I'm having trouble automating the typing of quotation mark and apostrophe characters in a text field with ChromeDriver.
By text field I mean an usual input type text element:
<input type="text" name="form.gps"/>
The Geb tests work with Chrome and Firefox browsers.
When I try it as a user, outside of Geb test, the typing of single quotation mark or single apostrophe does nothing. The sequence of quotation mark + space and apostrophe + space works in both browsers.
Example - input of GPS coordinates. The coordinates are specified in this format - ie. 50°5'0.097"N, 14°25'39.719"E.
Setting the value at once doesn't work. The following statement does assign a value, but different than expected.
$("input", name: "form.gps") = "50°5'0.097\"N, 14°25'39.719\"E"
- In Chrome, both quotation mark and apostrophe characters are skipped - "50°50.097N, 14°2539.719E".
- In Firefox, the last apostrophe is merged with E into Ë - "50°5'0.097"N, 14°25'39.719Ë". This can be solved by putting space character after the second " and the string "50°5'0.097\"N, 14°25'39.719\" E" works finally (though in Firefox only).
Trying Slashy-String /50°5'0.097"N, 14°25'39.719"E/ or left shift operator gives the same result.
I tried typing it character by character with a space following each quotation mark or apostrophe.
def gps = [
"50", '°', "5", '\'', Keys.SPACE, "0.097", "\"", Keys.SPACE, "N, ",
"14", '°', "25", '\'', Keys.SPACE, "39.719", "\"", Keys.SPACE, "E"
]
gps.each {
$("input", name: "form.gps") << it
}
This works well in Firefox, but " and ' are still skipped in Chrome.
So, how can I assign my gps coordinates in Chrome?
