How do I enter text in textfield with onkeyup/onfocus javascript?

Question

We have a web application that I am trying to automate testing for, using Java, Web Driver and TestNG. The biggest challenge I\'m facing (failing at) is to stay ahead of develop

Answer 1

And I found the answer after a day of digging.

To enter text in text-fields with an onfocus Javascript, I need to click() the text-field webelement:

driver.findElement(By.id("my_budget")).click();

This worked - the Javascript executed upon entering the value.

To make entering text + generating events a little easier, I have created a method:

To call this:

sendKeysWithEvent(driver, driver.findElement(By.id("my_budget")), "50000", "onfocus");

Methods:

public static void sendKeysWithEvent(WebDriver driver, WebElement element, String text, String event) throws Exception {
    element.sendKeys(text);
    switch(event) {
    case "keyup":
        new Actions(driver).keyDown(element, Keys.CONTROL).keyUp(element, Keys.CONTROL).perform();
        break;
    case "onblurJS":
        doJavascriptOnElement(driver, element, element.getAttribute("onblur"));
        break;
    case "onfocus":
        element.click();
        break;
    case "keyupJS": 
        doJavascriptOnElement(driver, element, element.getAttribute("onkeyup"));
        break;
    case "keyupTAB":
        element.sendKeys(Keys.TAB);
        break;
    }

}
public static void doJavascriptOnElement(WebDriver driver, WebElement element, String javascript) throws Exception {
    ApiHelper.doLog("Running Javascript: " + javascript);
    ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(javascript, element);

}
