI. So, I'm not sure why I'm seeing this right now. Can anyone duplicate?

Expected Behavior -

Post to session/:session_id/keys should type into body of page

Actual Behavior -

Opening a page and sending key command is putting the text into the url bar:

Steps to reproduce -

Seeing the same issue here running protractor against FireFox 53. Any fix or workaround available?

I've checked this using latest Firefox and GeckoDriver and I cannot reproduce this issue:

irb(main):001:0> require 'selenium-webdriver'
irb(main):002:0> driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for(:firefox)
irb(main):003:0> driver.get "http://google.com"
irb(main):005:0> driver.action.send_keys("foo").perform
=> nil

The code above fills "foo" in Google search form.

Let's think it has been fixed :)

I am getting this same issue now. Works fine in Chrome but not in FF. Also works manually so it's not a bug with the environment on FF.

$('.CompetitionSubscription-input.CompetitionSubscription-input--email').sendKeys('tester@testing.com');
ptor.actions().sendKeys(protractor.Key.ENTER).perform();

@BillalPatel Please create a new issue with a test case to reproduce the problem. Also, it would be better if you can have a test case that uses pure Selenium, not with Protractor.

@p0deje Hi there, thanks for responding so soon. I think I have found a way around this so I am for it to be closed. Thanks!

[Y--]

@BillalPatel would you mind sharing your work around? Thanks!

[BillalPatel]

@Y-- I just changed it to:
.sendKeys(protractor.Key.ENTER)
I hope this helps you :)
