Text Formatting

[zoennnnn]

Hi bros,

I've been developing programs using SeleniumBase, and it works really well against websites with strong bot detectors. However, I have a minor issue related to text formatting. I've been trying to use only the native functions of CDP mode for a site I am working on, and whenever I try to input long text into an input field, the line breaks('\n') and or spacing are stripped out.

I also tried using pyperclip, but didn't worked well with cdp mode.

Example Result:

from seleniumbase import SB
import pdb

with SB(uc=True) as bot:

    text = """
    ✅ SeleniumBase README
    🏰 List of Features
    📚 Running Example Tests
    🎛️ Command Line Options
    ✅ SeleniumBase README
    🏰 List of Features
    📚 Running Example Tests
    Hello\nWorld
    """
    pdb.set_trace()
    bot.activate_cdp_mode('https://google.com')
    bot.set_text('[aria-label="Search"]', text)

Since that website is converting \n into a new line, use a workaround. Eg \r\n:

from seleniumbase import SB

with SB(uc=True) as sb:
    url = "https://google.com"
    sb.activate_cdp_mode(url)
    sb.add_text('[name="q"]', "SeleniumBase\r\nGitHub Page")
    sb.sleep(2)

"SeleniumBase" and "GitHub Page" will be written on different lines of the Google Search Bar.

Different websites may require different workarounds. Sometimes PyAutoGUI may be needed.
