How to press "Enter" in Selenium WebDriver (Nunit Test Case) written in C#?

Question

I am trying to create a automation framework with nunit + Selenium + c#

Our webadmin is based on Devexpress framework hence I can't click button by it's "ID" or atleast I dont know how to. The subtitute to this is simply pressing "Enter" button. I have already tried

driver.FindElement(By.XPath("String")).SendKeys(Keys.Enter);

I get this error with .Click 'ClassLibrary2.UnitTest1.TestMethod2: OpenQA.Selenium.ElementNotVisibleException : Element is not currently visible and so may not be interacted with' — RON12345, Jul 09 '13 at 16:14
'at OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.RemoteWebDriver.UnpackAndThrowOnError(Response errorResponse) in c:\Projects\WebDriver\trunk\dotnet\src\WebDriver\Remote\RemoteWebDriver.cs:line 1009 at OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.RemoteWebDriver.Execute(String driverCommandToExecute, Dictionary`2 parameters) in c:\Projects\WebDriver\trunk\dotnet\src\WebDriver\Remote\RemoteWebDriver.cs:line 849 at ClassLibrary2.UnitTest1.TestMethod2() in C:\Users\Administrator\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\ConsoleApplication1\ConsoleApplication1\Program.cs:line 46 ' — RON12345, Jul 09 '13 at 16:22
my code looks like this ... [Test] public void TestMethod2() { driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://localhost/websearch"); driver.FindElement(By.Id("pcLogin_Panel1_txtUsername_I")).SendKeys("auto test1 "); driver.FindElement(By.Id("pcLogin_Panel1_txtPassword_I")).SendKeys("Exchange1"); driver.SendKeys(Keys.Enter).perform; driver.FindElement(By.Id("pcLogin_Panel1_btnLogon_B")).Click(); Assert.AreEqual("Web Admin - Dashboard", driver.Title); } — RON12345, Jul 09 '13 at 16:23
My Web interface is based on devexpress hence i can't select it by the object ID .. — RON12345, Jul 09 '13 at 16:26
Then your problem is nothing to do with "based on devexpress". What does the message say? It's says what you are trying to interact with simply isn't visible. Therefore you'll have the same issue using `SendKeys(Keys.Enter)`. Post the HTML of the page you are using and try to reproduce it on another website. — Arran, Jul 09 '13 at 17:42

using OpenQA.Selenium.Interactions;

Actions builder = new Actions(driver);        
builder.SendKeys(Keys.Enter);

Use below code to click on an invisible button.

 IWebElement tmpElement = Driver.FindElement(By.Id("invisibleButton"));
 var executor = (IJavaScriptExecutor)Driver;
 executor.ExecuteScript("arguments[0].click();", tmpElement);
 wait.Until(d => { return d.Title.Equals("pageTitle"); });

RON, there is a possibility that DOM is taking time to load after the GoToUrl call. Increase the implicit wait time so that findElement waits more time before throwing any exception. Or use explicit wiat --- http://docs.seleniumhq.org/docs/04_webdriver_advanced.jsp

If still this doesnt work then use Actions class -- http://www.guru99.com/keyboard-mouse-events-files-webdriver.html

Keys.Return() solved the issue for pressing enter
